Morpheus8 in Oklahoma City
the gold standard in radiofrequency microneedling
In 2022, McKinzie Aesthetics Center was named the #1 Morpheus8 Provider in the state of Oklahoma.
This advanced microneedling treatment was developed to stimulate remodeling in the adipose tissue of the dermis. Designed by In Mode Aesthetics, a leading manufacturer in the radiofrequency technology arena, Morpheus8 is the only device that combines radiofrequency with the microneedling technique. On its own, microneedling provokes a healing response in which collagen proliferation increases. With Morpheus8, collagen increase is only the icing on the cake. By inserting radiofrequency energy into tissue up to approximately 7mm deep, this device prompts tissue remodeling that includes thickening and tightening.

How does Morpheus8 work?
At the MAC, our award-winning team performs Morpheus8 treatments using a local anesthetic to decrease the sensation of both the microneedles and radiofrequency energy penetration. If this is inadequate for pain control we offer nitrous oxide (ProNox). After the topical numbing cream has desensitized the skin, we begin treatment using a small handheld applicator. The tip of the applicator has several tiny needles that are powered with radiofrequency via the device platform.
Your treating clinician places the applicator against the skin for a few seconds while energy is inserted through the needles. The applicator is then removed from the surface and placed onto the adjacent area. The motion is somewhat like a stamping technique rather than moving the applicator across the skin.
What does Morpheus8 treat?
Morpheus8 is an excellent solution for facial rejuvenation because it can achieve multiple corrections simultaneously. Treatment is most commonly performed on the lower face and neck areas. However, Morpheus8 can improve any area in which subdermal adipose remodeling is needed, such as the abdomen, back of arms, and inner and outer thigh.
Some of the concerns we address with this radiofrequency technique include:
Fat accumulation beneath the chin
Mild softening and jowling at the jawline
Sun damage
Acne scarring and other scarring
Stretch marks
Poor skin texture
Enlarged pores
Deep lines and creases

How Does Morpheus8 Compare To Other Microneedling Treatments?
Morpheus8 is unlike any microneedling treatment we’ve seen. In a standard microneedling treatment, a small needle-clad applicator is moved across the skin. Microneedles may be automated to move vertically to “stamp” the skin as the handpiece passes over the epidermis. The needles on the applicator reach a depth of approximately 2mm. After microneedling, a technician may apply a nourishing serum such as a vitamin concoction to address a particular concern.
Morpheus8 is immediately different because its needles reach a depth of 4mm. This alone is significant because change is stimulated within the skin’s foundational structure. Additional benefits stem from the inclusion of radiofrequency, the energy that gently heats subdermal adipose tissue for more profound tightening and toning.
How Many Morpheus8 Treatments Are Needed?
Morpheus8 begins to stimulate change immediately after the first treatment. Depending on the extent of improvement a patient desires, a series of 2 to 4 treatments may be considered. It is our intent to recommend only what a patient needs to reach their desired outcome. We conduct a thorough consultation and skin assessment to fully understand each person’s needs.
What is recovery like after a Morpheus8 treatment?
Microneedling with Morpheus8 goes above and beyond to stimulate collagen and elastin production, and remodel deep adipose tissue. The skin may be slightly sensitive for a few days. Generally, patients are encouraged to refrain from wearing makeup for 1 to 2 days. Slight swelling may also occur. These side effects are typically mild and they diminish quickly.
Is Morpheus8 painful?
We do our best to make every treatment comfortable. Morpheus8 may feel slightly uncomfortable in certain areas. However, our use of topical numbing cream makes treatment much more pleasant than many patients expect.
Am I a good candidate for Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is an ideal treatment for patients who want to improve the appearance of:
• Excess fat in the face and neck
• Mild sagging and jowling in the face and neck
• Uneven or rough skin texture
• Acne scarring and other scars on the face or body
• Deep lines and creases
• Sun damage
• Enlarged Pores
• Stretch Marks
