FaceTite compared to Morpheus 8 (EmbraceRF)?

Question

What are the differences between InMode's new Morpheus 8 and its existing and exception Facetite? What are the indications and treatment parameters of Morephus 8 as compared to facetite? Morpheus 8 reaches the fat layer, but doesn't facetite as well and in what cases/what signs of aging would Morpheus 8 be preferred?

Jason D. Bloom, MD, FACS · Answer

Thanks for your question, as the terminology can get tricky.  Embrace RF by InMode encompasses their FaceTite (percutaneous bipolar RF) treatment followed by the new Morpheus 8 (microneedling RF).  The FaceTite utilizes the same handpiece as before, but the Morpheus 8 is a newer handpiece for the Fractora piece.   This goes deeper into the subdermal/subcutaneous fat (4mm) to help remodel that layer.  The combination of the percutaneous and microneedling RF treatments leads to improved tightening and outcomes.  Hope that helps to clarify a bit.

James Shire, MD · Answer

FaceTite in conjunction with Morpheus8 is referred to as EmbraceRF.  Both use bipolar radiofrequency. The Facetite is a minimally invasive canula that tightens the layer under the skin, melts the subcutaneous fat and contracts the dermal septal bands. The Morpheous8 is micro-needling device that has adjustable depth on penetration to contract the skin at the reticular  dermal level. Morpheus8 will smooth the skin texture...lines, wrinkles, acne scars. FaceTite will tighten and remove fat... improve jowling, sagging lower face and neck.Please consult with an experienced facial plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your excellent question. I know the terminology can get confusing with these devices. FaceTite tightens the deeper structures of the face and is performed by an MD. The Morpheus8 is the improved and updated version of the Fractora which is microneedling with radio frequency. Often times nurses and other team members perform this procedure as it is less invasive. EmbraceRF is what the company calls it when you combine FaceTite and Morpheus8 during the same treatment. The Morpheus8 works great at tightening the skin, improving the tone and texture and decreasing fat from specific areas. I like combining the two procedures. You should have a consultation with a plastic surgeon who does a lot of these procedures and has a good handle as to the depths and settings for maximum results with minimal downtime. Best of luck.

In  my opinion, it is the experience of the operator of the device that is more important than the device itself. Results seen from in office procedures are more reproducible and effective than at -home OTC devices. There are many RF micro-needling devices that can be utilized. The best results are usually seen on the jaw and neck area. Find an expert physician you enjoy working with and don't worry about the individual device. Ask to see photos.

Facetite is internal and Morpheus is external. The internal energy is much higher and can significantly help with lipolysis. Morpheus is then done externally for the final touch up. Usually I do this under IV sedation for patient's comfort.

Thank you for your question. FaceTite is a specific method that treats the lower face and neck to help tighten and remove fat. This helps contour the jawline, joules, turkey neck and general looseness on lower face and neck. It is combined with a liposuction and a minimally invasive procedure requiring minimal downtime. It's a one treatment only procedure. I like recommending both FaceTite and Morpheus8 to patients for a full face rejuvenation. Morpheus 8 is an advanced microneedling treatment with Radio Frequency energy. We can treat the skin at various depths from 0.5 mm to 4 mm depth. Morpheus improves the skin texture, tightness and reduces wrinkles. It's also used for scar treatments. Morpheus can be used anywhere on the body and face. We recommend a series of 3 treatments spaced out 4 weeks apart.

The addition of Morpheus 8 to the Facetite procedure allows for further tightening of the skin envelope. This is known as the Embrace Rf protocol.Regards,

Our practice is pleased to be selected as one of the first to receive Morpheus 8 for patient treatments in Ohio and the Midwest. We specialize in sudermal energy based procedures as part of our aesthetic technology specialization. Energy provided to the area just below the skin (dermis) can tighten the fat and collagen layer located there known as the FibroSeptal Network. Applying energy here can tighten skin more that application to the dermal collagen. Both facetite and Morpheus 8 can work in the FSN but they do so in different approaches. Facetite is inserted through a small incision in the skin only millimetes in size. The device is inserted and the energy is applied until a predetermined energy endpoint is reached. The Morpheus 8 is Fractionated Microneedle RF energy and is applied to the skin with a cartridge of needles. There is no temperature endpoint but there are setttings and depths of needle penetration that correspond to the treatment application. They are intended to work complimenting each other but can be used indepenedently of one another

Timothy A. Janiga, MD, FACS · Answer

They are both made by the same company (InMode) and both use radiofrequency.  Morpheus is the newest of the microneedling devices and uses needles that puncture the skin at variable depths that can be pre-set.  It is effectively a more updated form of Fractora.  I like to combine FaceTite with Morpheus and/or Fractora.  The FaceTite does a great job of tightening the deeper structures on your face and neck and Morpheus does a nice job with skin tightening.  As stand alone options they can both be effective but in combination these modalities really compliment each other.  Take care,Timothy A.
