Morpheus8
Mechanism of Action
Morpheus8 is a fractional technology that uses a matrix of thin, gold-coated microneedles to deliver bipolar RF energy to multiple depths in the skin. It’s designed for subdermal tissue remodeling, dermal treatment, and epidermal resurfacing. The device is capable of penetrating up to 4000 microns. It also uses Burst mode RF technology, which deploys RF energy to multiple levels in a single cycle, reducing treatment time and minimizing skin injury.
Features
– Deep subdermal adipose tissue remodeling: It is the first and only FDA-cleared technology for this purpose, reaching 8mm.
– Large surface tip: A matrix of 40 thin gold-coated microneedles.
– Adjustable thermal profile: 7mm + an additional 1mm heat profile.
– Burst mode RF technology: Allows for multi-level treatment depths in a single cycle.
– Customizable: Can be programmed to treat large areas.
Benefits
– Reduces treatment times.
– Minimizes skin injury.
– Increases treatment uniformity.
– Enables customized full body fractional procedures.
– Can be used for subdermal tissue remodeling, dermal treatment and epidermal resurfacing.
Additional Information
The process (steps):
The microneedles penetrate the skin, and then RF energy is delivered at programmed depths. The device can target tissue sequentially at three levels, in millisecond intervals, using its Burst mode RF.
Session duration:
The sources do not specify the exact session duration. The treatment time is reduced by the use of Burst mode RF.
BodyTite
How it works:
BodyTite uses directional RF to achieve three-dimensional tissue remodeling through fat coagulation and volumetric heating. The heat generated by the RF energy causes fat coagulation resulting in radiofrequency assisted lipolysis (RFAL).
