Skin That Reflects Your Best
You’ve started noticing changes—looser skin, fine lines that seem a little deeper each month, or maybe a dull, uneven texture that no longer reflects how vibrant you feel. You want to do something about it, but surgery feels like too much, and those quick fixes you’ve tried just aren’t cutting it. If that sounds familiar, Morpheus8 at Face Forward Houston could be exactly what you’re looking for.
Led by Dr. Regina Rodman, a double board-certified facial plastic and craniofacial surgeon, our practice focuses exclusively on the face, bringing deep anatomical expertise to every procedure. We help patients who are ready to take meaningful, non-surgical steps toward rejuvenation. On this page, you’ll learn how Morpheus8 works, what it treats, who it’s for, and what kind of results you can expect. If you’re ready for smoother, tighter, more youthful skin—and want it in a way that fits your lifestyle—keep reading.
Technology That Talks to Your Skin
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a combination of microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy to address signs of aging and skin damage at a deeper level. Instead of simply treating the surface, Morpheus8 works beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production and encourage tissue remodeling. Using a device equipped with ultra-fine needles, it delivers RF energy into the dermis to gently heat the tissue. This thermal effect activates the body's natural repair process, helping to rebuild collagen and elastin for a firmer, smoother appearance.
Unlike superficial treatments or laser treatments that only affect the uppermost layers, Morpheus8 penetrates the deeper skin layers, reaching the underlying tissue where collagen production occurs. The treatment is particularly helpful for addressing dull tissue, loose skin, and an aged appearance caused by decreased collagen production. It’s one of the few devices on the market that combines fractional microneedling with deep thermal energy for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Head to Toe Confidence
Morpheus8 offers powerful aesthetic improvement without surgery or extended recovery. It’s a skin resurfacing option that works with the skin’s own biology to produce smoother, tighter results. Many patients describe their skin as visibly firmer and more vibrant within weeks, with continued improvement over time. This technology effectively reduces skin laxity while also refining skin tone, improving the appearance of acne scars, and addressing the fine lines that accumulate due to time, gravity, and sun exposure.
Unlike injectables that address volume loss, Morpheus8 works by improving the skin’s texture and tone, enhancing the integrity of the skin itself. That makes it an excellent choice for patients who want natural-looking results and longer-lasting improvements.
This is an excellent and effective treatment for most patients and all skin types, including darker skin tones, who may not be good candidates for other energy-based or laser treatments. Because it’s a minimally invasive treatment, there’s no risk of pigment alteration, making Morpheus8 one of the safest facial rejuvenation options available today.
More Than Just a Pretty Face
Morpheus8 is safe and effective across multiple zones of the body, not just the face. It’s commonly used to treat the:
It’s also a great option for improving skin quality in areas that are prone to stretch marks or skin laxity due to aging or weight loss. The ability to deliver energy at variable depths makes Morpheus8 uniquely adaptable for neck, chest, arms, and legs, giving providers control to customize every session for optimal results.
Tailored Care Starts Here
Your experience begins with a comprehensive consultation at Face Forward Houston. Dr. Rodman or her trained clinical team will assess your skin’s current condition, discuss your goals, and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your skin type, age, and concerns. During the consultation, we’ll determine how many treatments you may need—most patients achieve best results with a series of three treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. For mild skin concerns, a single session may be sufficient; for deeper lines, laxity, or scarring, more sessions may be recommended. We’ll also review your skincare regimen and provide guidance to ensure your skin is in optimal condition leading up to your procedure.
Taking these steps will prepare the skin to heal efficiently and reduce the risk of complications. If needed, we may also recommend additional treatments before or after Morpheus8 to maximize your results.
Precision Meets Possibility
To keep the experience as comfortable as possible, most patients are treated with a topical numbing cream before the session begins. In cases where more sensitive areas are being addressed, such as around the mouth or neck, Dr. Rodman may also use a local anesthetic for added relief. Treatment sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many areas are being treated and how intensive the session needs to be. The procedure uses a handheld device with microneedles that gently penetrate the skin’s deeper layers, where they emit controlled radiofrequency energy. This combination of microneedling and heat triggers a process called thermal remodeling, stimulating your body to produce new collagen and elastin. Over time, this deep regenerative activity tightens the skin, refines texture, and smooths lines from within. Morpheus8 emits radiofrequency energy that reaches the collagen matrix and boosts existing collagen while stimulating the body to produce more, rebuilding structure that was lost to the natural aging process. Patients typically describe the sensation as a warming, prickling feeling, and any discomfort is brief and manageable. There’s no cutting, no stitches, and virtually no downtime, making Morpheus8 a popular option for patients who want a significant upgrade to their skin without the commitment of plastic surgery.
Results That Reveal Themselves Beautifully
You’ll begin to see improvements within a few days, but the most noticeable benefits take shape gradually over the next several weeks. As skin heals, collagen production ramps up, and deeper tissue begins to remodel. Many patients report improved firmness, reduced fine lines, and an overall smoother texture within 3–4 weeks of their first session. Results continue to build with each treatment. For optimal results, a series of three treatments is usually recommended, spaced about one month apart. These sessions allow for cumulative collagen remodeling and skin tightening that improves the overall appearance and quality of your skin. Maintenance treatments may be scheduled once or twice a year, depending on your individual goals and how your skin responds. To extend and preserve your results, it’s critical to maintain a consistent skincare regimen, avoid direct sun exposure, and wear facial sunscreen daily. Patients who are proactive in their post-treatment care—keeping skin moisturized, avoiding harsh ingredients, and protecting the skin from UV damage—are able to enjoy long-lasting, visible improvements.
A Smoother Tomorrow Starts Today
Recovery is quick and straightforward. Most patients experience some degree of mild swelling, slight redness, or sensitivity in the treated area for 1–3 days after the procedure. These are normal signs that the healing process is underway and that the deeper tissues are responding to the treatment. You’ll be advised to keep your skin moisturized and avoid applying makeup or sunscreen for the first 24 hours. As peeling skin and redness resolve, you can gradually reintroduce your daily skincare products, starting with gentle cleansers and moisturizers. Avoiding excessive heat, exercise, and sun exposure during the first 48 hours will reduce irritation and support skin recovery. Because Morpheus8 does not cause open wounds or peeling like many other resurfacing treatments, the downtime is minimal, and most patients return to work or regular activities within a day or two. As your skin settles and repairs from within, you’ll start to see the visible payoff: tighter, brighter, more youthful-looking skin with improved tone and fewer irregularities.
