Eliminate localised fat without surgery
What is Morpheus 8?
Morpheus 8 is a cutting-edge aesthetic treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) to reshape and rejuvenate the skin.
This equipment works on deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production, which results in a firmer, more toned and youthful skin.
How does it work?
- MicroneedlingThe device uses small needles that pierce the skin at different depths. These “micro-injuries” trigger the skin's natural healing process, promoting cell regeneration.
- RadiofrequencyAt the same time, the Morpheus emits radiofrequency energy waves that heat up the underlying layers of the skin. This heat helps to contract the tissues and stimulates collagen production.
- Combined resultsThe combined action of micro-needling and radiofrequency improves skin texture, reduces wrinkles, sagging and other imperfections.
WHAT CAN IT TREAT?
The treatment is versatile and can be used on various areas of the body, such as the face, neck, abdomen, arms and thighs. Some of the main indications include:
- Facial and body sagging
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars or other marks
- Stretch marks
- Uneven skin texture
- Localised fat (in areas such as the double chin)
- Enlarged pores

NUMBER OF SESSIONS
with Morpheus 8
The results begin to appear gradually over a few weeks, as collagen is formed. For many, a single session already brings visible improvements, but they are usually recommended every two weeks. 3 to 4 sessions for optimal results.
HOW LONG IT LASTS MORPHEUS 8 TREATMENT?
Initial resultsSome improvements may be visible within a week of treatment, but the results continue to improve over 3 months due to the gradual production of collagen.
Duration of resultsThe results can last from 1 to 3 years, depending on lifestyle, age and skin care. For maintenance, many clinics recommend an annual session.
CARE TO TAKE AFTER TREATMENT
Recovery time is short, Most people can resume their normal activities the same day or the next day. There may be a slight peeling of the skin after 2-3 days, as the damaged cells renew themselves.
Take care:
- Avoid wearing make-up for 48 hours after treatment
- Use sun protection SPF50+
- Use moisturising creams
- Using abrasive cosmetics
- Avoid intense physical exercise for 48 hours after treatment
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Although it is safe for most people, some conditions may contraindicate the use of Morpheus 8:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding;
- Active infections in the treated area;
- Autoimmune diseases that affect skin healing;
- Recent use of isotretinoin (in treatments for severe acne).
A TAILOR-MADE TREATMENT PLAN
The first step to starting your face or body treatment is to have a consultation with one of our doctors specialising in Aesthetic Medicine.
At the first appointment, a diagnosis will be made of the problems to be treated and a personal, individualised treatment plan will be drawn up, indicating the number of sessions required for younger, firmer skin.
