For individuals exploring non-surgical options to improve skin laxity, texture, or acne scars, InMode Morpheus8 is a commonly used treatment in aesthetic practice.
By combining radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling, it targets deeper layers of the skin to support collagen production and gradual skin remodelling.
At ICON Medical Aesthetics, Morpheus8 is offered as part of a personalised treatment approach, with parameters adjusted based on individual skin concerns and clinical assessment.
What Is InMode Morpheus8?

InMode Morpheus8 is a fractional radiofrequency microneedling device designed to deliver RF energy into the skin through fine needles. This process creates controlled micro-injuries while applying heat to deeper layers, supporting collagen and elastin production.
The treatment may be used for concerns such as skin laxity, uneven texture, and acne scarring, depending on individual suitability.
Key Features
Fractional RF microneedling technology
Targets multiple skin layers at adjustable depths
Supports collagen and elastin production
Can be used on both face and body areas
Suitable for a range of skin types, subject to medical assessment
At ICON Medical Aesthetics, treatment settings such as depth and energy levels are individualised for each patient.
How Does Morpheus8 Work?

Morpheus8 uses microneedles to deliver radiofrequency energy at controlled depths within the skin. The combined mechanical and thermal effects stimulate the skin’s natural healing response.
Treatment Mechanism
Microneedles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin
RF energy heats targeted tissue layers
The process stimulates collagen and elastin production
Skin remodelling occurs gradually over time
As the treatment is fractional, surrounding untreated skin supports the healing process.
