At Semel Vision Care & Aesthetics in El Segundo, we offer Morpheus8, a state-of-the-art radiofrequency microneedling treatment that significantly improves skin texture, tone, and tightness. Whether you’re seeking acne scar reduction, surgical scar reduction, or help with fine lines and wrinkles, Morpheus8 delivers long-lasting results with minimal downtime.

What Is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This dual technology stimulates collagen and elastin production deep within the skin for improvements in tone, texture, and overall skin quality.

Our aesthetic experts often recommend Morpheus8 for:

  • \Skin tightening
  • \Acne scars
  • \Surgical scars
  • \Stretch marks
  • \Fine lines and wrinkles
  • \Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)

Who Is a Candidate?

Under the care of the experts at Semel Vision Care & Aesthetics in El Segundo, Morpheus8 is a safe and effective option for patients of all skin types and tones. RF microneedling candidates are often patients who are concerned about mild to moderate skin laxity, textural irregularities, or early signs of aging. Patients who want to minimize acne scars, stretch marks, and enlarged pores can also be great candidates.

Benefits of Morpheus8

  • Non-surgical skin tightening
  • Smooths fine lines and wrinkles
  • Effective acne scar reduction and surgical scar reduction
  • Noticeable stretch mark improvement
  • Minimizes pore size
  • Enhances skin tone and texture
  • Safe for all skin tones with minimal risk of hyperpigmentation
  • Treats the face, neck, chest, abdomen, thighs, and more
  • Quick recovery with uniform results

What to Expect During a Morpheus8 Treatment

At the start of your RF microneedling procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort. During treatment, the Morpheus8 handpiece will be used to create tiny punctures in the skin and deliver controlled RF energy into the underlying dermal layers, jumpstarting the natural healing and collagen renewal process. Morpheus8 treatment sessions typically take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area.

What to Expect After an RF Microneedling Treatment

Morpheus8 recovery involves minimal downtime, though you may experience mild redness, swelling, and sensitivity—similar to symptoms of a minor sunburn—for a few days. Most patients return to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours. It’s important to avoid sun exposure and follow all post-procedure aftercare instructions for cleansing and hydrating the skin to promote optimal healing and results.

 

Morpheus8 Results

Initial results may be visible within a few days, but the most significant changes typically appear after three weeks, as new collagen forms. Ongoing improvements can be expected for up to three months. For best outcomes, we often recommend a series of treatments.

How Much Does Morpheus8 Cost?

The cost of radiofrequency microneedling with Morpheus8 varies based on the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions needed. During your consultation, we will provide a customized treatment plan and the associated pricing details.

Patient Testimonials

Tamara J
I have gone to Semel vision for at least 20 years!! I am a satisfied patient.
Alice S
The staff is very friendly and explain everything that they are doing. Dr. Semel is also very friendly and professional and helps you to understand everything.
Cynthia P
I was experiencing serious eye infection & I was able to get in to see Dr. SEMEL very quickly. She diagnosed & prescribed meds, which are very quickly healing my eye. The location has plenty of easy parking & the offices are very clean & well designed. Pleasant staff also. I had another appointment, different date with Dr. Julia Larson, OD, to check in on my MGD condition, and all was well, & the recommendations from the doctor had helped improve my situation. She takes her time & is very through with the exam, while explaining in detail what condition I have. She is very upbeat and a pleasure to have as my eye doctor.
Garry G
It was an amazing experience and dr. Semel caring and attentive. She takes time to listen and make me feel important. It’s doesn’t happen with other dr.’s

I usually receive compliments from people after I get Juvederm injections from Dr. Semel. The injections give my face a radiant and youthful look. Dr Semel has years of experience and education in applying Botox, Juvederm, and Voluma and her work always looks natural. I trust the quality of Dr. Semel’s work and always have confidence in what to expect from her. I recently tried a new product from Dr. Jane Semel called SkinPen. One thing I really like about Dr. Semel is that she always stays on top of new facial and neck products for women. SkinPen is the latest in technology to help the neck and face. It’s not an injection. Before the treatment, my face was gently cleansed. Then Dr. Semel used what looks like a pen and runs it over my neck and every area of my face which feels like a slight stinging that does not hurt. This treatment lasts about 30 minutes. It promotes a healing process of collagen and elastin that continues for months afterwards. My neck and face already look more youthful, softer and natural.

Dr. Semel was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The staff was friendly, and I felt listened to throughout my visits for bilateral cataract eye surgeries.

What a professional, well run office with caring Doctors and staff. They explain in detail what each step of the process will be and put you at ease while they handle exams and diagnosis with aplomb. I have worn glasses since I was six and so I have had wonderful doctors before. I'm so glad that I was able to find Dr. Semel and Dr. Larson after my long time doctor retired. One stop shopping for medications and glasses.
