"Radio frequency micro needling is not a bad technology. It's just very operator dependent. Although I would happily have superficial radio frequency micro needling done on me to keep my pores tight, to keep my skin glowy, I would not have deep radio frequency micro needling. The problem with a lot of these RF micro needling devices is they are found in med spas with very little supervision. There are a lot of people operating them that don't know how to pick the appropriate settings to achieve the aesthetic outcome that their patients want or they've promised their patient an aesthetic outcome that this type of device really can't achieve, namely significant skin tightening."

"Micro needling RF is my go-to tool when it comes to acne scars or stretch marks. If you have very deep scars or you're more mature, crossed 35, 40, you have scars and you have a little bit of sagging, it's a wonderful tool because it's radio frequency which is heating your collagen and tightening the skin and those needles are sort of breaking the fibrous bands and also making way for whatever solutions that you want to pour, whether it's exosomes or PRP."

"If you have darker skin colors, this may be the best treatment for non-invasive skin tightening for you because some of the other treatments can cause issues with pigmentation problems in people with darker skin. In my opinion, the gold standard for non-invasive skin tightening today is radio frequency micro needling, otherwise known as Morpheus8. During this treatment, you undergo micro needling where tiny needles are used to puncture the skin to a certain depth, but these needles are insulated all the way up to the tip of the needle, which emits radio frequency energy or heat. RF micro needling like Morpheus8 heats the deep skin by using radio frequency energy. With RF micro needling, essentially you're getting a twofer: the micro needling creates tiny punctures in the skin that can cause the collagen to tighten up and for the skin to be smoother and tighter overall, and the radio frequency heating of the deep skin can cause that skin also to tighten up in its own way. In my office, we do a lot of Morpheus treatments and we follow it up with application of exosomes on top of the skin, and we found that by applying exosomes you can reduce the redness afterwards, and some people find that within 24 hours their skin looks and feels almost back to normal."

"I'm not a big fan. And there's two reasons why. It has an insulated needle and it holds that heat. And it doesn't have a pulse wave. So it has a continuous wave. So that just means the energy is going this way and it's not going like this. I think those two factors, it's like a 50/50 with Morpheus, right? Some people love it, but it's literally like 50/50 and 50 don't like it. I think those two things make the 50 not like it."

"Morpheus 8 promise a lot and not deliver much. I have personally not seen a lot of patients with good results from Morpheus 8. If you're somebody who needs a lot of tightening, Morpheus 8 isn't going to get it done. That might be a surgical job. But if you're somebody who's just looking to slow things down or maybe prevent those wrinkles from getting deeper, Morpheus 8 might be your thing."
