Dermapen 4 or Morpheus8

The two treatments start in the same place — fine channels that prompt your skin to rebuild — and then diverge. Morpheus8 sends radiofrequency through those needles into the deeper layers, which is what brings firmness into the conversation, and a few days of recovery with it.

Collagen MicroneedlingMedical

Dermapen 4

Stimulate your skin's natural repair process with the world's leading microneedling technology. Dermapen 4 creates controlled micro-channels that encourage collagen and elastin production while enhancing the absorption of professional serums. The result is smoother texture, firmer skin, refined pores, softened acne scars, and a healthier-looking complexion—with minimal downtime. Dermapen 4 is an advanced medical-grade microneedling treatment designed to improve overall skin quality by stimulating your body's natural collagen production. Using ultra-fine sterile needles, tiny micro-channels are created within the skin to trigger regeneration while allowing targeted serums to penetrate more effectively. This treatment can improve fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, pigmentation, and overall skin firmness. Every treatment is customized based on your skin condition and goals.

Morpheus8

Transform your skin from within with Morpheus8, an advanced radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatment designed to stimulate collagen production deep beneath the skin's surface. Unlike traditional microneedling, Morpheus8 combines ultra-fine microneedles with fractional RF energy to remodel tissue at multiple depths. This advanced technology helps tighten loose skin, smooth fine lines, improve acne scars, refine pores, and enhance overall skin texture while preserving the surrounding tissue. Suitable for both the face and body, Morpheus8 can address early signs of aging as well as more advanced skin concerns with minimal downtime. Every treatment at Minori Skincare is customized to your skin condition, treatment area, and aesthetic goals.

Side by side

Both are microneedling. Dermapen 4 works with micro-fine channels alone; Morpheus8 adds radiofrequency heat at depth, so it firms as well as refines.

Frequently asked

Is Morpheus8 simply a stronger Dermapen?

Not quite. Both create micro-channels that prompt the skin to renew itself, but Morpheus8 also sends radiofrequency heat through those needles into the deeper dermis, where collagen is remodelled. Dermapen 4 works with the channels alone and can be customized with serums.

Which is the gentler treatment?

Our menu describes Dermapen 4 as gently prompting the skin to rebuild itself, and Morpheus8 as a treatment that begins with a numbing step and leaves redness for a few days. Your provider will describe both in detail before you choose.

How often would I come in?

Our menu offers a three-session course for Dermapen 4 and a five-session course for Morpheus8. It does not set an interval between sessions, so that rhythm is decided with your provider once they have seen your skin.
