It works by using a 24-pin micro needling tip which penetrates the skin between 1mm – 4mm deep on the face and neck. After penetrating the skin, it emits radio frequency (heat energy) which causes small areas of tissue destruction. This leads to new collagen and elastin formation which results in tightening and thickening of the skin. What sets Morpheus8 apart is that it is the only FDA cleared micro needling device on the market approved for fat destruction. This means it can be used to eliminate fat in areas such as: under the chin, the lower cheek, and areas of the body (abdomen, back, arms). Morpheus8 Body uses the same technology, only with a larger, 40-pin micro needling tip which can penetrate skin up to 8mm for deeper fat remodeling.
