Skin issues such as wrinkles and sagging become more common as we age. With more people in Singapore investing in anti-ageing treatments, the aesthetic industry is continually developing solutions to meet this demand. Among them is Morpheus8, a non-invasive yet effective skin rejuvenation therapy.
What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a non-invasive treatment to address skin imperfections and visible signs of ageing. It is a radiofrequency (RF) microneedling device that combines two powerful technologies to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and enhance skin firmness.
Morpheus8 works on the deeper layers of your skin, promoting natural healing processes and encouraging the formation of new, youthful collagen to remodel the skin’s underlying structure.
Benefits of Morpheus8 treatment
Morpheus8 offers many benefits, making it appealing for those concerned about ageing skin. Here are the key benefits of the treatment.
Collagen stimulation
Morpheus8 utilises RF energy and microneedling to penetrate the skin's layers, triggering the natural production of collagen. This essential protein maintains skin elasticity and firmness, resulting in a youthful appearance.
Tightening and lifting
The combined action of radiofrequency and microneedling tightens loose or sagging skin, providing a noticeable lift. This dual technology is particularly beneficial for treating areas prone to ageing, such as the face and neck.
Improvement of fine lines and wrinkles
Morpheus8 is highly effective in reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles, smoothing out your skin's surface and restoring a more youthful texture.
Treatment customisation
Morpheus8 treatment can be customised to target specific areas, allowing for a tailored approach to your unique concerns.
Minimal downtime
Unlike other procedures that call for extensive recovery, Morpheus8 requires minimal downtime, which enables a return to normal activities shortly after the treatment.
How does Morpheus8 treatment work?
Morpheus8 combines two technologies—microneedling and RF—to rejuvenate your skin.
- Stimulating healing response: The micro-injuries trigger the production of growth factors, cytokines, and other signalling molecules that initiate the healing process. This response activates fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin.
- Collagen and elastin production: The fibroblasts generate new collagen and elastin fibres as your skin heals. Collagen gives structural support to the skin, while elastin contributes to its elasticity. Increasing these proteins’ production helps improve skin texture, firmness, and resilience.
Mechanism: Morpheus8 treatment incorporates RF energy, which is delivered through the microneedles into the depths of your skin. This results in:
- Heating tissues: The RF energy heats the targeted tissues, creating controlled thermal injury with several benefits.
- Collagen remodelling: The heat stimulates the existing collagen fibres to undergo remodelling and contraction, leading to tighter and firmer skin.
- New collagen: The controlled thermal injury prompts the production of new collagen (neocollagenesis), enhancing long-term skin rejuvenation and improving skin quality.
- Improved blood circulation: RF energy can enhance blood circulation, boosting nutrient and oxygen delivery to the treated areas and further supporting the healing process.
The combination of microneedling and RF in Morpheus8 creates a synergistic effect. The microneedles’ micro-injuries enhance the penetration of RF energy, allowing for a more targeted and efficient delivery of thermal energy into your skin.
Target areas of treatment
- Face: Addressing fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
- Neck: Tightening loose skin and reducing necklines.
- Décolletage: Improving skin texture and tone on the chest.
- Body: Minimising the appearance of stretch marks.
Who is it for?
Morpheus8 treatment is suitable for both men and women who want to reduce the visible signs of skin ageing. It is especially beneficial for individuals looking for non-surgical alternatives to address:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Sagging or lax skin
Uneven skin texture
Stretch marks
Are you a suitable candidate?
While Morpheus8 is a versatile treatment, only some are suitable candidates. Individuals with active infections, a history of keloid scarring, or certain skin conditions may not be eligible.
The effectiveness of Morpheus8 also depends on the patient’s skin type, age, and unique condition. You should consult a qualified practitioner to determine suitability based on your skin type and concerns.
Morpheus8 treatment procedure
Consultation
The process begins with a thorough consultation, during which the practitioner assesses the patient’s skin condition, discusses goals and outlines the expected outcomes.
Topical Anaesthesia
The practitioner applies topical anaesthesia to the treatment area to minimise discomfort during the procedure.
Morpheus8 Treatment
The Morpheus8 device is applied to the target area, delivering controlled RF energy through microneedles. Its penetration depth and intensity are customised based on your needs and concerns.
Cooling and Soothing
A cooling gel or mask may be applied post-treatment to soothe your skin and minimise any temporary redness or swelling.
Recovery
Morpheus8 is known for its minimal downtime. You can get back to your routine within a day or two.
However, it’s common to experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort immediately after the treatment. These side effects typically subside within two to three days.
Results Timeline
Patients may notice skin texture and firmness improvements within a few weeks of the Morpheus8 treatment. However, the full benefits, including enhanced collagen production and remodelling, continue to develop over the following months.
We recommend an initial series of treatments to optimise results, depending on your skin condition and goals.
Risks and side effects
- Redness and swelling: Temporary and expected after the treatment.
- Bruising: Occasional bruising may occur, especially in more sensitive areas.
- Infection: Rare but possible if post-treatment care instructions are not followed.
Choosing a qualified practitioner
Selecting the right practitioner is crucial in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of Morpheus8 treatment. Look for professionals with:
Medical credentials

Frequently Asked Questions
It is common for patients to experience lasting results of one to three years with Morpheus8. However, experiences may vary according to individual factors. After the initial series of treatments spaced four to eight weeks apart, we would advise one treatment per year to prolong the benefits.
While you may experience some discomfort during the procedure, applying topical anaesthesia minimises pain. Most patients find the discomfort tolerable; any post-treatment discomfort is typically short-lived.
If you discontinue Morpheus8 treatments, the natural ageing process will continue. However, the benefits achieved from previous sessions, such as collagen stimulation and skin tightening, may persist for an extended period.
The cost of Morpheus8 treatment in Singapore can vary based on the treatment area, the number of sessions required, and the practitioner’s expertise. It’s advisable to schedule a consultation with Dr Kevin Chua Medical & Aesthetics for personalised pricing.
Morpheus8 is suitable for various ages. While it is often sought by those experiencing signs of ageing, younger individuals may use it as a preventive measure to preserve the youthfulness of their skin.
