Dr. Burnett, a dermatologist in Wellesley, is a sought-after expert in the field of medical, pediatric, and cosmetic dermatology and practices with her team to serve the greater Boston area.
As we age, our skin loses its elasticity due to a decrease in collagen, the cessation of elastin production, and a reduction in hyaluronic acid. At Premier Dermatology, we provide this non-surgical option for patients from Boston, Wellesley, Weston, Newton, and Needham. Our Morpheus8 radiofrequency skin tightening treatment utilizes advanced energy to address skin laxity by rebuilding the underlying collagen structure of your skin, resulting in natural-looking results.
What Is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a skin treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency skin tightening technology. It is one of the most advanced non-surgical skin firming treatments available. Many devices can improve the tone, color, and texture of the skin using radiofrequency, but only Morpheus8 provides a non-surgical option to tighten the skin.
How Does Morpheus8 Work?
Morpheus8 works by penetrating the skin with tiny needles while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy. This dual action stimulates the body’s natural healing process and collagen production, leading to improved skin structure and appearance.
Morpheus8 is clinically proven to increase skin elastin by up to five times and double collagen levels, while enhancing the presence of hyaluronic acid in the skin with just one treatment. It is the first and only microneedling device approved by the FDA for facial and body treatments.

What to Expect During a Morpheus8 Treatment?
During a Morpheus8 treatment, first, the skin is cleansed, and a strong topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area. During the procedure, the Morpheus8 handpiece is passed over your skin. You may feel a mild prickling sensation and warmth. After, you can expect some redness, similar to a sunburn, which typically fades within 24 to 48 hours. Full healing can take up to a week and results can take up to 3 months to fully appreciate.
