In the aesthetics world, few treatments match the prominent, all-natural results that a Morpheus8 RF microneedling treatment creates.
By taking advantage of the body’s healing abilities, our team at Southwest Michigan Plastic Surgery & Med Spa can revitalize your skin and reduce the telltale signs of aging. If you’re considering this treatment, you probably have a few questions, but we have the answers.
So before you sign up for Morpheus in Kalamazoo County, look through some of the most frequently asked questions we receive about this treatment, so you can come to your first session with confidence and peace of mind.
How does Morpheus8 work?
Morpheus8 works using a combination of 2 treatment methods: microneedling and radiofrequency energy.
Microneedling involves treating the skin with several small needles. As these needles create tiny “micro-injuries” on the surface of the skin, the body sends collagen and elastin proteins to the treatment area.

These essential proteins help maintain tight and healthy skin, and we can use them to reduce aesthetic concerns like dark spots, acne scarring, and wrinkles.
Next, we stimulate the micro-injuries with radiofrequency energy, which gently heats up the skin and stimulates the production of additional collagen and elastin proteins. This provides better results and boosted aesthetic improvements.
How many sessions of Morpheus8 will I need?
Traditionally, we recommend patients receive 2 to 4 treatments for the best results.
However, the exact answer to this question is different for every patient. At Southwest Michigan Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, we design unique treatment plans for everyone. That means depending on your goals, you may have more or fewer treatment sessions than another patient.
Is Morpheus8 painful?
Most patients do not find the Morpheus8 treatment painful. Many describe the sensation as a prickling and warming feeling. But if your skin is sensitive or you have concerns about discomfort, we can apply a topical numbing agent to the skin before your session.
We also offer Pro-Nox, which is an inhalant that reduces pain and eases anxiety.
Can I pair it with other treatments?
Yes—it pairs very well with other treatments. In fact, we recommend it! Morpheus8 makes an excellent complement to contouring treatments like FaceTite and BodyTite. We even add Excel V and Laser Genesis to well-prepared skin.
After these treatments reduce stubborn pockets of fat, Morpheus8 can tighten any loose skin remaining after the procedure. While these treatments do tighten skin some, Morpheus8 enhances the natural fat reduction and skin tightening results, boosting the patient’s aesthetic confidence at the same time.
