Morpheus8 Skin treatments at CSLC

After some powerful numbing cream and little laughing gas, tiny gold-plated needles penetrate the skin and create micro-injuries, while radiofrequency energy is simultaneously released. The body responds to these injuries by naturally healing the area and flooding it with collagen and new skin cells. New collagen makes the skin stronger and firmer at the foundational level, and new skin cells give a fresh new glow to treated areas.

It might be. But the best treatment is the one that’s right for your skin, goals, and lifestyle.

Morpheus8 is one of the most advanced non-surgical options available today for tightening skin, improving texture, and contouring the face and body. It combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen at a deeper level than traditional microneedling or superficial RF devices.

That said, it’s not the only effective treatment we offer.

At CSLC, our expert providers may also recommend:

• Laser Resurfacing (like HALO or CO2) for deeper wrinkles, sun damage, or pigment correction

• SkinPen® Microneedling for more surface-level texture and glow

• Moxi™ Laser for gentle brightening with no downtime

• Medical-Grade Facials like our CSLC Signature Hydrafacial for hydration and maintenance

• Injectables (like Sculptra or PRF) to restore volume and elasticity from within

Some patients benefit from a combination of treatments—like microneedling with PRF, Morpheus8 followed by laser, or RF plus fillers.

No - Morpheus8 and traditional microneedling are not the same, though they share some similarities.

Microneedling is a proven skin treatment that uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and improving texture. It’s a great option for mild skin concerns like dullness, fine lines, or early signs of aging.

Morpheus8 takes things a step further.

It uses microneedling plus radiofrequency (RF) energy, delivered deeper into the skin. This added RF component heats the tissue beneath the surface, tightening skin, remodeling fat, and improving tone and firmness in a way standard microneedling can’t match.

If you’re looking for more dramatic results—like firmer skin, redefined jawlines, or reduced laxity. Morpheus8 is often the more advanced choice.

Not sure which is right for you?

We’ll help you decide during your consultation based on your skin goals, comfort level, and downtime preference.

We've had excellent success with Morpheus helping active acne.

It can help reduce active acne, especially in patients with inflammatory breakouts or overactive oil glands.

The treatment delivers controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy deep into the skin, targeting the sebaceous (oil-producing) glands and calming inflammation. This can lead to:

• Fewer breakouts over time

• Reduced oil production

• Improvement in skin texture, including post-acne scarring

That said, Morpheus8 isn’t a first-line treatment for everyone with acne.

It works best for patients with mild to moderate inflammatory acne, or those who want to treat both acne and early signs of aging or scarring at the same time.

If you’re struggling with breakouts, we’ll assess your skin during your consultation and help you decide if Morpheus8 or another treatment like VIPeels, prescription topicals, or skin care is right for you.

Although the skin is pink and some pricks may be visible, clients rarely consider this “downtime.” You can return to work or go about your normal daily activities. The skin just must stay moist with an application of good sunscreen for 7-10 days when you’re exposed to the sun.
