How Much Does Morpheus8 Cost?

Morpheus8 treatment costs $1,825 on average, according to 365 real patient reviews on RealSelf. Prices can range from $500 for a single treatment session on one small area to $4,000 for a series, or a combination treatment.

Sometimes mistakenly called Morpheus laser, this nonsurgical, FDA-cleared treatment actually delivers radiofrequency energy into the skin via microneedling. 

RF microneedling treatments like Morpheus8 by InMode deliver more dramatic skin rejuvenation benefits than microneedling or radiofrequency energy treatments alone because the needles transmit the RF energy deep into the dermis. This triggers new collagen and elastin production and remodels the adipose (fatty) tissue.

This potent combination amplifies results and the potential risks of poor provider technique, so this isn’t a procedure that rewards bargain shopping. 

Read on to learn why some Morpheus8 treatments cost more than others—and whether real patients think it’s worth the money.

Is Morpheus8 worth the money?

Morpheus8 has a 65% from RealSelf reviewers, so while a majority were pleased with their results, not everyone had the outcome they wanted. 

Those who were happy with their investment reported benefits like less noticeable fine lines and wrinkles, less sun damage, faded acne scars, and firmer skin, with minimal downtime. 

Among reviewers on RealSelf who rated the treatment "Not Worth It," some experienced textural problems, hyperpigmentation, burns, scarring, an orange peel skin texture, and other undesirable side effects. Others complained about the pain during the treatment, even with numbing cream. 

Patient expectations (and whether or not you’re a good candidate) play a major role in judging the pay-off of any procedure. If you spend thousands of dollars on a series of Morpheus8 treatments expecting similar results to a surgical facelift, you will be disappointed, even if it did what it claims to do: boost the production of collagen and elastin to improve skin elasticity, tone, and texture, for a more youthful appearance. 

Given the recent celebrity hype surrounding this device, more doctors are speaking out on social media about what Morpheus8 can and can’t realistically deliver.

This nonsurgical treatment can:

• enhance skin quality, thicken crepey skin, and reduce fine lines
• mildly firm skin (even on eyelids) and subtly improve facial contours
• improve textural irregularities, such as large pores
• reduce the appearance of acne scars and hyperpigmentation
• fade stretch marks

Despite how it’s sometimes marketed, Morpheus8 cannot offer dramatic skin tightening or lifting. (In fact, only surgical procedures can do that.) 

If your primary concerns are moderate to severe skin laxity and jowling along the jawline, your results will likely not be worth the price. Ultimately, you may need to take a more invasive approach to meet your goals.

You may also find Morpheus8 prices hard to justify if you want real resurfacing—fresh, smooth, unsullied skin—or hope to undo decades of sun exposure. Such cases typically demand a laser resurfacing treatment, like the CO2.

The treatment is considered suitable for all skin tones and types (even deep complexions), but all RF microneedling results are very dependent on the provider's technique.

An experienced, board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon can help you determine if this is the best treatment option for you, or if you should consider a different one entirely, based on your concerns and budget. Many providers offer free consultations, while others apply the cost of the consultation to your procedure. 

RealSelf Tip: You can enhance and prolong the results of any skin rejuvenation or tightening treatment by incorporating quality skincare, including sunscreen with an SPF of 50+, into your daily routine.

What affects the cost of Morpheus8?

These are the biggest factors that will influence your Morpheus8 price.

1) Your provider's level of expertise. 

This treatment is considered to be safe, but several RealSelf members have complained in their reviews about being left with lasting side effects—burns, grid marks, hyperpigmentation, scarring, and even volume loss.

Remember, the 8 in Morpheus8 refers to its reach: it can penetrate up to 8 millimeters deep into the skin. This sets it apart from more shallow-acting RF microneedling treatments.

To prevent complications and preserve facial fat, the Morpheus8 device should never be tuned to max depths when treating the face. Doctors on RealSelf recommend going only 1-2 millimeters deep on the face to avoid fat atrophy and other potential pitfalls. Greater depths should be reserved for firming and smoothing more resilient body parts, like the thighs, where fat loss is perhaps desirable and scarring less likely.  

An experienced, board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon will charge more for their time and experience, but they will also know best how to adjust the device settings to avoid these risks. Look for one with glowing patient reviews and years of experience performing treatments like this.

If you're determined to find a more affordable provider than a physician, look for a registered nurse with at least a year of experience performing Morpheus8 treatments, working under the direct supervision of a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. They should have a better understanding than the average med spa technician of how to adjust the settings for your skin type and concerns, to deliver your desired results while minimizing risks.

2) Their practice location.

If you live in a major metro area, you already know that you'll likely end up paying a bit more for your treatment, due to higher costs of living. It may be worth taking the time to seek out a qualified provider in an area of town or neighboring suburb where their overhead (and Morpheus8 microneedling costs) won't be quite so high. 

Regardless of your zip code, you could still wind up paying big-city prices, due to the basic laws of supply-and-demand. This relatively new procedure is rising in popularity, but it can still be hard to find. A practice that's the only one offering it near you may be able to charge accordingly.

3) The size and number of treatment areas. 

RF microneedling can address a range of skin concerns, from signs of aging to stretch marks. It's safe to treat areas beyond the face and neck, but larger treatment areas will take more time and inflate your bill. 

If you're interested in treating your entire back, thighs, or another broad area of the body, you can expect your Morpheus8 treatment cost to be higher than if you were treating a portion of the face, like the lower face or jowls.

For example: 

• In Beverly Hills, California, plastic surgeon Dr. Sheila Nazarian lists her Morpheus8 cost per session as $950-$4,000, “dependent on area treated.”
• In Atlanta, Georgia, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Angelina Postoev quotes a range of $900-$1,200 per session, “depending on the size and amount of the areas being treated.”
• In the Philadelphia suburb of Bryn Mawr, facial plastic surgeon Dr. Jason Bloom typically charges a Morpheus8 cost per session of $1,200-$1,500 for a full face treatment and $1,400-$1,700 for the full face plus neck.

4) How many treatment sessions you need. 

An initial series of two to three Morpheus8 treatment sessions is usually recommended for optimal results—but that doesn’t mean you won’t see an improvement in the quality of your skin after just one treatment. 

Much depends on your personal starting point, what you’re trying to achieve, and the device settings your doctor recommends. 

Because many providers charge by the individual session (versus offering a package), you may want to pay for just one round and then wait. Collagen-driven results can take months to see, so try not to judge your outcome too soon. Taking a wait-and-see approach could save you cash in the long run.

On the flipside, you may be able to save money if you pay for a series of treatments in advance. If your doctor is fairly certain your goals can’t be met with a single session, you might consider inquiring about such package deals.

During your consultation, ask your provider to outline a treatment plan to address your concerns. 

5) The complexity of your treatment. 

You can ramp up the skin rejuvenation benefits of Morpheus8 by combining it with treatments like topical PRP (a combo that’s often called a Vampire Facial) or FaceTite skin tightening. 

These procedures can improve your results, but they’ll also inflate your bill. Ask your provider if they offer special combo deals. 

6) Any specials or discounts. 

As we mentioned, many providers offer package pricing if you pay up-front for a series of Morpheus8 treatments.

You may also find seasonal specials on social media or via your provider's marketing emails, so keep an eye out if you're looking for ways to save.

You'll also likely see discounts on RF microneedling treatments like this one on deal sites. Just remember that all microneedling treatments are very technique-dependent. 

If you go this route, carefully research the provider before booking, to ensure that they have the necessary credentials, experience, and track record of glowing patient reviews and photos.
