Since 2016, Butterfly Aesthetics has been a trusted provider of non-surgical facial aesthetics and medical-grade skincare, helping patients achieve natural, confident results in a calm, professional setting. Our focus is on subtle enhancement rather than drastic change, using clinically proven technologies and personalised treatment plans. Two of our most popular skin-tightening and rejuvenation options are Forma and Morpheus8 – powerful, non-surgical treatments that can be used alone or together to transform skin quality, tone and firmness.

What is Forma?

Forma is a non-invasive skin-tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin. This controlled warming stimulates collagen and elastin production, the structural proteins that keep skin firm, smooth and youthful.

Key Features of Forma

  • Non-surgical, no needles – ideal if you’re nervous about injectables or downtime.
  • Comfortable treatment – often described as a warm, relaxing facial massage.
  • Targets multiple areas – face, neck, jawline and sometimes body areas with mild laxity.
  • No downtime – you can return to work or social activities immediately.

Benefits of Forma

  • Firmer, tighter skin with improved elasticity
  • Softer fine lines and early wrinkles
  • More defined jawline and lower face
  • Fresher, more radiant complexion

Forma is particularly suited to those noticing early signs of ageing or mild skin laxity who want a gentle, progressive improvement without looking “overdone”.

What is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is a more intensive treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel the skin at a deeper level. Ultra-fine needles deliver heat directly into the dermis and sub-dermal tissue, triggering a powerful healing and remodelling response.

Key Features of Morpheus8

  • Fractional microneedling with RF – treats both the surface and deeper layers of the skin.
  • Customisable depth – can be adjusted to suit different areas and concerns.
  • Suitable for face and body – including lower face, jowls, neck, abdomen and thighs.
  • Versatile – used for skin tightening, textural improvement and contouring.

Benefits of Morpheus8

  • Significant tightening and remodelling of loose or sagging skin
  • Smoother texture – improvement in scars, enlarged pores and crepey skin
  • Enhanced jawline and neck definition
  • Improved overall skin quality and resilience
  • Long-lasting collagen stimulation for ongoing results over several months

Morpheus8 is ideal for those with moderate laxity or more established signs of ageing, or where texture concerns (such as acne scarring or crepiness) are present.

How Do Forma and Morpheus8 Work?

Both treatments use radiofrequency energy to safely heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin.

  • Forma delivers a gentler, even heat across the treatment area using a smooth handpiece. This makes it perfect for gradual firming and maintenance.
  • Morpheus8 uses tiny microneedles to deliver RF energy at precise depths beneath the skin’s surface, creating controlled micro-injuries. This triggers a stronger remodelling response and can target deeper laxity and textural issues.

Results develop gradually as your body builds new collagen. Many clients notice an initial “tightening” effect, followed by continuing improvement over 3–6 months.

How Forma and Morpheus8 Complement Other Treatments

At Butterfly Aesthetics, Forma and Morpheus8 are often integrated into broader treatment plans to achieve balanced, natural results:
  • With dermal fillers – Fillers restore lost volume and contour, while Forma or Morpheus8 improve skin quality and firmness. Used together, they can enhance facial structure and skin texture without an artificial look.
  • With anti-wrinkle injections – Muscle-relaxing injections soften dynamic lines (from expression), while RF treatments tackle static lines, laxity and texture, giving a smoother, more youthful appearance.
  • With medical-grade skincare – High-quality skincare supports and prolongs your in-clinic results, improving hydration, barrier function and overall clarity.
  • With chemical peels or skin resurfacing – These focus on surface tone and pigmentation, while Forma and Morpheus8 work deeper on collagen and skin architecture.

Your practitioner will recommend the most appropriate combination and sequence to optimise safety, comfort and outcome.
