Frequently Asked Questions
What is Morpheus8? Morpheus8 is a fractional skin treatment combining radiofrequency energy and microneedling to remodel collagen in the dermis, offered at Med Aesthetics Miami’s three South Florida locations. The device targets deeper skin layers for tighter, smoother skin over several months.
What areas does Morpheus8 treat? Med Aesthetics Miami treats the face, periorbital area, neck, abdomen, thighs, legs, and buttocks with Morpheus8. The practice targets wrinkles, sagging skin, acne scars, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation across all seven areas.
Who should not get Morpheus8? Commonly recognized contraindications for RF microneedling include pregnancy or breastfeeding, active pacemakers, active skin infections, recent Accutane use, and a history of keloid scarring. A consultation at Med Aesthetics Miami confirms individual candidacy.
How many Morpheus8 sessions do I need? Most patients need 1 to 3 Morpheus8 sessions, though the exact count varies by treatment area and individual response. The treating practitioner at Med Aesthetics Miami determines the number of sessions during the initial consultation.
How quickly will I see Morpheus8 results? Patients typically see initial improvements within days of treatment. The most noticeable changes develop around three weeks as new collagen forms, and results continue improving for up to three months, varying by individual.
How long do Morpheus8 results last? Morpheus8 results typically last about 1 year with consistent sun protection and skincare habits, though the duration varies by individual. Maintenance sessions at Med Aesthetics Miami’s three South Florida locations can extend results for patients seeking longer-term outcomes.
What are the side effects of Morpheus8? Most patients experience mild redness, swelling, and small micro-lesions that resolve within a few days. Bruising can occur depending on treatment depth. Rare complications, such as infection, are possible with any energy-based treatment.
Is Morpheus8 safe for dark skin tones? Morpheus8’s radiofrequency energy is color-blind and does not target melanin, which is why it’s commonly used across Fitzpatrick skin types I through VI. Pigmentary changes remain possible, so a consultation determines individual candidacy and settings.
How much does Morpheus8 cost in Miami? Morpheus8 is priced by area at Med Aesthetics Miami: eyes from $470/session, face and neck $1,000/session, neck $680/session, and body $1,100/session, with 3-session packages available at a reduced rate for each area.
How is Morpheus8 different from traditional microneedling? Morpheus8 combines RF energy with microneedling to reach deeper dermal layers, while traditional microneedling works mechanically at the surface. Morpheus8 typically requires fewer sessions and can treat body areas, though outcomes vary depending on the individual protocol.
What should I do to prepare for Morpheus8? Patients review current medications and supplements with the treating provider at the initial consultation — prescribed medications should never be stopped without the prescriber’s direction. Patients also avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for two weeks and apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 daily beforehand.

Morpheus8 at Med Aesthetics Miami combines FDA-cleared RF microneedling technology with 1 to 3 sessions to remodel collagen across seven treatment areas, following a candidacy review at consultation.
