WHAT IT IS  Touted by many experts as one of the best technologies to lift and remodel both face and body without surgery, Morpheus8 uses a combination of skin needling (at the deepest layer of the skin) and radio frequency tech to work on the subdermal fibrous network of the skin to create lift, fullness and glow.

THE ISSUES IT TACKLES Morpheus8 on the face can treat issues such as “skin laxity, acne scarring, and sun damage”, says Sanja Maria Murray, founder of Face by SM in Sydney, who offers the tech at her Mosman clinic. On the body, Murray says the treatment is great for skin laxity, crepey skin and working on “the appearance of cellulite”.

THE PROS It’s bespoke. This treatment can be tailored to your needs as well as used on a range of different areas of the body, making it a gamechanger for body tightening. “Settings are customised according to needs, concerns and desired outcomes to target a wide range of skin conditions,” explains Murray, who adds that the tech also works on all skin types.
