Morpheus8 is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to remodel collagen and tighten skin from the inside out. It has quickly become Kolkata’s most requested aesthetic treatment because it delivers dramatic results for multiple skin concerns—including wrinkles, sagging skin, acne scars, and uneven texture—with minimal downtime. At IMAGE Clinic, we are proud to offer this cutting-edge technology, making us one of the few clinics in Kolkata with access to this advanced treatment.
Unlike traditional treatments that only work on the skin’s surface, Morpheus8 penetrates deep into the skin and fat layers, triggering your body’s natural healing response and stimulating new collagen production. The result? Firmer, smoother, more youthful skin that continues to improve over several months.
In this comprehensive guide, we will explain what makes Morpheus8 unique, how it works, what conditions it treats, and why patients across Kolkata are choosing this treatment for their skin transformation.

What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a US FDA-approved fractional skin treatment that combines two powerful technologies: microneedling and radiofrequency energy. Developed by InMode, a global leader in medical aesthetics, Morpheus8 represents the most advanced form of RF microneedling available today.
How Morpheus8 Works:
The Morpheus8 device uses a matrix of tiny gold-coated microneedles that penetrate the skin to precise depths (up to 4mm). Once the needles are in position, controlled radiofrequency energy is delivered directly into the deeper layers of the skin and underlying fat.
This dual-action approach creates two powerful effects:
Microneedling Effect: The tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries that trigger the skin’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Radiofrequency Effect: The RF energy heats the deeper tissue layers, causing immediate collagen contraction (tightening) and long-term collagen remodelling.
The combination of these technologies makes Morpheus8 significantly more effective than traditional microneedling or RF treatments alone. Learn more about our advanced skin tightening treatments.
What Makes Morpheus8 Different from Other Treatments?
Morpheus8 stands apart from other skin treatments for several reasons:
Deepest Fractional Treatment: Morpheus8 penetrates up to 4mm deep—deeper than any other fractional device. This allows it to remodel tissue at the subdermal level where other treatments cannot reach.
Customisable Depth: The needle depth can be adjusted from 0.5mm to 4mm, allowing our dermatologists to customise treatment for different areas and concerns.
Safe for All Skin Types: Unlike some laser treatments, Morpheus8 is safe for all skin tones, including Indian skin (Fitzpatrick types III-VI), with minimal risk of hyperpigmentation.
Targets Fat and Skin: Morpheus8 can remodel adipose (fat) tissue along with skin, making it effective for areas with mild fat deposits like the jowls and double chin.
Minimal Downtime: Despite its powerful effects, Morpheus8 requires only 1-3 days of social downtime, much less than surgical alternatives.
What Skin Concerns Can Morpheus8 Treat?
Morpheus8 is remarkably versatile and can address a wide range of skin concerns:
Face Concerns:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sagging skin and loss of firmness
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Jowls and jawline definition
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin texture
- Dull, tired-looking skin
Neck and Body Concerns:
- Neck lines and “tech neck” wrinkles
- Double chin and submental fat
- Chest (décolletage) wrinkles
- Loose skin on arms, abdomen, and knees
- Stretch marks
For acne scar treatment specifically, Morpheus8 is particularly effective because it can reach the deep dermal layers where scar tissue forms. Explore our complete acne treatment options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Morpheus8 painful?
With proper topical numbing (applied 30-45 minutes before treatment), most patients experience only mild warmth and pressure during the procedure. Some areas may feel more sensitive than others, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated. Our dermatologists adjust settings to ensure your comfort throughout.
How many Morpheus8 sessions do I need?
Most patients achieve excellent results with 1-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The number of sessions depends on your specific concerns and goals. Mild skin laxity or texture issues may improve with one session, while deeper acne scars or significant sagging may benefit from multiple treatments. Our dermatologist will recommend the optimal treatment plan during consultation.
Is Morpheus8 safe for Indian skin?
Yes, Morpheus8 is one of the safest treatments for Indian skin (Fitzpatrick types III-VI). Unlike some laser treatments that carry a risk of hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones, Morpheus8’s colour-blind technology delivers energy beneath the skin surface, minimising the risk of discolouration. Our dermatologists are experienced in treating Indian skin and adjust protocols accordingly.
What is the downtime after Morpheus8?
Expect 1-3 days of social downtime. Immediately after treatment, your skin will appear red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. Tiny pinpoint marks from the microneedles may be visible for 24-48 hours. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and social activities within 1-2 days, with makeup applied after 24 hours.
Can Morpheus8 be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. Morpheus8 works excellently as part of a comprehensive skin rejuvenation programme. Popular combinations include Morpheus8 with PRP (for enhanced collagen stimulation), HydraFacial (for hydration and glow), or dermal fillers (for volume restoration). Our dermatologists create customised combination protocols to address multiple concerns in fewer sessions.
