Smooth cellulite and dimpling without surgery
It’s a simple fact that age brings skin laxity and dimpling from cellulite. The collagen fiber support that marks the firmness of youth begins to slow down as we get older and our skin thins out, showing flaws more readily.
Dr. Mark Craig and the Accent Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery team can smooth out dimpling for more youthful contours and tighten sagging skin with the revolutionary technology in the Morpheus8 system.

How Does Morpheus8 Work?
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy delivered at therapeutic depths—1mm up to 8mm—into the dermis to remodel tissues at every layer. Pulses of RF energy course through adipose tissue responsible for cellulite’s unsightly dimpling, coagulating and liquefying those cells for smoother contours.
40 gold-coated microneedles in the Body Pin Tip reach a depth of 7mm with an additional 1mm reach of thermal heat to shrink skin’s tissues and stimulate collagen production. Morpheus8 treats large areas like the upper arms, back, abdomen, buttocks, and thighs.
The system’s millisecond burst technology treats many layers within a single cycle, shortening treatment times while maximizing the total area covered. The result is smoother, tighter skin without cellulite’s telltale dimpling.
Am I a Good Candidate for Morpheus8?
Because the RF energy bypasses surface tissues for in-depth treatment, it does not interact with melanin-producing cells.
The risk of hyperpigmentation is extremely low, making Morpheus8 suitable for all skin types, even Fitzpatrick type VI. To get started with tighter, smoother skin all over your body, schedule a consultation with an Accent specialist today.
How Long Does a Typical Treatment Take?
Because of the Body’s 40-pin configuration and millisecond burst cycle, treatments are speedy even for large treatment areas like the back or stomach.
It does take some time for the topical numbing cream to work, so you can expect to be with our Accent team of specialists for 1-2 hours. After that, you’re free to return to your typical schedule.
What Results Can I Expect?
Microneedling treatments often result in an immediate improvement to your skin’s radiance. The increased circulation of the healing response will give your skin a dewy, flushed appearance. As the RF energy brings collagen production to life, your skin will continue to improve over the following 3-6 months. Having a series of Morpheus8 treatments improves your final results for tight, dimple-free skin.
Is There Any Downtime?
Morpheus8 for the body may result in mild swelling, tenderness, and redness to your skin, but this should not keep you from performing most routine activities. These effects should also subside within a few hours of treatment.
