Morpheus
A totally non-surgical procedure, the M8 hand piece uses both radiofrequency and micro-needling for skin remodeling. No downtime is associated, safe on any skin type and can be used on patients that just took sun the same day! To sum it up, M8 is targeting subdermal layers of skin and tissue to both remodel and stimulate collagen production with no downtime and a light sunburn feeling for an hour or two. Depending on how aggressive the treatment is, a patient may have some faint bruising and/or redness for 48-72 hours

Microneedling
Unfortunately, M8 can get lumped in the “microneedling” category, when in reality it is so much more. Traditional microneedling involves no energy usage, fat destruction, or remodeling whatsoever. It is used to improve the texture and appearance of the skin, but also comes with redness and downtime for 2-3 days·
ProfoundRF
An effective RF Microneedling treatment from Candela. Profound cannot penetrate as deeply as M8, and while the results are also good, there is SIGNIFICANT pain and downtime associated with this treatment. If anyone asks for a reason why they should choose M8 over Profound, just show them a short treatment video from social media using Profound. That will be the end of that discussion!
Other RF Microneedling Devices
As device companies rush to capitalize on the boom that M8 has created, new competitors will pop up. Some recent ones such as AgnesRF involve single needle protocols which ostensibly do the same thing as M8, but due to that limitation they are extremely tedious, painful, and time consuming for the patient. As new devices emerge, reach out to your Sales Rep and Account Manager to discuss and prepare to field these inquiries.
