Morpheus8™ in Calgary
Morpheus8™ combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel collagen beneath the surface. It is used for texture, scarring and laxity.
How Morpheus8™ works
Fine needles deliver radiofrequency energy into deeper layers of the skin, where it stimulates collagen and tightening. Depth can be adjusted by area.
Because the energy is delivered below the pigment-bearing surface layer, fractional radiofrequency can be offered across a wide range of skin types. Results build over weeks to months.
- Acne scars
- Skin laxity on the face, jawline or neck
- Texture and enlarged-looking pores
- Fine lines
A physician assesses skin type, laxity and scarring and plans a series. Related: RF microneedling, acne scarring.
