Morpheus 8
Rejuvenate Your Face
& Body From the Inside Out
Learn more.
Morpheus8 is an advanced radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatment that stimulates collagen, remodels tissue, and improves skin tone, texture, and firmness. This minimally invasive procedure delivers controlled RF energy deep into the dermis, helping your skin regenerate from within for a smoother, tighter, more youthful appearance.
At Rise Health in Lander, WY, we use Morpheus8 to support both facial and body rejuvenation as part of a whole-person, functional approach to wellness. Whether you're hoping to soften wrinkles, build collagen, tighten laxity, reduce acne scarring, or smooth stretch marks, Morpheus8 offers natural-looking results with minimal downtime, making it a perfect solution for patients in Fremont County who prioritize both results and recovery.
What Morpheus8 Treats: Comprehensive Skin Remodeling
Morpheus8 is highly versatile and can be performed almost anywhere on the body where skin can benefit from renewal and remodeling. Because it targets both the dermis and subdermal layers, it’s able to address concerns that traditional microneedling and many lasers cannot.
Addressing Fine Lines and Deep Wrinkles
Morpheus8 is exceptionally effective at diminishing the appearance of fine lines and deeper wrinkles, including the common smile lines (nasolabial folds), lines around the mouth, and forehead creases. The combination of microneedling and thermal energy prompts the skin to contract and rebuild its foundational structure, leading to a natural plumping and smoothing effect. This process of neocollagenesis—the creation of new collagen—results in firmer, more resilient skin over the following months.
Targeting Skin Laxity and Contouring
One of the most requested areas for treatment is the lower face, under the chin, and the neck. Morpheus8 delivers targeted RF energy to tighten mild to moderate skin laxity, addressing the early signs of jowling and improving the definition of the jawline and neck contour. This deep remodeling capability provides a subtle lift and tightening that can significantly enhance a patient's profile without the need for surgery.
Improving Scars and Textural Irregularities
For patients struggling with textural concerns like acne scarring, surgical scars, or uneven skin roughness, Morpheus8 offers a powerful solution. The micro-injuries break down existing scar tissue and stimulate the body’s healing response. The simultaneous delivery of RF energy drives deeper cellular repair, promoting the growth of healthier, smoother skin to replace the scarred areas, making it effective for both facial and body acne scarring.
Reducing Stretch Marks and Cellulite
Morpheus8 is also a game-changer for body concerns, including stretch marks and the dimpled appearance of cellulite on the hips, thighs, and abdomen. The thermal energy from the RF device specifically targets and remodels the fibrous bands and tissue irregularities that contribute to cellulite. For stretch marks (striae), Morpheus8 promotes the repair of the damaged dermal matrix, resulting in smoother, less noticeable marks.
How Morpheus8 Works: Subdermal Adipose Remodeling
Morpheus8 is classified as a Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device (SARD). This distinction is crucial, as it signifies that the device doesn't just treat the superficial layer of the skin—it remodels the deeper tissues, including the fat layer, to improve overall firmness and contour. This deep-reaching technology is what separates Morpheus8 from superficial treatments, allowing us to achieve comprehensive and long-lasting improvements in skin quality and contour
Here’s a breakdown of the patented process:
Microneedles Create Controlled Micro-Injuries: Tiny, sterile needles penetrate the skin at customizable depths (up to 8mm on the body). These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing cascade.
Radiofrequency (RF) Energy is Delivered Deep into the Dermis: Immediately following the penetration, the needles deliver heat into the subdermal layers. This thermal energy is the powerhouse that triggers the production of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
Tissue Remodeling Occurs Over the Following Months: The combination of mechanical injury and thermal energy leads to two effects: immediate tissue contraction and long-term neocollagenesis. This results in firmer, smoother, more lifted skin, often with improved contour and a subtle reduction in adipose volume in targeted areas.
Safe for All Skin Tones: Unlike many traditional laser treatments, Morpheus8 is safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker skin tones. The RF energy targets tissue below the pigment layer of the skin (the epidermis), significantly reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Benefits of Morpheus8: Powerful Results Without Major Downtime
Patients choose Morpheus8 because it delivers powerful, clinically-proven results with minimal downtime, fitting easily into the active/busy lifestyle of our community. The comprehensive benefits stem from its ability to treat multiple layers of tissue simultaneously.
The primary advantage is the Improved Skin Architecture, characterized by tighter, firmer skin and a reduction in both fine lines and wrinkles. Furthermore, patients experience significant Textural Enhancement, noticing softer acne scarring, diminished stretch marks, and overall smoother, more even-toned skin. This deep remodeling also leads to Contour Refinement, providing subtle fat remodeling in areas like the jowls or abdomen, resulting in a more sculpted, youthful appearance. While some patients notice immediate subtle tightening, the most dramatic and satisfying results develop over several months as the body's natural collagen production peaks.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Morpheus8 may be an excellent non-surgical fit if you are experiencing:
Mild to moderate skin laxity (sagging) on the face, neck, or body.
Fine lines or deeper wrinkles, particularly around the mouth and eyes.
Acne scarring, large pores, or significant textural concerns.
Stretch marks or areas of mild cellulite.
Changes in skin quality due to aging, sun damage, or hormones (e.g., post-pregnancy skin changes).
Early signs of jowling or loss of definition in the lower face.
What to Expect During Your Visit at Rise Health
At Rise Health, your comfort and care are our highest priority. We ensure the entire Morpheus8 process is transparent, comfortable, and aligns with your overall wellness goals.
Before Treatment: Personalized Consultation and Preparation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with a Rise Health medical provider. We take the time to discuss your specific aesthetic goals, evaluate your skin health, and determine if Morpheus8 is the ideal treatment for you, often integrating it into a broader functional health plan. On the day of the procedure, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and prepared. We then apply a medical-grade topical numbing cream for up to 60 minutes to ensure the procedure is highly tolerable and comfortable.
During Treatment: Precision and Comfort
Once the area is adequately numbed, the Morpheus8 device is passed systematically over the targeted areas. Our medical provider will precisely control the depth of the microneedles and the delivery of the RF energy based on the treatment area and your specific goals. Most patients describe the sensation as manageable—a feeling of mild pressure combined with waves of heat or tiny pinches. A typical appointment, depending on the area treated (e.g., full face, neck, or body), usually takes between 60 to 90 minutes.
After Treatment: Minimal Downtime and Essential Post-Care
Recovery is quick compared to more invasive procedures. Immediately following treatment, you will experience redness, mild swelling, and a sensation of tightness, similar to a strong sunburn. For the first 24–72 hours, you may also see tiny micro-lesions (the entry points of the needles). Crucially, we will provide detailed post-care instructions centered around gentle hydration and, most importantly, diligent sun protection using a broad-spectrum SPF. Most patients feel comfortable returning to normal activities within 1–2 days. Makeup can typically be worn after 24–48 hours, once the skin surface is fully intact. You’ll begin noticing subtle results within a few weeks, with continued, significant improvement for up to three months post-treatment. We typically recommend 2–3 treatments, spaced 3–4 weeks apart, for optimal long-term results

FAQs
-
Traditional microneedling creates micro-channels that treat surface-level concerns, enhancing product absorption. Morpheus8 goes dramatically deeper. Its insulated needles deliver potent radiofrequency heat into the subdermal layers. This thermal energy provides a much greater stimulus for collagen and elastin production, leading to superior skin tightening, better contouring, and more dramatic results for scarring and deep wrinkles that traditional microneedling cannot achieve alone.
-
Morpheus8 is considered safe for all skin types and tones when performed by an experienced medical provider like those at Rise Health. Common temporary side effects include the expected redness, mild swelling, small scabs, or flaky skin, all of which resolve quickly. Rarely, patients may experience hyperpigmentation, though the technology is designed to minimize this risk. Choosing an experienced, medically supervised provider is the best way to ensure proper technique and minimize risks.
-
The results from a full course of Morpheus8 treatments can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on your age, lifestyle, ongoing skincare routine, and sun exposure. The collagen your body builds is permanent; however, the natural aging process continues. We often recommend an annual maintenance session to prolong and refresh your results.
-
Absolutely. Morpheus8 works exceptionally well when paired with other treatments. For instance, we may recommend pairing it with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to accelerate healing and boost results, or alternating with a Lumecca (IPL) package to address concerns that Morpheus8 does not treat, creating a truly customized and comprehensive rejuvenation plan.
Patient Success Stories
“I never used to sweat. After I had my son, and my hormones changed I began to sweat under my arms. It was embarrassing to be at work. But now, after having morpheus, I sweat less and my confidence is back!
My experience was fantastic. I was worried about having a procedure done on my armpits. KD and Dr. Strandberg were professional and compassionate. They made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole procedure. The process was short and sweet with outstanding results. I would go through the treatment time and time again to have these results!”
Sierra | Morepheus8 Body
I struggled with cystic acne in high school, leaving me with deep facial scarring and textured skin. After two of my three treatments, I've noticed a tremendous difference in the smoothness & clarity of my skin. The texture has improved, and I've had very few breakouts since. The downtime and healing process was minimal compared to other more invasive treatments. Now, I feel more confident than ever and comfortable wearing less makeup.
I'm looking forward to my final session with Dr. Firth and highly recommend going to Rise Health for any of their Optimas treatments.
