What are RF Microneedling and Morpheus8?
There are so many aesthetic treatments available that it can be confusing which treatment to choose. Selecting the right treatment for you is key to getting the best results. Let’s talk about the two most popular non-surgical skin treatments, RF Microneedling and Morpheus8.

-
Downtime
Focus dual RF Microneedling
- Redness & swelling usually calm down after 2-3 hours.
Morpheus8

Who is suitable for Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 can reach up to 7mm depth where body fat is. Radiofrequency energy can melt the fat layer to reduce the volume. If you are looking for a body-tightening treatment that melts fat at the same time, the Morpheus8 is excellent. The depth of treatment means that deep scars can also be treated. In general, most people don’t want to reduce facial fat as this can make you look tired.
Who is suitable for Focus Dual RF Microneedling?
Focus Dual targets the Dermis layer of the skin, where 80-90% of skin collagen resides. Collagen is produced by cells called Fibroblasts, which are found predominantly in the Dermis layer.
If you are looking for less discomfort and downtime and want to improve facial skin texture to target fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, the Focus Dual RF Microneedling is excellent.
Which is better?
