Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is the premium next step beyond standard microneedling — combining ultra-fine gold-coated microneedles with controlled radiofrequency energy to remodel collagen up to 4mm beneath the surface. That depth makes it the right tool for concerns surface treatments can’t reach. We use it on the face for jawline tightening, neck laxity, jowls, and fine lines — and on the body for post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss laxity, stretch marks, abdominal tightening, and thigh / arm contouring. Most patients see meaningful improvement in two to three sessions, with results that hold for 12 to 18 months.
Fractional Radiofrequency Microneedling Technology
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with fractional radiofrequency energy to target the dermis and subdermal fat. The matrix of ultrafine, gold-coated microneedles penetrates at customizable depths up to 4mm, with thermal effects reaching 5mm. The dual-action — micro-injuries from the needles plus controlled RF heat — triggers collagen production while contracting existing fibers in a single treatment. The result: tightening, texture, and scar improvement at depths surface microneedling can't touch.
Customized Precision for Face & Body
Each Morpheus8 treatment is tailored to your anatomy and concern. Multiple tip configurations and energy settings let your provider adjust depth and intensity by area — fine under-eye work, jawline lift, neck tightening, abdominal contouring, or thigh skin laxity. Unlike superficial treatments, Morpheus8 reaches into the fibro-septal network, the structural support layer where skin laxity actually starts. That's why it can contour and tighten in the same session. The controlled thermal delivery makes it safe for all skin tones, with minimal hyperpigmentation risk when performed correctly.
How Does Morpheus8 Work?
Morpheus8 isn’t “microneedling with a twist.” It’s a categorically different treatment that reaches the structural support layer where skin laxity actually starts — using gold-coated needles and controlled radiofrequency energy to remodel collagen at depths surface treatments can’t touch.

Most patients start with SkinPen for maintenance and surface refinement, then graduate to Morpheus8 when laxity becomes the concern.
Morpheus8
Above the neck, Morpheus8 is the right tool when topical and surface treatments aren’t reaching the laxity. The face is where the technique matters most — depth, energy, and tip configuration get adjusted by area. Most patients see meaningful tightening in two to three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, with results that hold for 12 to 18 months.
Common face areas:
- Jawline and jowls
- Neck and submental area (under the chin)
- Smile lines and nasolabial folds
- Upper chest (décolletage)
- Periorbital area (around the eyes — fine work only)
Also treats below the neck:
- Abdomen
- Thighs (inner and outer)
- Buttocks
- Upper arms
- Knees
- Back
Benefits of Morpheus8
Tightens skin laxity
RF heat shrinks existing collagen while microneedling triggers new collagen production — visible tightening on face, neck, and body without surgery.
Refines texture & pores
Reaches the dermis where pore size, rough texture, and uneven tone actually live. Most patients see noticeable smoothing by session two.
Softens fine lines
Targets expression lines around the eyes, forehead, and mouth by remodeling the structural layer below the surface — not just resurfacing.
Treats scars & stretch marks
Effective on acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks (post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss). Depth and energy settings adjust to scar type.
Contours below the surface
Reaches the fibroseptal network 4mm deep — the structural support layer where laxity actually starts. That’s why it can contour, not just resurface.
Low downtime, safe for all skin tones
Controlled thermal delivery means minimal hyperpigmentation risk when performed correctly. Most patients return to normal activity within 24–48 hours.
MORPHEUS8 BODY CONTOURING
Morpheus8 isn’t just for the face. The same RF microneedling technology that tightens skin on the jawline and neck targets stretch marks, cellulite, and laxity on the body. Treatment areas at Franco Aesthetics include abdomen, arms, and thighs — each typically a series of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart.
Abdomen
Post-pregnancy laxity, stretch marks, abdominal looseness
RF energy heats the deeper dermal layer to stimulate collagen and tighten skin from the inside out
3 treatments, 4–6 weeks apart
Arms
Upper arm laxity, crepey skin, post-weight-loss looseness
Targets dermal collagen without the downtime of surgical lifts; numbing cream applied before treatment
3 treatments, 4–6 weeks apart
Thighs
Cellulite, inner thigh laxity, stretch marks
Bipolar RF plus microneedles create controlled coagulation in fat and dermis layers — collagen rebuilds over 12 weeks
3 treatments, 4–6 weeks apart
