WHAT IS RF ENERGY?

• RF is a part of electromagnetic spectrum where it’s frequency range depends


on industry

• IN MEDICINE: RF (radio-frequency) energy is an alternating electrical current


in a frequency range of 100kHz – 6MHz
• InMode RF frequency is 1MHz

• Pure controlled thermal effect


• At lower frequency there is nerve stimulation
• At higher frequency there is more radiation and less localized RF

Time
ELECTRICAL CURRENT - RF ENERGY

• Conductive RF - PC, TV, Medicine


– Depends on contact with skin

- Localised RF Bipolar RF Monopolar


energy
- Not spread
around body
- Better control
of depth
MECHANISM OF RF THERAPY

Electrical current conducted by the tissue increases ion collision

Kinetic energy is transformed to thermal energy (heat)

Heat causes controlled damage to skin tissue

The damage triggers natural healing mechanism

Tissue renewal (new collagen, elastin, HA) and regeneration (thicker


dermis)
resulting in skin tightening
MORPHEUS8 - Coated needles mean we protect the epidermis & can
safely apply multiple shots of energy in deeper layers
THE MECHANISM OF ACTION – TRIPLE EFFECT
• Thermal effect creates fat coagulation and bulk heating to
tighten & lift

• Thermal injury also induces secretion of:


• New collagen fibers
• New elastic fibers
• More ECM, mainly HA

• Mechanical needle injury induces fibroblasts stimulation


• Coated needles localize heat just at the distal tip, sparing
epidermis of heat damage

MORPHEUS8 BODY - BURST MODALITY
RADIOFREQUENCY VULCANIZATION TECHNOLOGY

HOW IT WORKS
Three step RF Vulcanization Process:
1. CHARGE - Powerful RF energy burst delivered deep into
the FSN causing re-orientation of collagen fibers
2. MOULD - RF energy dissipation leads to block heating
resulting in collagen remodeling and buttressing of FSN
3. WEAVE - RF energy delivered to the dermal level causing
pulling and synching of fibers into a weave

TIP CARE

▪ Tip arrives GAMMA sterilized in individual packet

▪ Pre-Use check package integrity

▪ Ensure you have the correct tip for desired treatment (12, 24, resurfacing or
body)

▪ Inspect all components of the Handpiece for visible damage

The Morpheus8 tip is single use only!


SELECTING TREATMENT PARAMETERS
▪ 12, 24 & 40 pin treatment may be applied to all skin types - Resurfacing tip skin
type I-III only

▪ The deeper the treatment the higher RF energy can be applied

▪ Reduce ~20% energy when working on thin skin, or on bony area like forehead

▪ Further ~20% reduction on thin skin over bone, like upper chest and back of
hands – consider resurfacing tip

▪ Use ONLY 1/2mm Depth and Cycling Mode settings on bony areas such as:
Forehead, Periorbital etc
SELECTING TREATMENT PARAMETERS – CONT.

▪ When treating dark skin restrict energy, starting at energy level 15 or lower
adding 5 levels each visit to a maximum of energy level 40 on soft tissue, and
energy level 25 over bone, preferably following bleaching regimen (cease these
products 3 days before treatment)

▪ Higher settings may be used if the user is experienced

▪ Follow QRG guidlines


TREATMENT PROCEDURE

▪ Apply the hand piece perpendicular to the treated area, with complete
contact and firm pressure

▪ On bony contoured areas such as forehead ‘squeeze’ the tissue around


the tip to ensure good, full contact

▪ Press footswitch to deliver RF energy – Single press for each pulse for
sensitive and small areas like eyelids, or continuous press for the Cycle
Mode

▪ When performing treatment, move the hand piece to the adjacent area
with overlap of approximately 50%

▪ 1-2 additional pulses may be triggered at the same site (Stacking) in


Fixed Mode. However, DO NOT stack pulses on bony areas such as
Forehead, Periorbital, etc.
GOOD COUPLING IMPORTANCE

Partial contact of external grid & partial needles penetration caused


by:
• very soft tissue (e.g. abdomen)
• not enough pressure
• Bony/curved areas of the forehead

• Bony areas use with extra caution: reduce the energy levels,
use 1-2 mm depth.
• ‘Pinch’ skin around tip to ensure full contact of all corners and
edges before firing RF
• Exclude zones with extremely thin skin and high curvature such
as upper part of the forehead or temple.
MAINTENANCE THROUGHOUT TREATMENT
▪ During a prolonged treatment, cell debris may adhere to the pins and affect device
performance, to avoid this from happening, we recommend the following steps:

1. Clean the tips every ~200 penetrations into the skin (stacked pulses are not counted),
a. Adjust treatment parameters to max depth in Fixed Mode. Any Energy and Repetition rate
may be used.
b. Hold the Morpheus8 Applicator with one hand and with the other hand firmly stretch a 70%
alcohol-soaked pad (ethanol or isopropyl alcohol) over the tip.
c. Press the footswitch and allow the pins to fully penetrate through the pad several times.
After a couple of repetitions, move the pad to expose new alcohol-soaked areas.

2. When reaching ~1500 penetrations, dispose of the tip and use a new one.
Most facial procedures do not exceed this number.
POST-TREATMENT
▪ Skin can be cooled after the treatment to relieve discomfort

▪ Can apply healing or antibiotic ointment (e.g. Clinisept) immediately post


treatment, up to 1-3 days

▪ Avoid touching the treated area

▪ Avoid additional heat for rest of the day

▪ As soon as the needle holes close (1-3 days), can apply moisturizer, sun-
screen, and make-up (with clean applicator). Use SPF ongoing.

▪ Avoid retinol based products for 3-5 days post treatment


M O R P H E U S 8 T R EATM EN T S C H E D U LE

• Recommend a course of 3
treatments

• One session every 4-6 weeks

• Reviewed at 12-18 months
