Morpheus8 MAX and Morpheus8 Cool in Brookline, MA

The FDA clears, rather than approves, medical devices like Morpheus8 MAX. In this case, the FDA has cleared InMode’s Morpheus8 MAX RF microneedling technology for dermatologic procedures that require soft tissue coagulation, soft tissue contraction, or hemostasis.

It is commonly used for loose skin on the jawline and neck, fine lines, uneven texture, and the appearance of acne scars and enlarged pores. With the 40-pin Morpheus8 Cool Body handpiece, it is also used for skin laxity on the abdomen, arms, and thighs.

Traditional microneedling creates tiny channels in the surface of the skin. Morpheus8 Cool adds radiofrequency energy delivered through the needles, which heats deeper layers of tissue. Your provider can help you decide which treatment fits your goals.

First, we apply numbing cream. Then, during treatment, the Morpheus8 Cool handpiece cools the skin. Many patients feel warmth and pressure; however, comfort varies from person to person.

Most treatment plans include three to five sessions spaced three to six weeks apart, and some people need only one or two. You will receive a specific plan at your consultation.

Expect redness for about a day and mild swelling that can last one to three weeks. Tiny scabs may appear within a few days and flake off on their own. Most people return to their normal routine quickly, and you can usually wear makeup after 24 to 72 hours, or as your provider advises.

It can improve their appearance. In a 2026 pilot study in Aesthetic Surgery Journal Open Forum, eight women with stretch marks on the abdomen had one session of diluted calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse) followed by three monthly radiofrequency microneedling body treatments. Six months later, their scar scores had improved by about half, and the only side effect was mild redness that faded within two days in two patients. It was a small study without a comparison group, so individual results vary, and your consultation covers what is realistic for your skin. Read the study.

Skin texture often looks smoother within about three weeks. Firming builds gradually over three to six months as new collagen forms. Individual results vary.
