RADIOFREQUENCY MICRONEEDLING
Morpheus8 in Myrtle Beach, SC
Firmer, Smoother Skin Without Changing What Makes You Look Like You
Loose skin does not usually appear all at once.
Your jawline may begin to look softer. Fine lines stay visible longer. Acne scars and enlarged pores become harder to cover, and the skin on your face or body may no longer feel as firm as it once did.

IMPROVEMENT WITHOUT SURGERY
THE APPROACH
Morpheus8 at Nouveau Dermé Aesthetic Centre combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to improve skin texture, support collagen production, and address mild skin laxity.
Instead of changing your natural features, treatment is designed to help your skin look smoother, firmer, and more refreshed over time.
Every Morpheus8 treatment plan begins with a consultation. We assess your skin, discuss what is bothering you, and explain what the treatment may realistically accomplish.
THE TREATMENT
What Is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a fractional radiofrequency microneedling treatment for the face and body.
The device uses a matrix of small microneedles to deliver controlled radiofrequency energy beneath the skin’s surface. This creates a targeted healing response that supports the production and remodeling of collagen.
Collagen gives skin much of its firmness and structure. Its production gradually declines with age and can also be affected by sun exposure, lifestyle, and genetics. As collagen decreases, you may begin to notice fine lines, rough texture, enlarged pores, acne scars, crepey skin, or a loss of firmness.
Morpheus8 treats these concerns below the surface, where many topical products cannot reach.
CONCERNS TREATED
What Can Morpheus8 Help Improve?
Morpheus8 may be recommended for patients concerned about:
-
Mild or moderate skin laxity
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Crepey skin
-
Acne scars
-
Enlarged pores
-
Rough or uneven texture
-
Sun-related skin changes
-
Softening along the jawline
-
Uneven skin tone
-
Stretch marks
-
Loose skin on selected body areas
Results depend on your skin condition, treatment area, settings, number of sessions, and natural healing response. Morpheus8 cannot produce the same degree of lifting as surgery, but it may be a good option for patients seeking noticeable improvement without surgical incisions.
FACIAL TREATMENT
Morpheus8 for the Face
Changes in collagen can affect nearly every part of the face.
The cheeks may begin to look less firm. The jawline can lose definition. Fine lines appear around the mouth and eyes, while acne scars and pores become more noticeable under makeup or direct light.
Morpheus8 can be adjusted to treat specific facial concerns while respecting your natural anatomy. Common facial treatment areas include:
-
Forehead
-
Cheeks
-
Around the eyes
-
Around the mouth
-
Chin
-
Jawline
-
Lower face
-
Neck
Treatment around delicate areas requires careful assessment and appropriate device settings. Your provider will determine which areas can be treated safely based on your anatomy, skin condition, and goals.
BODY TREATMENT
Morpheus8 for the Body
Morpheus8 is not limited to facial rejuvenation. It can also be used on selected areas of the body where skin looks loose, crepey, uneven, or textured.
Common body treatment areas include:
-
Abdomen
-
Upper arms
-
Thighs
-
Knees
-
Legs
-
Buttocks
Body treatments may help improve skin texture and firmness, but Morpheus8 is not a weight loss treatment. During your consultation, we will determine whether Morpheus8 or another body treatment is better suited to your concern.
THE TECHNOLOGY
How Does Morpheus8 Work?
Morpheus8 combines two treatment methods in one device.
Method 01
Microneedling
Small needles create controlled microchannels in the skin. These channels trigger the body's natural repair process and support the formation of new collagen.
Method 02
Radiofrequency Energy
Radiofrequency energy is delivered through the microneedles at selected depths. The controlled heat reaches deeper tissue and encourages collagen remodeling.
Combining these two methods allows the treatment to address both surface texture and deeper skin structure. Needle depth and energy settings can be adjusted based on the area being treated and the patient's individual needs.
YOUR VISIT
What Happens During a Morpheus8 Appointment?
Four stages, from the first cleanse to the instructions you take home with you.
Step #1
Cleanse and numb
Your appointment begins with cleansing and preparing the treatment area. A topical numbing product may be applied to help make the procedure more comfortable.
Step #2
The treatment pass
Your provider then passes the Morpheus8 handpiece over the selected area. You may feel pressure, warmth, or a brief prickling sensation as the device delivers energy into the skin.
Step #3
Time in the room
Appointment length varies according to the size and number of areas being treated. Smaller facial areas generally require less time than larger body areas.
Step #4
Before you leave
Before you leave, you will receive instructions for caring for your skin during the first several days of healing.
PLANNING
How Many Morpheus8 Sessions Will I Need?
There is no single treatment schedule that works for every patient.
Some patients may notice improvement after one session, while others benefit from a series of treatments. The recommended number of appointments depends on:
-
Your primary skin concern
-
The severity of laxity or scarring
-
The area being treated
-
Your skin’s healing response
-
Your preferred level of improvement
-
Previous aesthetic treatments
During your consultation, we will create a treatment schedule based on your skin rather than placing you into a standard package.
TIMELINE
When Will I See Morpheus8 Results?
Some patients notice early changes in skin texture within the first few weeks. More meaningful improvement generally develops gradually as collagen remodeling continues.
Skin may continue to change for several months after treatment. Fine lines may appear softer, pores may look less noticeable, and treated skin may feel firmer or smoother.
Results vary between patients. Factors such as age, sun exposure, skincare habits, treatment depth, and the number of sessions can influence the outcome.
Morpheus8 results are gradual. You should still look like yourself, only more rested and refreshed.
RECOVERY
Is There Downtime After Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 requires less recovery than many surgical procedures, but the skin still needs time to heal.
Temporary effects may include:
-
Redness
-
Swelling
-
Sensitivity
-
Dryness
-
Small pinpoint marks
-
Mild crusting or flaking
-
Tenderness in the treated area
These responses are usually most noticeable during the first few days. Healing time varies according to treatment intensity, the area treated, and your skin’s response.
Plan your appointment with enough time before weddings, vacations, professional photographs, or other important events. Your provider can help you choose an appropriate treatment date.
AFTERCARE
Morpheus8 Aftercare
Proper aftercare supports healing and helps protect your results.
Following treatment, you may be instructed to:
-
Keep the area clean
-
Use a gentle moisturizer
-
Avoid picking or exfoliating the skin
-
Pause retinoids, acids, and harsh active products
-
Avoid excessive heat and strenuous exercise temporarily
-
Limit direct sun exposure
-
Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily
-
Follow all instructions provided by your practitioner
At Nouveau Dermé Aesthetic Centre, we apply 2.5 billion Exo-Xoms to the treatment area following Morpheus8. This step is included to support the post-treatment process and help calm visible redness.
Because Myrtle Beach residents receive significant sun exposure throughout the year, daily sunscreen is especially important after treatment. Newly treated skin may be more sensitive to ultraviolet exposure.
