What does the procedure entail?
Our St. Louis Morpheus8 Burst treatment uses microneedles to penetrate the skin’s surface, delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the skin and fat layers. This combination stimulates collagen production, encouraging your skin to heal and rejuvenate naturally.
While the treatment is generally comfortable, a topical anesthetic is applied to ensure minimal discomfort. After the numbing takes effect, the Morpheus8 Burst handpiece is placed on the targeted area to perform the procedure. The most common areas treated include the face, neck, chest, arms, and abdomen.

Morpheus8 Burst is an advanced radiofrequency microneedling treatment that delivers remarkable versatility, treating areas across the face and body with precision and customization. From the jawline, neck, and cheeks to the abdomen, arms, and knees, treatment plans are tailored to your unique concerns and goals.
By stimulating collagen and elastin production deep within the skin, Morpheus8 Burst helps tighten laxity, soften fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin quality. It also refines texture, minimizes the appearance of acne scars, and supports clearer skin by addressing active acne at its source.
The result is smoother, firmer, more radiant skin—with natural-looking rejuvenation that evolves beautifully over time.
Microneedling is a common alternative to Morpheus8 Burst. For added benefits to Morpheus8 Burst St. Louis patient can also combine this procedure with IPL treatments.

Morpheus8 Burst is known for its minimal downtime. After treatment, patients often experience mild redness, swelling, or a slight sandpaper-like texture on the skin, which typically resolves in 1-3 days. Sometimes, bruising may occur. If so, they could last up to 2 weeks but can be easily covered with a good concealer. At-home skincare routines, such as products like Illume Exfo Pads, or Illuminate, can further enhance your results.
While social downtime is minimal, it’s important to avoid direct sun exposure and strenuous activities and follow post-procedure care as directed by your provider. Patients can usually resume normal activities quickly, and many notice improvements shortly after treatment.
Long-term results become apparent as collagen production increases over the weeks following the procedure. For optimal results, a series of 3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended.
