Morpheus RF Microneedling
Morpheus RF Microneedling combines radiofrequency energy with controlled microneedling to tighten, smooth, and rejuvenate the skin at a deeper level.
What is it?
Morpheus RF Microneedling is an advanced, non-surgical treatment that merges microneedling with fractional radiofrequency (RF) energy to rejuvenate the skin from deep within. The device delivers controlled heat through ultra-fine needles, stimulating collagen and elastin production at multiple skin depths.
At AvenueMD, Dr. Salsberg and Dr.Motakis tailor each treatment to your skin’s unique needs—addressing laxity, fine lines, acne scarring, and textural irregularities while maintaining safety and comfort. This combination of precise depth control and thermal energy allows for more powerful remodeling than traditional microneedling alone.
Morpheus is appropriate for the face, neck, and body, including delicate areas like the jawline and under-eyes, as well as the abdomen and arms.
How does it work?
During treatment, a handheld device equipped with fine, gold-coated microneedles delivers RF energy into the dermis. The micro-injuries trigger natural healing while the heat contracts existing collagen and promotes new fiber formation.
The device’s adjustable depth allows us to target specific layers of tissue for precise contouring and tightening. Treatment typically lasts 45–60 minutes, with topical anesthetic applied for comfort.
A series of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart achieves optimal improvement, with maintenance sessions recommended annually to sustain collagen renewal.
Recovery and downtime
Most patients experience mild redness, warmth, or pinpoint swelling for 24–48 hours—similar to a light sunburn. Tiny micro-marks may appear and fade naturally within several days. Makeup can usually be applied after 48 hours.
Because Morpheus stimulates natural collagen remodeling, results develop gradually, with firmer, smoother, and more refined skin becoming visible over several weeks and continuing to improve for up to six months.
