How deep does the effect of RF microneedling penetrate to tighten skin on lower face?

Morpheus8 for face contains 24 micropins that can go 1mm-4mm in depth, however the energy penetration can be up to 1mm or more deeper/wider than the tip itself. Morpheus8 for body contains 40 micropins that can go 2mm-7mm in depth, and energy penetration can also be up to 2mm or more deeper/wider than the tip itself. I would recommend consulting with an experienced practitioner regarding details of the treatment settings. Best of luck!

Hi, hope you are well. This is a great question. At The Spiegel Center (in Newton, MA), Morpheus8 is one of our most frequently requested and performed procedures. The depth of penetration is variable and determined/controlled by the provider--different parts of the face and neck are treated at different depths because of varying skin thickness. The normal range is 1-4mm (higher end at the lower face and neck). We very often combine microneedling RF (Morpheus) with bipolar RF (FaceTite), for maximal non-surgical tightening. The FaceTite procedure involves passing a probe under the skin which allows for treatment of the subcutaneous fat and fibroseptal network that underlies the skin. Of the two, FaceTite is a more powerful tool but we normally perform these procedures in tandem. Hope this helps!
Best,Dr. Tower
