Morpheus8 RF Microneedling
When skin starts to feel less firm, less clear, or less defined, you don’t always need surgery to see real change. Morpheus8 is a next-generation RF microneedling treatment that remodels deeper layers of skin to improve tone, texture, and contour—all with minimal downtime. It combines microneedling with radiofrequency to revive and refresh aging skin. We offer this minimally invasive skin treatment to men and women in New Orleans and Metairie, LA, who want to improve their skin’s texture, reduce hyperpigmentation, and address the effects of sun damage.
At the MODERN, our aesthetic specialists use Morpheus8 to help patients achieve firmer, clearer skin on the face, jawline, neck, and body. Whether you're looking to reduce wrinkles, smooth acne scars, or enhance your skin’s all-over radiance, Morpheus8 offers a refined and modern solution that seamlessly integrates into your aesthetic routine.
Morpheus8 is a nonsurgical skin rejuvenation procedure that advances microneedling by pairing it with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This approach enables us to target more advanced aging and reach deeper into the skin and fat for enhanced rejuvenation in the cheeks, jawline, abdomen, and other areas.
Morpheus8 is a hybrid treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. As tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin, RF heat penetrates the deeper layers to stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and tissue remodeling. This powerful combination treats both the surface and structural integrity of the skin—improving firmness, clarity, and contour from within.
At the MODERN, we customize the needle depth and energy level to match your skin type, condition, and aesthetic goals. The result is smoother, more refined skin that still looks like you—just refreshed.
The Morpheus8 device targets, pierces, and heats the superficial and subdermal skin layers, triggering the body’s natural healing response. As collagen production spurs skin repair, radiofrequency energy also remodels the fat underneath the skin to improve overall skin quality and achieve a firmer, lifted look.
A typical Morpheus8 session takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. After applying a topical numbing cream, your aesthetic specialist guides the Morpheus8 handpiece across your skin. You’ll feel some heat and pressure, but most patients find it very tolerable.
After treatment, the skin may appear red or slightly swollen— similar to a mild sunburn. These effects usually fade within 48–72 hours. We’ll provide specific aftercare guidelines to support healing and optimize your results. For most patients, a series of 2–3 sessions spaced one month apart delivers the best outcomes, with maintenance once or twice a year.
Unlike traditional microneedling, Morpheus8 leverages the benefits of radiofrequency energy and fractional skin resurfacing. We can adjust the needle depth and range, customizing the treatment to meet the patient’s specific needs and areas of concern. Morpheus8 technology allows us to go deeper than traditional microneedling to achieve optimal skin remodeling and repair.
Morpheus8 is ideal for a variety of concerns across the face and body, including:
Morpheus8 is safe and effective for the face, neck, jawline, chest, arms, abdomen, thighs, and more. It's particularly helpful in areas where skin is thinning or beginning to sag.

Expect 1–3 days of redness and mild sensitivity after your session. Some patients may experience slight dryness or flaking of the skin. Makeup can typically be worn for up to 48 hours, and most people return to their routines the day after application.
Sun protection is essential for the first few weeks, and we'll guide you through every detail of aftercare to protect your results.
Improvements in texture and tone can often be seen within one to two weeks, with continued firming and collagen production over the next three months. Results typically last up to a year or longer with proper maintenance.
Whether used on its own or as part of a larger treatment plan, Morpheus8 delivers a refreshed look that feels smooth, lifted, and unmistakably natural.
At the MODERN, we believe that non-surgical treatments should be just as tailored and precise as surgical procedures. Our aesthetic specialists receive advanced training in energy-based devices and operate under the refined aesthetic philosophy of Dr. Jules Walters.

The number of treatments you require depends on your treatment area and goals. Most patients need at least 3 treatments spaced 1 month apart—your skin will need time to heal and rejuvenate between sessions. You can expect gradual improvements after about a month and achieve full results roughly 3 months following treatment.
After your Morpheus8 treatment, plan for 1 to 3 days of downtime as redness, itchiness, and swelling resolve. You may also experience some scabbing or crusting for several more days. During this initial healing phase, it’s critical that you avoid sun exposure, use gentle cleansers and moisturizers, and refrain from peeling or picking at the treated areas.
The results of your Morpheus8 treatment can last as long as a year or more if you take good care of your skin, use high-quality skincare products, and regularly apply sunscreen. Patients can also preserve their results by scheduling maintenance treatments to help sustain collagen production and further rejuvenate and restore the skin.
With topical numbing, most patients find it very tolerable. Some areas may feel more sensitive, but the treatment is quick and controlled.
You may see an improvement in skin texture within days, but collagen takes time to rebuild. Expect peak results at 3–6 months.
No—but it can delay the need for surgical lifting or enhance results after surgery. It’s excellent for early signs of aging.
Minimal. Most patients return to normal activity in 1–2 days. Redness and dryness fade quickly with proper care.
