Morpheus8
As natural collagen synthesis slows with age, skin loses its underlying elasticity, leading to subtle sagging and rougher surface texture. While surface creams treat the outermost layer of skin, structural skin laxity originates much deeper in the dermal and sub-dermal layers.
At On The Glow Medspa & Aesthetics in Porter Ranch, Morpheus8 by InMode delivers deep fractional remodeling. By combining gold-coated micro-pins with radiofrequency (RF) thermal energy, Morpheus8 stimulates collagen production and contracts connective tissue at depths up to 8mm, restoring firmness and definition from within.
Tightens loose skin, smooths deep wrinkles, and improves acne scars
Moderate. Grid-like redness, slight pinpoint swelling, and light flaking typically resolve within 3 to 7 days.
Visits take approximately 60 to 90 minutes, including 30 to 45 minutes of topical numbing.
Long-lasting structural remodeling, with optimal results maintained through annual touch-up treatments.
Morpheus8 is like "shrink-wrapping" for your skin. It is one of the most powerful non-surgical treatments available for tightening loose skin and improving laxity and texture. It combines two proven technologies: microneedling (which creates tiny channels to trigger healing) and Radiofrequency (RF) energy (which uses heat to tighten).
While traditional microneedling just treats the surface, Morpheus8 goes deep into the sub-layers of the skin to remodel the foundation, tightening the fibers that hold your skin up.
The heat generated by the RF energy triggers immediate connective tissue contraction and initiates a robust wound-healing cascade. This process stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin fibers while remodeling underlying fat tissue. The system uses customizable depth and energy settings, allowing practitioners to treat delicate skin around the eyes as well as thicker tissue along the lower face and body.
Imagine a grid of tiny, gold-plated pins. These pins penetrate the skin to a precise depth (up to 4mm on the face, 8mm on the body). Once they are deep in the tissue, they emit a pulse of Radiofrequency heat.
This heat does three things:
Numbing
We apply a very strong numbing cream for 45-60 minutes to ensure you are comfortable.
Treatment
The device is stamped over the skin. You will feel pressure and a warm prickling sensation.
Post-Treatment
You will look red (like a sunburn) and feel warm for 1-3 days. This is normal!
Remodeling
Your skin tightens over the next 3 months as new collagen builds.

Morpheus8 offers a unique blend of microneedling and radiofrequency energy to rejuvenate your skin. This innovative treatment can improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance collagen production for a firmer appearance. It's suitable for various skin types and tones, providing noticeable results with minimal downtime.
Many patients find it effective for targeting areas such as the face, neck, and body, helping address concerns like wrinkles, acne scars, and sagging skin.
The procedure is non-surgical, making it a popular choice for those seeking subtle yet impactful enhancements without the lengthy recovery associated with more invasive options.
Morpheus8 is suitable for healthy adult men and women exhibiting mild to moderate skin laxity, deep wrinkles, jawline softening, or persistent acne scarring. It is a well-tolerated treatment for all skin types (Fitzpatrick I–VI).
Morpheus8 is not recommended for individuals with active skin infections or breakouts in the treatment zone, cardiac pacemakers or electronic implants, active metal implants near the treatment area, or women who are pregnant or nursing. A comprehensive consultation is conducted at On The Glow prior to treatment to confirm safety.
Morpheus8 involves a short recovery period as the skin undergoes tissue remodeling. Immediately post-treatment, the skin appears red and mildly swollen, similar to a moderate sunburn. Tiny, grid-like micro-lesions may become visible over the first 24 to 48 hours.
Most superficial redness and swelling subside within 3 to 5 days, while light skin flaking or grid texture resolves within 7 days.
To ensure safe healing, patients should observe these instructions:
Initial tissue tightness and refined surface texture can often be felt within the first 2 to 3 weeks post-treatment as superficial swelling clears and initial collagen contraction occurs.
The most noticeable structural improvements—such as jawline definition, smoothing of deep lines, and improved skin firmness—develop gradually over 3 to 6 months as new collagen and elastin fibers mature within the dermis. A protocol of 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is generally recommended for optimal correction, with results lasting 12 to 18 months before an annual maintenance treatment is needed.
Delivering effective RF microneedling requires a detailed understanding of facial anatomy and precise energy settings. At On The Glow Medspa & Aesthetics, our physician-led team calibrates needle depth and energy density to ensure safe, effective treatment tailored to your specific tissue thickness.
Serving patients in Porter Ranch, Granada Hills, Northridge, Chatsworth, and across the San Fernando Valley, our practice focuses on patient safety, pain management protocols, and clear post-procedure support to achieve consistent tightening.
Traditional microneedling creates mechanical channels in the superficial dermis to stimulate collagen production at the surface. Morpheus8 adds radiofrequency thermal energy delivered at deeper levels (up to 4mm) to contract tissue and remodel subdermal fat for greater structural tightening.
Comfort is managed through a prescription-strength topical numbing gel applied for 30 to 45 minutes prior to treatment. Patients generally feel a stamping pressure and a localized heat sensation during energy delivery.
Most patients achieve optimal results through a series of 3 treatment sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Mild laxity or texture concerns may require fewer visits.
Morpheus8 can target and remodel small areas of unwanted fat (such as jowls or submental fullness) when higher thermal energy and deeper needle depths are selected. In areas where volume retention is desired (such as the upper cheeks), shallow depths are used to stimulate collagen without affecting the fat pads.
Patients should wait at least 24 to 48 hours before applying makeup to allow the micro-channels to close safely and reduce the risk of infection or irritation.
Treatment cost varies based on the size of the treatment area (e.g., lower face and neck vs. full face and body) and whether a multi-session package is selected. Complete pricing details are reviewed transparently during the initial consultation, with 20% off available for new clients.
