Ultherapy vs. Morpheus8: A Quick Overview

Get smoother, firmer, more lifted, younger-looking skin with our clients’ favorite skin-tightening treatments to counteract the effects of time and gravity: Ultherapy and Morpheus8. Both are effective and popular skin-tightening treatments—Morpheus8 is newer and more cutting-edge, but both deliver noticeable results. Read on for guidance from our expert providers on these treatments, their differences, and which is right for you…

What Is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is a noninvasive therapy featuring ultrasound technology to smooth fine lines and wrinkles and tighten skin. The technology penetrates deep into your skin's surface, naturally lifting the jawline, neck, brow, or target area. Another benefit to Ultherapy: it’s a treatment that requires zero downtime.

As with all collagen induction therapies, Ultherapy's natural-looking results are gradual and subtle. With proper skin care, results may last up to a year.

What Is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive skin-tightening treatment that combines radiofrequency and microneedling to give your skin a youthful glow. The treatment can improve the appearance of acne scarring, stretch marks, under-eye bags, and wrinkles.

Morpheus8 microneedling punctures the skin deeper than conventional devices, while the radiofrequency further stimulates collagen production. The combination tightens the skin, giving it a natural youthful look. You can see results within a few weeks, and results can last up to three to five years. The method stimulates your body's natural tissues, elastin, and collagen. You may experience some pain or discomfort during the procedure, and up to a few days while recovering.

Difference Between Ultherapy and Morpheus8

There are significant differences between Ultherapy and Morpheus8, including:

• Method: One of the most significant differences between the skin-tightening treatments is how each approaches skin imperfections. Ultherapy uses ultrasound waves to warm your skin, stimulating elasticity and collagen production. Morpheus8 leverages microneedle technology to penetrate the skin, while the radiofrequency energy enhances results.
• Effect on subcutaneous fat: Morpheus8 can remodel subcutaneous fat at certain depths, whereas Ultherapy has no effect on fat.
• Outcomes: Ultherapy may take three to six months to deliver the best results, while Morpheus8 results become visible within weeks of the initial treatment and may continue to improve up to three months. As always, individual results may vary.
