When you hear the word “bodysculpting” you probably imagine other treatments that use extreme temperatures to reduce body fat in certain areas. Like Emsculpt Neo or CryoSlim. You might be wondering if there are any bodysculpting treatments that can help with loose skin, stretch marks, or cellulite. Fortunately, Morpheus8–commonly used on the face to tighten and firm skin–can also be used on the body. And it’s an effective treatment for all of those concerns. Here’s what you need to know about this tightening and firming treatment, and how it works on the body.

Morpheus8 body: what does it do?

Morpheus8 is a fractional microneedling device that also incorporates radiofrequency heat. The combination of both of these treatments together makes each one more powerful. It also has multiple needle settings based on your desired treatment goals. At shallower, surface-level settings, Morpheus8 works wonders on scarring and skin texture. At deeper settings, it tightens loose skin and can sculpt fat. It’s used on both the face and the body, though it obviously treats slightly different things in each. For the body, Morpheus8 treats the following issues: 

• Stretch marks or other scars
• Cellulite
• Loose skin from pregnancy, weight loss, or aging

You can get Morpheus8 on your arms, abdomen, knees, glutes, and thighs.

How many sessions do you need for Morpheus8 for body?

This treatment is personalized, so your treatment course might not be the same as your friend who got it done, and that’s totally normal. Depending on your treatment goals and unique body, you’ll need between 3 to 6 treatment sessions, spaced out about 4 to 6 weeks apart. 

‍

Does body Morpheus8 hurt?

This might be the only true downside of Morpheus8: the treatment is uncomfortable. Your provider will apply a topical numbing cream to reduce your discomfort, and treatment sessions themselves are very quick, typically lasting about thirty minutes. Sometimes “no pain, no gain” is the truth, but the results are impressive, so it’s worth it.

How to prepare for your Morpheus8 Body treatment session: 

It’s best to follow all your provider’s specific instructions, and here are some general tips: 

• They won’t do a treatment on sunburned skin, so stay out of the sun prior to treatment. 
• Avoid NSAID painkillers leading up to your treatment session, as they can make bruising worse.
• Don’t use any active ingredients on the treatment area, like AHAs, retinol, vitamin C, or any kind of scrub. 
• Don’t apply any lotions or oils to the treatment area on the day of your session.  

‍

Morpheus8 body aftercare and side effects: 

Your skin will be sore and dry and possibly a little pink following your treatment. The most important thing you can do is to avoid sun exposure on the treatment area. Avoid NSAID painkillers before and after your treatment, but acetaminophen or Tylenol is usually ok. 

‍

How long does it take to see results from Morpheus8?

You’ll start seeing improvements about 3-4 weeks after your first treatment session. But your skin will continue to improve for up to three months, and last 1-2 years on average. Afterwards, you may need yearly maintenance sessions to keep up your results. 

‍

Can you get body Morpheus8 when pregnant? 

No. This is because Morpheus8 hasn’t been tested on pregnant women, so we don’t know if there are any adverse effects. For that reason, you’ll need to wait to get Morpheus8 until after pregnancy, just to be on the safe side. 

‍

Have any celebrities used Morpheus8 for body?

One thing about Morpheus8 is for sure: it’s a celebrity favorite. Kim Kardashian is a fan of Morpheus8, having used it on her abs. And Eva Longoria also used Morpheus8 for body after the birth of her son. Other celebrities who have used Morpheus8 in some capacity include January Jones, Jessica Simpson, and Bella Thorne. And those are just the people we know about–in all likelihood there are even more celebs who get Morpheus8.
