Morpheus8 RF Microneedling
The Aesthetic Plan in Fullerton understands that fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation issues, and acne scars can affect your skin confidence. Our Morpheus8 RF Microneedling treatment offers a solution to these concerns.
Morpheus RF microneedling is an innovative microneedling system that uses fractional radio frequency to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the lower layers of the skin, building new, healthier skin in the process. This exciting new procedure delivers radio frequency to various depths of your skin in order to target your skin concerns with little to no downtime.

You’ve probably heard of microneedling, which uses micro-needles to stimulate collagen production and mitigate acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, large pores, and other cosmetic issues. Morpheus8 RF microneedling simply adds radio frequency and heat to the process to further stimulate collagen production in the lower layers of the skin. This added energy boosts the treatment’s effectiveness in revitalizing and remodeling the skin, helping to heal the skin from within and build a healthier, smoother outer layer.
Microneedling is an excellent way to rejuvenate your skin, but Morpheus8 RF microneedling takes this rejuvenation to a whole new level. Your skin is your largest organ and is made up of three layers: the epidermis, or outer layer; the dermis, or middle layer; and the hypodermis, which contains submental fat. The radio waves in Morpheus8 RF microneedling trigger collagen production in the dermal layer of the skin, where collagen and elastin are found. Unlike traditional microneedling, which only enters the epidermis layer of the skin, Morpheus8 RF microneedling penetrates the outer layer and stimulates the collagen and elastin in the dermis layer.
The Morpoheus 8 RF microneedling system also triggers collagen induction, but it does so with insulated needles instead of non-insulated ones. Certain scars that do not respond well to Infini will respond to Morpheus8 RF microneedling. We offer both systems to give you treatments tailored to your needs.
Morpheus8 RF microneedling is safe and effective for both men and women. Our approach integrates functional medicine principles, ensuring that good health drives aesthetic results. We offer personalized treatment plans that address both current concerns and future needs, emphasizing continuity of care. Our minimally invasive procedures deliver surgical-like results, often enhancing outcomes when combined with other treatments. With his expertise and commitment to staying current with medical trends, Dr. Fisher ensures that each treatment is tailored to your unique needs.

When you arrive at our office for your procedure, we will cleanse your face and prepare it for topical, local, or block anesthesia to the face. This will help eliminate any discomfort you may feel from the needles. Once this anesthetic has activated, we will again cleanse your face and begin the procedure. Most patients do not feel any sensation on the skin. Your skin may feel warm from the radio frequency waves accompanying the microneedling. Deeper needling can provide better results. This procedure doesn’t take very long—approximately 30 to 40 minutes—and the downtime is minimal.
Morpheus8 RF microneedling can be used on the face, hands, neck, chest, back, elbows, or knees. You will see results after the first or second treatment, and results can last up to one year.
You will see smoother, more beautiful skin, diminishment of fine lines and wrinkles, smaller pore size, improved skin texture and tone, reduced acne scarring, and improved skin tone.
For best results, follow the aftercare instructions we provide you after each treatment. It is important to wait at least eight hours before reapplying makeup. Wait one to two days before exercising strenuously or entering a sauna or hot tub. You should sleep on a new pillowcase or towel the first night to avoid oils and dirt from your previous sleep on your skin, which will be sensitive. Also, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen for several days, and our offerings of vitamin-formulated moisturizers for skin recovery and optimized skin health.
Any discomfort can be alleviated with a topical anesthetic; however, adjunct medication, nitrous oxide, local anesthetic solution under the skin, and nerve blocks are available to the patient to render the treatment virtually painless if needed. Once in the office, the patient has the choice to use nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to decrease pain awareness, topical numbing cream on the skin, local anesthetic solutions, and nerve blocks to render the treatment as painless as possible. Patients will need to arrange transportation to and from the office in order to undergo treatment.
Morpheus8 RF microneedling uses insulated or microneedles and has the capability to reach 8mm below the skin line, while Secret RF microneedling may use non-insulated needles or insulated microneedles and may reach 4mm below the skin line.
You'll start to notice results after your first treatment, which improves with a second treatment, but optimal results appear three months after the third treatment. Our fully trained provider staff can provide all the details you need to make an informed decision about your Morpheus8 RF procedure.
RF microneedling rarely causes facial fat loss; however, it can happen. Normally, this is due to inadvertently treating the deeper tissues of the skin and melting the fat beneath during treatment. Most of the time, this does not occur when using the right depth-adjusted applicator and avoiding deeper penetration of the needles below the dermis.
