Hello and thank you for your question!  If done by a trained professional, Morpheus does not cause scarring and fibrosis.  It does create micro-injury to the skin which, in turn, produces collagen to tighten skin.  It also has the potential for adipose tissue remodeling.  When healing, your skin can get dry and itchy.  It is important to remember not to scratch or pick at it so you do not develop scars.  If you do develop scars, your provider could tell you other treatments they offer to reduce the appearance.  Good luck!

Morpheus 8 radiofrequency microneedling, when performed properly, should not cause any tissue damage.  it is designed specifically for collagen plumping, filling in of defects, skin tightening and muscle contraction.  When you a treatment 4mm or deeper, you can cause intentional fat loss without tiddue damage.  You have to keep in mind proper setting levels based upon the patient and their skin type.
