About Morpheus8

- Best for
- Laxity, acne scars, texture, pores
- Sessions

- Results
- Improve over three months
- Downtime
- Minimal, a few days of redness
Morpheus8 uses fine needles to carry radiofrequency heat into the deeper layers of the skin. The microneedling refines the surface while the heat remodels collagen from below, so one treatment works on texture and firmness together.
Sangini adjusts depth and energy for each area of your face and for your skin type, and uses numbing to keep you comfortable. Morpheus8 suits patients bothered by acne scars, enlarged pores or early laxity who can plan for a few days of pinkness. It is often layered with Sofwave, PRF or medical-grade skin care.
On the body, Morpheus8 Body uses settings suited to larger areas to firm loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy, smooth crepey skin on the arms and above the knees and soften the look of stretch marks. Brenda Torres, BSN, RN, performs many of our body treatments, and Sangini often pairs it with truSculpt.

How it works
Morpheus8 Face
Microneedling plus radiofrequency for deeper collagen remodeling.
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. The fine needles deliver heat beneath the surface to stimulate collagen and elastin deep in the skin, treating both the surface and the deeper layers at once.
- Skin tightening: a more lifted, youthful appearance
- Texture refinement: smoother skin and less visible pores
- Scar reduction: helps soften acne and other scarring
- Wrinkle reduction: fewer fine lines through new collagen
- Tone: a more uniform complexion
Morpheus8 is a non-surgical procedure with minimal downtime, which makes it a popular alternative to more invasive options.

Reviews
In their words
★★★★★
“Now, 6 months later my skin tone, texture, and overall appearance is the best it has ever been in my adult life and that's all thanks to Sangini and her team. Since getting my acne under control I have also done botox and skin resurfacing lasers and have no complaints! She is someone who genuinely cares not only of the aesthetics she achieves but the overall wellbeing of her patients.”
★★★★★
“She recommended Sofwave to help address skin laxity and lift, along with Morpheus 8 to improve texture and firmness, and Laser Genesis to enhance overall tone and glow. Each treatment was thoughtfully explained, and I felt confident and cared for every step of the way.”
★★★★★
“I've been doing laser genesis with Laura and definitely recommend it. My skin looks very glowy and scars have better texture.”
Is Morpheus8 good for acne scars?
It can help soften many types of acne scarring by remodeling collagen beneath the surface. Deeper scars often need a series and sometimes a combined plan.
How many Morpheus8 sessions will I need?
Many patients do a series of two to three, spaced several weeks apart. Your plan depends on your goals and skin.
What time of year suits Morpheus8 in Chicago?
It can be done year round, though many patients like fall and winter, when there is less sun on healing skin.
Can Morpheus8 Body help stretch marks?
It can soften the look of stretch marks by remodeling collagen, though it will not erase them. Older, white stretch marks tend to be more stubborn.
How much is Morpheus8 Face?
Pricing depends on the area and the number of sessions, and we confirm it at consultation. The $150 consultation fee for new consultations is fully credited toward services booked.
