Morpheus8 RF and Fractora RF microneedling radiofrequency treatment

What is the treatment?

Morpheus8 and Fractora are fractional radiofrequency (RF) treatments. These treatments combine the properties and benefits of radiofrequency and microneedling. They are designed to tighten and smooth the skin. During RF treatment, the heat energy from the radiofrequency targets collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis, activating the skin’s natural collagen production. The treatment creates a new and smoother surface, restoring a youthful and radiant appearance to the skin. Morpheus8 and Fractora are ideal treatments for improving acne scars, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and tightening the skin. After treatment, the skin surface improves quickly, but the final results appear in 2-3 months, as the effects in the deeper layers of the skin continue, and collagen formation takes time. A series of treatments provides the best and most lasting results.

At Klinik Linnea, fractional radiofrequency treatments are performed by experienced nurses and doctors.

What results can be expected from the treatment?

The treatment provides softer, firmer, and more even skin. It is suitable for the skin on the face, neck, and body.

Morpheus8 and Fractora fractional radiofrequency treatment is effective for treating various skin concerns and are especially suitable for:

The treatment can optionally include ZO Retinol Boost 1%

ZO Retinol Boost 1%, which is designed to enhance the intensity of clinical treatments and enable better targeting of the procedures.

It accelerates skin renewal, prevents future pigmentation issues, and ensures more even distribution of pigment. Encapsulated retinol ensures targeted, controlled delivery and maximum effectiveness.

Are there any restrictions for the treatment?

Contraindications include active herpes, inflammation or active skin diseases in the treatment area (e.g., acne), excessive scar tissue, porphyria, skin damage or open wounds in the treatment area, active skin cancer, warts, bacterial or fungal infections, frostbite, sunburned skin, actinic keratosis, hemophilia, or scleroderma. Metal implants, tattoos in the treatment area, and pacemakers are also contraindications for the treatment.

Recovery time

After Morpheus8 and Fractora treatment, it’s common to experience redness, mild swelling, tingling, and warmth in the skin. These reactions are normal and related to the heat energy delivered during the treatment. Symptoms typically subside within the first few days. In the days following the treatment, the skin may feel slightly swollen and red, and it may feel a little rough and require more moisture than usual. Most clients can return to their normal daily routines immediately after treatment.

Maintaining results

Klinik Linnea recommends a series of 3-5 treatments to achieve optimal results. We recommend spacing treatments approximately four weeks apart.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I prepare for the treatment?

No special preparation is required for the treatment. We recommend eating before the treatment and arriving without makeup. We will send you an electronic health questionnaire before your appointment; please complete this before your treatment.

What does the treatment include?

The treatment includes a consultation, skin cleansing, numbing with lidocaine cream, the procedure itself, aftercare cream, aftercare instructions, and a relaxing, rejuvenating experience at Klinik Linnea.

How long does the treatment take?

The duration of the treatment depends on the size of the area being treated but typically takes around 60-90 minutes.

Is there any pain during the treatment?

Moderate. You may experience mild tingling and warmth during the treatment, but the numbing cream makes the pain very tolerable.

What are the most common reactions after the treatment?

Redness, swelling, dryness, a feeling of tightness, and roughness on the skin are normal post-treatment reactions. After the treatment, small needle marks may remain on the skin, which typically disappear within about two weeks. Rarely, bruising may occur in the treated area. As the skin renews, it may peel in some areas. If you have any questions about recovery, please contact the professional who performed your treatment.

What are the aftercare instructions?

Good hygiene is especially important after the treatment. Avoid touching the skin on the first day. Gentle cleansing and adequate moisturization using products recommended by the treatment staff is advised to speed up the healing process. Avoid rubbing the skin. We recommend avoiding vigorous exercise and sauna use for the first 1-3 days. Makeup can be applied to the treated area after 24 hours. Strong active ingredients (e.g., retinol, AHA, BHA) should be avoided for 5 days after the treatment. Sun exposure should be avoided for at least one month after treatment. To maintain the results, protecting the skin from the sun is crucial. Klinik Linnea recommends using SPF50 sunscreen year-round. If you have any questions about recovery, please contact the professional who treated you.
