Butterfly Aesthetics has been a trusted provider of non-surgical facial aesthetics and medical-grade skincare treatments since 2016, offering personalised care in a professional, welcoming environment. Our focus is on subtle, natural-looking enhancement – helping you feel confident in your own skin. One of our most advanced technologies for skin rejuvenation is Morpheus8 Radiofrequency Microneedling.
What Is Morpheus8 RadioFrequency Microneedling?
Morpheus8 RadioFrequency Microneedling is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to remodel and tighten the skin from the inside out. Unlike traditional microneedling, Morpheus8 delivers heat deep into the dermis and subdermal layers, targeting collagen, elastin and fat for powerful anti-ageing and skin-smoothing results.
It is suitable for both face and body and can be tailored to different skin types and concerns.
How Morpheus8 RadioFrequency Microneedling Works
Morpheus8 uses ultra-fine, gold-plated needles to create precise micro-channels in the skin. As the needles penetrate, they deliver controlled RF energy to specific depths beneath the surface.
This dual action works in three key ways:
-
Collagen stimulation – The controlled heat triggers your skin’s natural healing response, encouraging new collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother skin over time.
-
Skin tightening – By delivering RF energy into deeper layers, Morpheus8 helps contract existing collagen fibres and tighten lax tissue.
-
Subdermal remodelling – In targeted areas, it can gently contour by affecting small pockets of fat, improving definition along the jawline and other facial contours.
Results develop gradually over several weeks as new collagen forms, with continued improvement over three to six months.
Key Features of Morpheus8 RadioFrequency Microneedling
-
Fractional radiofrequency technology – Targets a fraction of the skin at a time, allowing for effective remodelling with relatively quick healing.
-
Adjustable depth – Needle penetration can be customised to suit different areas (for example, delicate under-eye skin vs jawline or body), making it highly versatile.
-
Safe for a range of skin tones – Unlike some laser treatments, Morpheus8 is suitable for most skin types when performed by an experienced practitioner.
-
Face and body versatility – Can be used on the face, neck, decolletage, abdomen, thighs, knees and more.
Benefits of Morpheus8 RadioFrequency Microneedling
Morpheus8 RadioFrequency Microneedling can help to improve the appearance of:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Skin laxity (loose or sagging skin)
-
Poor skin texture and enlarged pores
-
Acne scarring and certain other types of scarring
-
Mild jowls and loss of jawline definition
-
Stretch marks and crepey skin on the body
Key patient benefits include:
-
Minimally invasive – No surgery, no general anaesthetic and minimal downtime compared with more invasive procedures.
-
Natural-looking results – Because the treatment works by stimulating your own collagen, improvements tend to look subtle and authentic rather than “overdone”.
-
Progressive improvement – Results build over time, often with further gains after each session in a treatment course.
-
Customisable plans – Treatment can be tailored to your concerns, lifestyle and desired level of change.
How Morpheus8 RadioFrequency Microneedling Complements Other Treatments
Morpheus8 RadioFrequency Microneedling is often most effective as part of a comprehensive, bespoke treatment plan.
At Butterfly Aesthetics, we may combine or sequence Morpheus8 with:
-
Dermal fillers – While Morpheus8 tightens and improves skin quality, fillers can restore lost volume in areas such as cheeks, temples and lips for balanced facial rejuvenation.
-
Anti-wrinkle injections – These relax dynamic lines (such as frown lines and crow’s feet), while Morpheus8 targets static wrinkles and overall texture.
-
Medical-grade skincare – Using clinically proven skincare before and after treatment supports barrier function, enhances results and prolongs benefits.
-
Chemical peels or skin resurfacing – When appropriately spaced, these can further refine texture, tone and pigmentation.
Your practitioner will advise on the safest and most effective way to combine treatments, including appropriate timing between procedures.
The Morpheus8 RadioFrequency Microneedling Treatment Journey at Butterfly Aesthetics
-
Consultation – Your journey begins with a detailed, face-to-face consultation. We discuss your concerns, medical history and goals, assess your skin and explain what Morpheus8 RadioFrequency Microneedling can realistically achieve for you.
-
Personalised treatment plan – If Morpheus8 RadioFrequency Microneedling is suitable, we create a bespoke plan, including the number of sessions recommended (usually a course of 2–3 treatments spaced several weeks apart).
-
Preparation – On the day of treatment, the skin is cleansed and a topical anaesthetic cream is applied to enhance comfort.
-
Procedure – The Morpheus8 RadioFrequency Microneedling handpiece is passed over the treatment area, delivering microneedling and RF energy. You may feel warmth and some pressure; most people find this manageable with numbing cream.
-
Aftercare – There may be some redness, mild swelling or tiny pinpoint marks for a few days. We provide tailored aftercare guidance and recommend specific skincare to support healing.
-
Follow-up and review – We review your progress, adjust your ongoing plan if needed and discuss any complementary treatments that may further enhance your results.

We would recommend you have this treatment when you have no holidays planned as we cannot treat you if you have an active sun tan or false tan.
We recommend you start with a course of 3 treatments. It is very dependent on your concerns. For concerns such as scarring you may require more treatments for best results.
