Morpheus 8™ in Vienna: skin tightening and rejuvenation without surgery with Dr. Peter Herndlhofer

With the innovative Morpheus 8™ treatment, we offer a revolutionary method at our institute in Vienna to visibly reduce wrinkles, scars and sagging skin without surgical intervention.

Unlike cosmetic studios, which are only allowed to treat the surface (up to 0.9 mm), as a medically run institute we can work with depths of up to 7 mm – where the skin structure is really affected and real tightening and collagen regeneration is possible.

  • What is Morpheus 8™? A medical combination of radiofrequency therapy and microneedling for skin tightening and rejuvenation, developed on the basis of sound research and recommended by experts worldwide

  • What does Morpheus 8™ really do? It has been proven to tighten and rejuvenate the skin through targeted collagen and elastin stimulation in the deeper layers of the skin. The Morpheus 8™ treatment reduces wrinkles, improves scars and tightens sagging skin with scientifically proven results.

  • What does Morpheus 8™ cost? Costs start at €440 for partial areas such as the eye region or jawline, with 2-3 treatments recommended at 3-6 week intervals for optimal results.

  • How long do the results last? The visible improvements after a Morpheus 8™ treatment at GoAesthetic usually last 1-2 years, with the first results becoming visible after 3-6 weeks.

Morpheus 8™ at GoAesthetic in Vienna:
The effective treatment for natural skin rejuvenation

The Morpheus 8™ treatment combines microneedling and radiofrequency therapy to effectively stimulate the skin’s collagen and elastin production. The result: smoother skin and firmer facial areas.

The Morpheus 8™ can be used on both the face and the body. And briefly, Morpheus 8™ is the name of the medical device that should only be used by doctors for skin treatment and skin tightening.

Deep medical effect instead of superficial treatment

Using the finest gold needles, the Morpheus 8™ sends targeted heat energy deep into the skin layers to regenerate them. This is more effective than superficial radiofrequency technology alone. At our institute, we can set the Morpheus 8™ microneedles to depths of between 0.5 mm and 7 mm, allowing for customized treatment.

Compared to Morpheus 8™, conventional microneedling can reach a maximum depth of 1 mm and medical needling a maximum of 3.0 mm. In contrast to our medically run institute, conventional beauty salons are only allowed to work to a depth of 0.9 mm using Morpheus 8™, a difference in quality that is clearly reflected in the treatment results.

What results does the Morpheus 8™ treatment deliver?

The result of the treatment is visible skin tightening and radiant, youthful skin by reducing fine lines such as neck wrinkles and even improving the appearance of old scars thanks to the deep-acting microneedles. This is because the Morpheus 8™ treatment is a minimally invasive method of skin rejuvenation and tightening that is suitable for all skin types and can be customized to achieve long-lasting results. The ideal time for a first treatment is certainly from your mid-30s or early 40s.

Why radio frequency?

The heat energy emitted by the radio frequency stimulates natural cell renewal and leads to immediate tightening. In the long term, deep-lying collagen fibers are rebuilt.

Award Winner Morpheus 8

“Morpheus 8™ often achieves the best results in skin tightening in 40 to 70-year-olds, which is why the applicator developed by InMode was awarded the prize for the best minimally invasive medical device in 2020.” – Dr. Peter Herndlhofer.

How does the radiofrequency needling
treatment with Morpheus 8™ work?

Think of a symbiosis of microneedles and radiofrequency. Sounds futuristic? No, is medical! And here is a little insight into the two-stage process:

The Morpheus 8™ treatment procedure:

  1. Precise microneedling: During the treatment, the finest, gold-plated microneedles penetrate the skin in a controlled manner. These microscopic channels then create an effective healing stimulus and prepare the skin for the radiofrequency energy.
  2. Targeted radio frequency: While microneedling is taking place, radio frequency energy is simultaneously released into the deeper layers of the skin. This heats the tissue to over 60 degrees Celsius, stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin.

The biological rejuvenation process

The combination of these two technologies leads to a threefold effect:

  • Immediate activation of skin renewal through heating and micro-injuries
  • Medium-term regeneration due to increased blood circulation and cell activity
  • Long-term rejuvenation and skin tightening thanks to the sustained increase in collagen and elastin production

Why are both important? Both collagen and elastin are the architects of your skin, as they keep it firm, elastic and youthful. Unfortunately, their production decreases over time. And that’s where Morpheus 8™ comes in. Because by stimulating both proteins, the skin can be revitalized and scars reduced.

For which areas of the body is Morpheus 8™ suitable?

Treatment with Morpheus 8™ is ideal for body areas such as the face, neck or décolleté. But treatments on the body also tighten sagging skin and can easily reduce small pockets of fat. The most common areas of application certainly include sagging cheeks and drooping eyebrows (drooping eyelids).

The innovative Morpheus 8™ technology is versatile:

  • Face and head area:
    • Forehead wrinkles
    • Eyebrow area (drooping eyelids) and crow’s feet
    • Cheeks and nasolabial folds
    • Mouth area and chin line (sagging cheeks)
    • Double chin and jawline
  • Neck and décolleté:
    • Neck folds (“turkey neck”)
    • Décolleté area
  • Body:
    • Tummy and waist
    • Upper arms (“bat sleeves”)
    • Thighs (riding breeches)
    • Abdominal wall after pregnancy or severe weight loss

Morpheus 8™ is particularly effective for sagging skin, uneven skin texture and wrinkles on the face. And the comprehensive treatment options make Morpheus 8™ a versatile solution for a wide range of skin needs – from targeted facial treatments to extensive body firming.

What distinguishes treatment with Morpheus 8™
from other skin rejuvenation procedures?

Treatment with Morpheus 8™ is a minimally invasive, popular method of skin rejuvenation and differs from other methods as follows:

  1. Dual technology: While many aesthetic, non-invasive methods rely on just one technology (e.g. laser, microneedling, ultrasound), Morpheus 8™ combines radio frequency with microneedling. One treatment, but double effect.
  2. Precision: Other treatments can be superficial – keyword: medical peeling. In contrast, treatment with Morpheus 8™ precisely targets deeper layers of the skin, enabling effective results.
    Attention: Make sure you consult a specialized doctor, as cosmetic studios only work with the Morpheus 8™ up to 0.9 mm. Even though there are similar hand applicators on the market, at our institute in Vienna we only use the Morpheus 8™ from InMode, which has medical approval and is FDA-cleared.
  3. Natural results: No artificial look, no surgeries. For all those who say “no” to Botox, hyaluronic acid or thread lifts, there is no way around Morpheus 8™. More definition in the chin line area without having to inject the jawline – this is also possible with Morpheus 8™.

One thing should be clear: it’s not just about looking younger, but feeling comfortable in your own skin and remaining authentic. Because rejuvenating your face by 20 years is unrealistic. So maintain your naturalness and turn back the age clock by a few years with Morpheus 8™ – try it out!

Radiofrequency Needling with Morpheus8: Before and After Pictures

Pictures say more than 1000 words: You will notice the best results after 3 radiofrequency needling treatments. And please bear in mind that you will often see little difference after the first treatment, as the new production of collagen & co. simply takes longer. This means that effects such as skin tightening or scar smoothing are actually visible only after 2-4 treatments.

Questions about the Morpheus 8™? Our FAQ section is not a substitute for a consultation, but offers you some initial guidance.

Morpheus 8™ can be used on almost all areas of the body with skin laxity, with particular effectiveness on the face, neck, décolleté and targeted areas of the body.

Face and neck: Effective reduction of wrinkles, scars and sagging skin. Especially for tightening tissue around the eyes, chin and neck. These are areas that are difficult to treat with injections after a certain age.
Upper arms and legs: Firming of problem areas, such as against flabby upper arms or saddlebags.
Abdomen and flanks: tightening, ideal after pregnancies or weight loss.
Hands and décolleté: rejuvenation of often neglected areas.

Detailed and individual advice is important to us. Just schedule a medical consultation beforehand if you have any questions.

The costs depend on the region treated. Sub-regions of the face cost € 440 per treatment. This includes, for example, tightening the eyelids or improving the jawline by removing sagging cheeks. Do you want to treat the entire face? Then this costs 690 €. For individual areas such as acne scars, you can also send us an e-mail or drop by for a consultation.

Comfort is our top priority: we apply a highly effective anaesthetic cream before the treatment. Afterwards, you will receive a soothing moisturizing mask that quickly reduces redness. The treatment itself is certainly not pleasant, but the sensation varies from person to person. We have had people who were deeply relaxed during the treatment and others who were tense and tense from minute one.

For optimal treatment success and lasting results, we recommend at least two to three treatments at intervals of 3-6 weeks, based on clinical studies on Morpheus 8™ technology. Initial improvements may be visible sooner, but all medical study protocols are based on multiple treatments in terms of skin improvement. The results typically last 1-2 years and can last longer with optimal skin care and a healthy lifestyle.

No, the effectiveness varies considerably. Treatment with Morpheus 8™ in a beauty salon is completely different from treatment by a specialist doctor. In beauty salons, Morpheus 8™ is only used to treat up to 0.5 mm, as the thicker needling attachments up to 7 mm are only sold to doctors. Less depth means a weaker effect. This is because all studies and treatment designs that have proven the skin-tightening effect of the Morpheus 8™ are based on needling depths of between 2 and 7 mm. Take this into account when choosing a specialized provider.
