Morpheus8 Non-Surgical Skin Tightening & Rejuvenation in Minnesota
Certain areas of your body are particularly susceptible to signs of aging. Your face, jawline, neck, arms, and abdomen often show changes first. One of the main causes is a gradual decline in collagen, the protein responsible for keeping your skin firm, smooth, and elastic. By your 30s, collagen production decreases by about 1% per year, making fine lines, sagging, and wrinkles more likely.
External factors like sun exposure, acne scars, and loss of skin structural integrity can further affect your skin’s appearance. If these concerns have been on your mind, Morpheus8 at Sapphire Advanced Aesthetics offers a minimally invasive, skin rejuvenation treatment that can restore firmness, smoothness, and youthful radiance.
Residents of Minneapolis, Wayzata, and surrounding areas are invited to experience the benefits of Morpheus8 treatments with Dr. Leslie Smith.

What Is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is an advanced RF microneedling device that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and remodel the skin’s structure. Tiny, precise needles create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response. Simultaneously, radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers of the dermis, increasing collagen and elastin production.
The device features adjustable needle lengths ranging from 0.5 mm to 7 mm, allowing it to treat delicate areas like the forehead and more substantial areas such as the abdomen or buttock. Morpheus8 also features Burst mode RF, delivering bipolar energy at multiple depths in a single pass. This advanced technology allows for:
- Shorter treatment times
- Customizable depth and intensity
- Reduced risk of skin injury
- More consistent and uniform results

How the Morpheus8 Treatment Works
Your Morpheus8 session begins with a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort, usually taking about one hour. For deeper treatments, local anesthesia may also be used.
During the procedure:
- The device is moved across the treatment area.
- Microneedles create tiny punctures while delivering radiofrequency energy.
- Needle depth is customized to target superficial, intermediate, or deep dermal layers.
Most patients experience only a mild tingling sensation. Treatment time ranges from 15 to 60 minutes depending on the area.
Recovery & Results
Post-treatment, mild redness, swelling, or itchiness is normal and usually resolves within 1–3 days. Makeup can be applied after 1–2 days, and sun protection (SPF 30+) is recommended for several weeks.
Results timeline:
- Immediately: Slight redness or firmness
- 1–2 weeks: Subtle improvements in texture and tone
- 4–8 weeks: Noticeable skin tightening and smoothing
- 3–6 months: Full collagen remodeling, firmer, more youthful skin
Optimal results typically require three treatments spaced six to eight weeks apart. Touch-ups or maintenance sessions can be scheduled annually.

Morpheus8 FAQs
What Does Morpheus8 Do?
Morpheus8 is a skin rejuvenating treatment that can rid the body of a wide array of cosmetic concerns. These cosmetic concerns include wrinkles, sagging skin, acne scars, and stretch marks.
How much does Morpheus8 cost?
Pricing varies depending on the treatment area and the number of sessions needed. During your consultation, Dr. Smith will provide a personalized plan tailored to your goals and budget.
What Areas Can Morpheus8 Be Used to Treat?
Morpheus8 is a rejuvenating skin device commonly used to treat cosmetic concerns of the face, jaw, and neck. However, the treatment can be performed on many parts of the body. Morpheus8 is exceptional for treating such cosmetic concerns as stretch marks on the abdomen and thighs, wrinkling on the knees and acne scars on the shoulders.
How Long Does a Morpheus8 Treatment Last?
The length of time a Morpheus8 treatment takes depends on the treatment site’s size and how many areas are being treated. Typically, a treatment session lasts for approximately 15 minutes to one hour. However, patients should keep in mind that an additional hour will be required to let the numbing agent that’s utilized pre-treatment take effect.
Is Morpheus8 Comfortable?
Morpheus8 is a relatively comfortable treatment that causes minimal pain. At most, because of the numbing agent utilized, patients who undergo a Morpheus8 treatment will experience a slight tingling sensation. In some cases, if patients need more work and need to have deeper levels of their skin tissue worked on, a local anesthetic may be utilized to help further mitigate discomfort.
Are There Side Effects of Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a safe treatment that poses minimal side effects. Commonly, patients experience bruising, redness, and swelling of the treatment site that goes away after one to three days. Bleeding is also a common occurrence because of the microneedles, but bleeding is minimal and should not cause worry. Having your Morpheus8 treatment performed under the guidance of an experienced professional will limit your risk for more serious side effects.
Will Morpheus8 Leave Scars?
Morpheus8 is a minimally-invasive treatment that does not leave scars. However, pinprick marks from the microneedles may be noticeable, but these will fade away after approximately two weeks.
Are Morpheus8 Results Permanent?
Morpheus8 results are not permanent. Results tend to last approximately one year. As time goes on, your rate for collagen production will continue to decline. However, Morpheus8 can be performed annually to maintain your results and increase your rate of collagen production.
Can Morpheus8 Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Morpheus8 can be combined with other treatments to help further results. The treatment is often combined with neuromodulators and dermal fillers. Neuromodulators are utilized to help stop the formation of wrinkles on the face, while dermal fillers add volume where volume loss is noticeable while simultaneously correcting wrinkles and sagging skin. However, these treatments should be performed either before or one to two weeks after a Morpheus8 treatment.
What Is the Difference Between Morpheus8 and BodyTite?
Morpheus8 and BodyTite are aesthetic technologies developed by InMode. The two technologies vary vastly for what they are designed to treat. Morpheus8 is a skin rejuvenating treatment, while BodyTite is specifically meant for skin tightening. Patients with fat deposits that will not go away through diet and exercise alone will greatly benefit from BodyTite. The device essentially breaks down unwanted fat cells and tightens the skin to contour to the body’s new shape without the removed fat cells. BodyTite can be successfully performed on various parts of the body, including the arms, abdomen, hips, thighs and knees.
Morpheus8 and BodyTite can be performed in conjunction to create comprehensive results. Patients struggling with various aspects of their appearance, such as troubling fat deposits and wrinkles, are encouraged to inquire about what combining these two treatments can do for them.
