What You Can Expect
The Morpheus8 Procedure
What does the procedure entail?
Our Chesterfield Morpheus8 treatment uses microneedles to penetrate the skin’s surface, delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the skin and fat layers. This combination stimulates collagen production, encouraging your skin to heal and rejuvenate naturally.
While the treatment is generally comfortable, a topical anesthetic is applied to ensure minimal discomfort. After the numbing takes effect, the Morpheus8 handpiece is placed on the targeted area to perform the procedure. The most common areas treated include the face, neck, chest, arms, and abdomen.

Recovery
What can I expect during recovery?
Morpheus8 is known for its minimal downtime. After treatment, patients often experience mild redness, swelling, or a slight sandpaper-like texture on the skin, which typically resolves in 1-3 days. Sometimes, bruising may occur. If so, they could last up to 2 weeks but can be easily covered with a good concealer. At-home skincare routines, such as products like Illume Exfo Pads, or Illuminate, can further enhance your results.
While social downtime is minimal, it’s important to avoid direct sun exposure and strenuous activities and follow post-procedure care as directed by your provider. Patients can usually resume normal activities quickly, and many notice improvements shortly after treatment.
Long-term results become apparent as collagen production increases over the weeks following the procedure. For optimal results, a series of 3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended.
