Microneedling RF Lifting Morpheus8: how the procedure works, explained by a LEO BEAUTY CLINIC doctor
Everything you need to know about the innovative cosmetic procedure of microneedling RF lifting using the Morpheus8 device, and how to achieve the best results for your skin, is explained by Margarita Matsukevich, a doctor at LEO BEAUTY CLINIC in Warsaw.
LEO Beauty Clinic has the largest updated park of high-efficiency cosmetic devices in Poland.
How Microneedling RF Lifting Morpheus8 works
I really like the technology of microneedling RF lifting, but with this device, it is possible to work more deeply with the skin and subcutaneous fat.
The essence of the procedure lies in combining microneedles, which create “controlled micro-injuries” and trigger regeneration processes, with radiofrequency waves (RF energy) that heat the tissue. The heating penetrates deep layers, reaching the subcutaneous fat — in this way, Morpheus8 can “remodel” this tissue.
After the micro-injuries and thermal effect, cells actively produce new collagen and elastin, making the skin firmer and more elastic. The procedure helps to define the facial contour, remove small fat deposits (under the chin, malar areas, drooping nasolabial folds, etc.).
Who is Microneedling RF Lifting for
The procedure is suitable for wrinkles, loss of skin tone, scars, and post-acne spots. The specialist controls the entire procedure and the depth of heating. In some cases, subcutaneous fat does not need to be treated, so more superficial settings are applied to preserve fat deposits.
Various body areas can also be treated to remove small fat deposits and firm the skin: abdomen, elbows, knees, “love handles” on the thighs, etc. I especially like how the device works on cesarean scars — after treatment, the scar becomes less noticeable and more comfortable (does not pull or hurt).
When to expect results
Results are noticeable after the first session. Maximum effect appears over time: the skin gradually renews, with visible improvements after several weeks or months. Morpheus8 can penetrate up to 8 mm, which is much deeper compared to other devices on the market.
Typically, therapy is carried out in a course: 2–4 sessions, spaced 1–1.5 months apart, depending on the skin condition and patient’s goals.
How to prepare for Microneedling RF Lifting
It is recommended to have a few sessions of polynucleotide injections or plasma therapy beforehand. This allows the skin to activate its regeneration resources, making the procedure more effective and faster in showing results.
How the procedure is performed
In most cases, the procedure is comfortable. First, a numbing cream is applied to the areas to be treated. Some patients even sleep during the procedure. I have personally had this procedure and can say with confidence: there is nothing to fear.
Recovery is simple. For a few days, redness, swelling, and dryness may appear. Small pinpoint marks from the needles may also be visible for up to a month (usually barely noticeable). If the procedure is done on the body, healing takes longer. Therefore, it is recommended to undergo the treatment during colder seasons to avoid sun exposure on treated areas.
Post-procedure advice
It is important to follow post-treatment recommendations: avoid sun exposure, use sunscreen (to prevent pigmentation), avoid steam, aggressive products, or scrubs, wash gently, use healing creams, and avoid sports for 2–3 days. These recommendations are simple and manageable. At LEO BEAUTY CLINIC, we apply similar advice after almost all device or injection procedures, so it is easy for patients to follow.
Most importantly: the Morpheus8 device for microneedling RF lifting is FDA-certified for aesthetic cosmetology, but it is essential to choose an experienced specialist.
