Morpheus8 2.0 in West Hollywood

Morpheus8 is radiofrequency (RF) microneedling. Fine gold-plated needles carry RF energy into the skin and the fat layer beneath it, making controlled micro-injuries while the heat remodels collagen and tightens tissue. Morpheus8 2.0 runs on the InMode Optimas MAX platform, and at Dr Refresh in West Hollywood your provider sets the depth for the face, neck or body.

Loose skin, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture and stretch marks. It also firms the jawline, jowls and neck. Many patients choose it as a non-surgical option before considering a facelift.

Numbing cream goes on 30 to 45 minutes before treatment. Most patients describe a warm, prickling feeling or deep heat during the session. Your provider checks in throughout and can adjust settings as you go. If comfort is your main concern, ask about Morpheus8 Cool, which cools the skin during each pulse.

Adults with loose or crepey skin, fine lines, acne scarring, enlarged pores or uneven texture who want a result without surgery. It is not the right choice during pregnancy or nursing, with an active skin infection, an implanted device or a history of keloid scarring. Your provider reviews your skin and medical history at the consultation before recommending a plan.

Your provider reviews your goals and marks the areas to treat. Numbing cream goes on for 30 to 45 minutes, then the handpiece passes over each area at the depth set for it, with check-ins on comfort throughout. You leave with aftercare instructions and a date for your next session, four to six weeks later.

Most patients need one to three sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. Mild laxity sometimes needs one; deeper scarring or advanced aging usually needs the full series. Your number is set at your consultation.

Expect redness, mild swelling and pinpoint marks for two to five days. Most people are back to normal activity within 24 to 48 hours and can wear makeup after the first day. Avoid direct sun, saunas and strenuous exercise for 72 hours.

Texture and tone usually improve within one to two weeks. The larger change builds over three to six months as collagen and elastin rebuild, which is why before and after photos are taken months apart. Results can last one to three years depending on your skin, age and lifestyle, and a yearly maintenance session helps extend them.

Dr Refresh treats a range of skin tones. Because the energy is delivered beneath the surface through insulated needles, RF microneedling is often considered for skin not suited to some lasers. Skin type alone does not decide candidacy or remove risk, so bring your skin history and any pigmentation concerns to your consultation.

Morpheus8 1.0 is $750, Morpheus8 2.0 is $1,250 and Morpheus8 Cool is $1,500 per treatment, whether you book one session or a series. Your plan price is confirmed at your free consultation. You can also pay over time with Cherry, subject to approval.

RF microneedling tightens skin and remodels collagen without incisions, general anesthesia or surgical recovery. A facelift lifts more advanced sagging. Some patients use it to delay surgery or to maintain a surgical result.

Yes. It pairs with Hydrafacials, collagen induction serum, wrinkle relaxers and dermal filler. Some combinations need spacing to heal properly, so your provider plans the order rather than stacking them on one day.

Stop retinoids, exfoliating acids and blood-thinning supplements about a week before, and arrive with clean skin. Afterward, use a gentle fragrance-free moisturizer and SPF 30 or higher daily. Tell your provider if you are pregnant or nursing, have an active skin infection, an implanted device, a history of keloid scarring, or take medication that makes skin sun-sensitive.

Dr Refresh offers all three versions, Morpheus8 1.0, 2.0 and Cool, so your plan starts from your skin rather than from one machine. Treatments are overseen by Dr. Fisher, MD, our Medical Director, and performed by our physician assistants. The studio is at 1106 N La Cienega Blvd, Suite 206, serving West Hollywood and patients across Los Angeles, and every plan starts with a free consultation.
