Morpheus8 in Truro, Cornwall
Improve skin texture, firmness and definition with Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling at Update Aesthetics.
Morpheus8 combines fine microneedles with radiofrequency energy to work beneath the surface of the skin, supporting your body's natural collagen production for gradual, natural-looking improvement.
Every treatment begins with a consultation at our Lemon Street clinic in Truro, where we assess your skin, discuss your concerns and recommend a treatment plan built around you.

What is Morpheus8
During treatment, a handpiece containing very fine microneedles creates tiny channels in the skin while delivering radiofrequency energy at carefully selected depths.
This controlled heating stimulates the skin's natural healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin over the following weeks and months.
Because the depth and energy can be adjusted for each area, Morpheus8 can be tailored to the face, neck and selected body areas, and to the specific concern being treated.
At Update Aesthetics, Morpheus8 is always recommended following a consultation, so you can be confident it is the right treatment for your skin. Enquire About Morpheus8
What can Morpheus8 Treat?
Morpheus8 can be considered for a range of skin concerns, depending on your skin type, the area being treated and your goals. This may include:
uneven skin texture
improving jawline definition
selected body areas, such as the abdomen, arms and knees
loose or crepey skin
the appearance of acne scarring
skin laxity on the neck
softening fine lines and wrinkles
enlarged pores
mild jowling around the face
If your main concern is pigmentation, sun spots or redness, our Lumecca IPL treatment may be more appropriate.
If you would prefer a needle-free treatment with no downtime, you may wish to explore Forma skin tightening.
Natural-Looking Morpheus8 Results
Morpheus8 works with your skin's own renewal process, so improvements build gradually rather than appearing overnight.
Our aim is to improve the quality and firmness of your skin while keeping results natural and in proportion with your features.
Treatment settings are chosen for your skin type, the area being treated and the concern you would like to address.
Where another treatment, or a combination of treatments, would suit your concern better, this will be discussed during your consultation.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Many patients are recommended a course of up to 3 Morpheus8 sessions, spaced around 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Some changes in skin texture may be noticed within a few weeks, but results continue to develop for around 3 months after treatment as new collagen forms.
Your skin will continue to age naturally, so maintenance treatment can be discussed if you would like to preserve your results over time.
Morpheus8 Recovery and Aftercare
Redness, warmth and swelling are common after Morpheus8 and usually settle within 1 to 3 days. Some patients notice small grid-like marks on the skin, which can take a few days longer to fade. Following treatment, you will be given personalised aftercare instructions for your skin.
If you have an important event approaching, we recommend booking Morpheus8 at least 2 weeks beforehand to allow any redness or marks to settle.
General guidance includes:
avoid make-up for at least 24 hours after treatment
avoid active skincare such as retinol and exfoliating acids until advised
use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser while your skin settles
avoid strenuous exercise, saunas and steam rooms for 48 hours
protect your skin from the sun and apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily
follow any additional instructions provided by your practitioner
Morpheus8, Lumecca and Forma can each be used on their own, or as part of a wider skin plan when you have more than one concern.
