FAQs about Morpheus 8 and Morpheus 8 Body:
Morphing deep from within the skin and fat to restore lift, find and protect youthful smoothness, and even trim contours
What is Morpheus 8 all about?
Morpheus 8 is a combination treatment that provides microneedling along with a warming energy called radiofrequency at the same moment. This allows you to potentially experience lifting of the face, jowls, eyelids, jawline, neck and chest, delayed or fewer wrinkles, smaller pores, smoother skin, more collagen, and even superficial resurfacing. Special settings and treatment protocols are used by the talented Apex Dermatology specialists to focus on specific goals for each part of the face or other treated area.
What about Morpheus 8 Body, is that different?
True to its name, the Morpheus8 Body can “morph” your under-chin and body into a more lifted, contoured, defined, and toned position. It accomplishes what diet and exercise alone can’t do, as many of the aesthetic concerns that lead to the desire for treatment at Apex Dermatology in Westlake Village, California, are multi-factorial – going beyond eating too much and exercising too little.
Why doesn’t diet and exercise seem to make a difference?
We understand your frustration! Localized fat deposits are common. They are also incredibly stubborn. Since contributors include genetics and age-related changes, eating better and even the most targeted exercises may fail to get the results and restore your desired contours.
Why does the Morpheus8 Body work?
We have carefully selected every technology and service available at our specialty center. So, yes, we stand by the effectiveness and safety of the Morpheus8 Body. Its tightening effects from deep within the skin can improve the appearance of stubborn fatty areas (and other cosmetic concerns). When we use Morpheus 8 Body we can treat the higher layers of the skin to reduce crepiness or stretch marks or we can use the settings on the Morpheus 8 Body handpeice that penetrate deep into the tissues to stimulate structural changes that ultimately result in a smoother, sleeker and leaner appearance to the body and underchin (if desired).
How does the technology work?
We use special applicators to deliver the energy that works wonders on the skin and potentially fat – depending on specific goals of the zone of treatment. Morpheus8 is like a dual treatment in that it combines both microneedling techniques and Radiofrequency (RF) energy. The microneedles create tiny punctures or channels within the skin, which stimulates a beneficial healing process. They are also so small that tugging and pulling are minimized for added comfort. The RF energy is also delivered in a fractionated and highly-targeted manner. Only a small portion of the skin is treated at a time to support optimal safety as well as the best treatment outcomes, here again, due to its precision. RF energy and the healing process that is triggered help to promote the development of fresh collagen, which contributes to firmer and tighter skin.
What does Morpheus8 treat?
There are numerous applications for the Morpheus8, which makes it a highly versatile treatment. As fresh collagen is produced, depressions are filled in. So, our providers may recommend this system for patients with scars from past acne outbreaks, stretch marks, lines, wrinkles, and other textural irregularities. This is, of course, in addition to addressing laxity of the face or body and even localized deposits of fat in areas such as along the jawline, around the middle, waistline, around c-section scars and on the backside and knees.
Will I lose fat in my face if I have Morpheus 8?
Most people choosing to have Morpheus 8 full face or jawline at Apex Dermatology have specific desires and goals. If they wish to reduce fat under the chin or the lower face, we can dial in specific settings to assist with that. If they do not wish to change fat levels, then we focus solely on lifting and tightening and do not target their fat. Your goals for your skin are attended to in a bespoke skincare fashion just for you.
Does Morpheus 8 hurt?

For Morpheus 8 treatments, we use a combination of topical numbing, a cooling device and safely breathed quick clearing comfort measures such as Pronox to provide the best experience.

Patients having Morpheus 8 at Apex Dermatology are highly satisfied by the degree of comfort we are able to provide them to have this excellent treatment to support lift and toning of the face, jawline, eyelids, neck, chest and body.
