Morpheus 8 Body at Cannelle Skin Clinic in Oxford provides advanced radiofrequency microneedling for firmer, tighter and more refined skin. Doctor led treatment plans deliver natural, long lasting improvements in body contour and skin quality.
Morpheus8 Body Treatment Overview
Morpheus8 Body is one of the most advanced technologies available for tightening skin, improving texture and restoring firmness on the body. It is an ideal option for people who want noticeable results without surgery or prolonged downtime. Many patients choose this treatment for areas affected by ageing, pregnancy, weight fluctuations or naturally reduced collagen.
At Cannelle Skin Clinic, Morpheus8 Body is used as part of a personalised treatment plan. The device combines fractional radiofrequency with deep microneedling to remodel collagen and strengthen the underlying structure of the skin. Results develop gradually, giving a natural and refined improvement to body contours and overall skin quality.
Whether you are concerned about laxity around the abdomen, softness around the arms, uneven texture on the thighs or general loss of firmness, Morpheus 8 Body offers a targeted, doctor led approach to long term rejuvenation.
Morpheus8 Body works by delivering controlled radiofrequency energy through a matrix of microneedles. These needles penetrate to precise depths beneath the skin, where the radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers. This combination stimulates collagen and elastin production, remodels tissue and creates a firmer, smoother surface over time.
The advantage of Morpheus8 Body compared with traditional microneedling is its depth and thermal effect. Standard microneedling treats only the superficial layers, while Morpheus8 Body reaches deeper planes of tissue. This allows the device to address skin laxity, soft contours and more advanced laxity that topical treatments or superficial procedures cannot reach.
It also differs from treatments such as laser skin tightening or energy based devices like HIFU. Laser focuses more on surface texture and pigment. HIFU targets deep structural layers but does not address texture at the same time. Morpheus 8 Body bridges these approaches by tightening the skin, smoothing texture and strengthening the deeper tissues in a single treatment pathway.
Because the device is fractional, it leaves surrounding tissue intact which supports quicker recovery. The heat generated from the radiofrequency triggers a process known as neocollagenesis. Over several weeks, your skin begins rebuilding stronger, more resilient fibres, resulting in firmer and more even looking skin.
Your practitioner will begin by assessing the areas you would like to treat and designing a personalised plan. A topical numbing cream is applied to maintain comfort. Once the skin is prepared, the Morpheus 8 Body device is placed over the area and controlled pulses are delivered. You may feel warmth and a brief prickling sensation as the microneedles and radiofrequency energy work together.
Treatment times vary depending on the number of areas being treated. Most sessions last between 45 and 90 minutes. The process is methodical to ensure even coverage and effective collagen stimulation.
The skin may appear flushed or warm, similar to mild sun exposure. Slight swelling or pinpoint redness is normal and settles over the next few days. Treated areas may feel a little tight or sensitive, especially if a higher intensity setting has been used.
During the first 24-48 hours, it’s normal to experience mild redness, warmth and sensitivity as the skin begins to respond to treatment. Over the following 3-5 days, you may notice light dryness or flaking as the skin renews and sheds old cells. Improvements in firmness and texture are usually seen gradually over 2-4 weeks, with collagen continuing to rebuild. Between 6-12 weeks, results become more defined, revealing smoother, healthier and more resilient skin.
Avoid heat, exercise and direct sun exposure for the first 24 to 48 hours. Keep the area clean and well hydrated with simple, non reactive skincare. You will be advised to use a high factor SPF on any exposed areas. Avoid active ingredients, exfoliation and tanning products until the skin has settled.

I had two waxings and a biofacial today. Holly was excellent, knowledgeable, and impeccable in her attention. The products also felt really lovely – the hot wax was painless and the facial products felt luxurious. The whole experience was the best I’ve ever had. Will come back.
I go to Cannelle for facials, manicures and pedicures. They are professional, skilled, and attentive to my needs. It’s a lovely and relaxing environment. Mursal gives such wonderful treatments. She is very knowledgable about skin care and very gentle in the application of the products. I see her every 6 weeks for a facial and my skin has never looked better.
Patients come to Cannelle in Oxford for Morpheus8 Body when they want to tighten loose skin, improve texture or address areas that feel resistant to exercise or topical treatments. A typical journey begins with one treatment session to stimulate deep collagen remodelling and gradually improve firmness. Many patients benefit from a course of two to three sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, depending on the area and the level of correction required.
Morpheus8 Body is often combined with complementary treatments such as exosomes, polynucleotides or lymphatic massage to support healing, reduce inflammation and enhance skin quality. Patients frequently notice a smoother feel in the treated areas early on, followed by progressive tightening and contouring as new collagen forms.
Because Morpheus8 Body works on the deeper layers of the skin, results are natural, gradual and long-lasting, making it an excellent option for those seeking a non-surgical approach to body rejuvenation and skin strength.
Morpheus 8 Body offers a powerful yet natural way to strengthen the deeper layers of the skin, improve firmness and refine overall texture.

Patients often value the way Morpheus 8 Body fits into a wider treatment plan, offering long term confidence and a healthier, more resilient appearance.
