Changes in your skin, like thinning, looseness, and creasing, can appear gradually over time. These changes often reflect a shift in the deeper layers of the tissue, not just the surface. Beverly Friedlander MD uses Morpheus8 Body at her Short Hills, New Jersey, practice to address these deeper changes by strengthening the support structure beneath the skin. Her approach centers on identifying where the tissue has relaxed and using this energy-based body sculpting treatment to encourage renewal from within.
What Is Morpheus8 Body?
Areas That Can Benefit
Morpheus8 Body is an advanced device that targets the deeper layers of the skin using microneedles and controlled radiofrequency heat. By delivering energy beneath the surface, it remodels both the skin and underlying tissue, stimulating collagen and elastin production for gradual, natural-looking improvement. This process encourages collagen renewal, creating firmer, smoother tissue over time.
Because the treatment can penetrate deeper than many traditional microneedling devices, it is particularly effective for areas of the body where skin is thicker or laxity is more pronounced.
Morpheus8 Body is often used to improve:
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Arms
- Hips
- Bra Roll
- Buttocks
It supports skin that has loosened from aging, weight changes, or pregnancy, improving stretch marks, scars and cellulite.
How Morpheus8 Body Works
The Morpheus8 Body device is similar to its sister, the Morpheus 8 Face, and creates micro channels in the skin while delivering heat into the underlying tissue. The main difference is it is larger, alowing a larger treatment area. The device has 40 coated pins instead of 24 coated pins. It also penetrates deeper, up to 7 mm. This combination supports collagen and elastin production in thicker areas such as the abdomen and thigh, helping the treated areas appear tighter and more even. Its innovative 3D Smart Frame technology permits even distribution of the energy leading to a smoother, firmer result. Because it works below the surface, the improvements continue to develop over several months.
Treatment Experience
Dr. Bev will map out the area of concern then inject a local anesthesia for numbing allowing a more comfortable treatment. She then applies the device with controlled depth and energy levels tailored to your tissue. Mild swelling or redness may appear afterward but usually resolve quickly. Small needle marks may be visible for a few weeks. You can resume all activities a few days after.
Results and Longevity
Results develop gradually as new collagen forms. Many people notice improvements in tightness and texture over several weeks, with continued refinement over the following months. A series of 3-6 treatments are performed initially followed by annual maintenance sessions depending on your goals and the needs of your skin.
