Lift, Tighten, Transform: Inside the Power of Morpheus8
If you’re looking for next-level skin tightening, smoothing, and contouring without surgery, InMode Morpheus8 might just be your new obsession. This advanced treatment is one of the most talked-about technologies in aesthetics—and for good reason. At Urban Chic Aesthetix, Morpheus8 is used to help clients achieve firmer, smoother, more youthful-looking skin with results that continue to improve over time.
Below, we’re breaking down exactly what Morpheus8 is, how it works, what it treats, and why pairing it with the right aftercare and complementary services can truly elevate your results.
What Is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This powerful combination stimulates collagen and elastin production deep within the skin—far beyond what traditional microneedling can achieve.
What sets Morpheus8 apart is that it targets the deeper layers of the skin and subdermal tissue, helping to remodel and tighten from the inside out. The result? Smoother texture, improved tone, reduced laxity, and a more sculpted appearance.
Industry-Leading Technology by InMode
Morpheus8 is created by InMode, a globally recognized leader in aesthetic technology. InMode devices are known for their clinically proven results, safety, and innovation.
Morpheus8 uses fractionated radiofrequency energy delivered through customizable microneedles, allowing your provider to precisely tailor the treatment based on your skin type, concern, and treatment area. This level of customization means more effective results with minimal downtime.
How Does Morpheus8 Work?
Morpheus8 works by:
Creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin using microneedles
Delivering RF energy deep into the dermis and fat layers
Triggering the body’s natural healing response
Stimulating collagen and elastin production
Remodeling tissue for tighter, firmer skin
Because it treats deeper layers, Morpheus8 can address concerns that topical treatments and superficial procedures simply can’t.
What Results Can You Expect?
Results from Morpheus8 are both visible and progressive. While some clients notice improvements within a few weeks, optimal results typically develop over 2–3 months as collagen continues to rebuild.
Common results include:
Firmer, tighter skin
Improved skin texture and tone
Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
Improved jawline and facial contour
Reduced acne scarring and enlarged pores
Smoother appearance of stretch marks and crepey skin
Results can last 12 months or longer, especially when paired with a good skincare routine and maintenance treatments.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Most clients benefit from a series of 2–3 treatments, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. However, your provider at Urban Chic Aesthetix will create a customized treatment plan based on your goals, skin condition, and treatment area.
Maintenance treatments may be recommended annually to preserve results.
Areas of the Face & Body That Can Be Treated
Morpheus8 is incredibly versatile and can be used on both the face and body.
Popular treatment areas include:
Face & Neck
Face (full face or targeted areas)
Under-eye area
Jawline and jowls
Neck
Décolletage

This makes Morpheus8 a great option for clients looking to address skin laxity and texture concerns beyond the face.

Morpheus8 is ideal for individuals who want noticeable skin improvement without surgery or extensive downtime. You may be a great candidate if you are looking to:
Improve skin laxity or sagging
Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
Improve uneven skin texture or tone

Limited tightening benefits
Morpheus8:
Delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis and fat layers
