Morpheus8 vs Candela Matrix RF: What’s the Difference?

So you’ve started your search for radio frequency microneedling treatments. At this point, you’ve probably come across a bunch of different devices and treatments that promise the best results like Candela Matrix RF and Morpheus8. Both of these innovative procedures utilize next-gen technology to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness. However, figuring out which treatment is the right one for you can be confusing and overwhelming. At CLEO, we love helping to answer these questions for our guests and finding the treatment that’s right for them.

The Lowdown on Candela Matrix RF Microneedling

Matrix RF microneedling merges microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to trigger collagen synthesis and improve skin texture. This is an excellent treatment for those looking to addressing concerns such as wrinkles, scars, fine-lines and overall skin texture and tone. During the procedure, a device equipped with small needles is employed to make microchannels in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing response, producing new collagen and elastin fibers. Furthermore, the application of radiofrequency energy aids in tightening and firming the skin, leading to a revitalized and younger-looking complexion.

The Lowdown on Morpheus8

Morpheus8 addresses a similar scope of skin concerns to that of the MatrixRF, including its safety and efficacy across all skin types. However, most Morpheus8 treatments will involve a higher level of invasiveness as the device penetrates deeper than the Matrix to remodel subdermal fat. Outside of anti-aging and texture concerns, many customers will choose this treatment for facial and body contouring. Kim Kardashian recently shared her story around this treatment being a game changer for stomach tightening.

Choosing the right treatment for you

Making the choice in between Candela Matrix RF and Morpheus8 should ultimately come down to your specific concerns and treatment goals. For those that are primarily focused on signs of aging, improving skin texture and tightening, the Candela Matrix RF treatment is likely going to be your best option — especially for first-timers. However, if you are more focused on subdermal adipose remodeling (especially for the body) Morpheus8 microneedling is likely the better treatment for you.
