Morpheus8 in Frankfurt

Fine microneedles deliver radiofrequency energy deep into the skin, where they create a controlled stimulus for connective tissue remodelling – skin tightening without surgery, with medical advice and close supervision.

The principle

Morpheus8 by the manufacturer InMode combines two established procedures: fine microneedling and fractional radiofrequency. The energy is delivered through microneedles at a pre-set depth, where it creates a controlled stimulus to which the skin responds with new collagen formation and remodelling of the connective tissue. This process runs over weeks to months – the result develops gradually and varies from person to person.

Morpheus8 is among the most sought-after non-surgical skin-tightening procedures in Frankfurt. With us it is medically indicated and supervised – from the consultation through the choice of needle depth and energy to the follow-up check.

What Morpheus8 is used for

  • A slackened jawline and neck – the aim is a more clearly defined contour
  • Fine lines and wrinkles, decreasing skin density
  • Acne scars and other depressed scars
  • Enlarged pores and uneven skin texture
  • The area under the chin (submental)
  • Selected areas of the body such as the abdomen, upper arms or knees

Medical advice and supervision

You are advised by a doctor from our practice: he establishes the indication, explains risks, contraindications and alternatives, and sets out the treatment plan. Treatment takes place on the practice premises at Grüneburgweg; settings, progress and aftercare are coordinated closely with the doctor. The treatment is carried out in line with the requirements of the German Ordinance on Protection against Non-Ionising Radiation (NiSV).

How it works

Before the treatment, an anaesthetic cream is applied and the skin is cleansed and disinfected. The treatment itself takes 60 to 90 minutes depending on the area. Afterwards the skin is red and slightly swollen for one to three days; small crusts may appear. Cooling, soothing skincare and consistent sun protection support healing.

Limits and risks

Morpheus8 is not a substitute for a surgical lift. Possible side effects are redness, swelling and small crusts. The treatment is not suitable for people with a pacemaker or metal implants in the treatment area, or during pregnancy, among other contraindications. We will explain everything else to you in person.

Frequently asked questions

Who advises on Morpheus8 treatment?
You are advised by a doctor at Hautmedizin Westend. He establishes the indication, explains risks and alternatives, and sets out the treatment plan; progress and settings are coordinated closely with the doctors.
How many sessions are usual?
Usually one to three sessions at intervals of four to six weeks. The appropriate number depends on the findings and is agreed during the consultation.
When do results become visible?
Connective tissue remodelling takes time: changes usually become apparent over several weeks to months. No particular result can be promised.
Is the treatment painful?
An anaesthetic cream is applied before the treatment. Most people therefore find the treatment easy to tolerate.
How much downtime should I plan for?
Usually one to three days with redness and slight swelling – considerably less than after fractional CO2 laser treatment, for example.
Does Morpheus8 help with a double chin and the jawline?
Yes – it is one of the most common indications. The radiofrequency heat in the deeper layers reduces the fat pad under the chin and tightens lax skin along the jawline; as a rule three sessions four to six weeks apart are needed.
Morpheus8 or laser – what is the difference?
A laser works with light from the surface, Morpheus8 delivers energy through fine needles directly into the depth. The skin surface stays largely intact, downtime is shorter and the procedure also suits darker skin types as well as the neck and décolleté.
