We all know Morpheus8 has taken the world by storm, and this storm has just hit Cape Town. We checked in with Dr Blink from Dr. Blink Medical Aesthetics since he acquired the InMode Morpheus8 and shares his experience.
Medical Aesthetic Market Growth
With the rapid growth and changes in the medical aesthetics market, one needs to stay at the forefront of the latest products and technology. In my continuing research to acquire the most advanced and most effective treatment modalities, I have chosen the Morpheus8 that combines radio frequency and micro-needling.
Why did I choose InMode Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is one of the few treatments available that can be used to treat the difficult area, the neck.
As an aesthetics medical practitioner, my speciality treatment is threads. I often find that I have patients with very heavy adipose tissue, where one needs to use Morpheus8 to remodel the subdermal structures, after which the threads procedure can be done to achieve a more exaggerated, but still natural lift.
Morpheus8 Skin Resurfacing is great for addressing cheek wrinkles (accordion lines), barcode (smokers) lines, acne scarring and general skin texture irregularities.
With our Morpheus8 Body treatments, I can sculpt those resistant fat pockets.
What are the benefits and indications for Morpheus8?
- Addresses common signs of aging.

- Improving the appearance of scars (surgical scars, acne scars, etc.)
- Increasing tissue firmness by building more collagen.
- Minimising fine lines and wrinkles and evens out the skin tone.

What areas can be treated?
- Any area that can benefit from sub-dermal renewal (e.g., heavy jowls, resistant body fat pockets that need sculpting).
- The most commonly treated areas include the face and neck. Areas of the face and body that exhibit wrinkles, discoloration or acne scarring are suitable for treatment.
How many treatments do I need?
Depending on the treatment regime, you can expect to have 1 – 3 sessions.
How quickly will I see results?
