Everything you need to know about Morpheus8 stretch mark removal treatment
If you are unhappy with visible stretch marks on your skin, you’re not the only one looking to make an improvement. However, many over-the-counter products talk about making these lines less noticeable when they don’t help at all. Instead, Dr. Rachel Fidino and her team at New U Women’s Clinic & Aesthetics of Yakima and Kennewick, Washington, might recommend a treatment known as Morpheus8. Let’s learn more about this treatment and how it works to improve the appearance of stretch marks.
What exactly is Morpheus8, and how does it help with stretch marks?
Our team best describes Morpheus8 as a revolutionary non-surgical treatment combining microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to rejuvenate and remodel the skin. It works by stimulating collagen and elastin production deep within the skin, which improves the appearance of stretch marks by smoothing and tightening the affected areas.
Is the treatment safe?
Absolutely! Morpheus8 is FDA-approved and has been carefully designed to be safe and effective for patients of all skin types. Plus, the treatment is precision-focused, meaning the energy is delivered exactly where needed without damaging the surrounding skin.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most of our patients feel only minimal discomfort during the procedure. Before we start, a numbing cream is applied to ensure you stay as comfortable as possible. Many patients say it feels like a warm prickling sensation that is definitely manageable.
How many sessions will I need to see results?
While everyone’s skin differs, most patients notice visible improvements after one to three sessions. Your treatment plan is tailored to your unique skincare needs, so our providers guide you on the optimal number of treatment sessions based on the severity of your stretch marks.

Is there any downtime after the procedure?
Great news: downtime is minimal! You might instantly experience a little redness and minor swelling following the treatment, but these usually decrease within a few days. Most of our patients are back to their usual routine shortly after.
Can Morpheus8 be used on all patient skin types?
Yes! One of the best things about Morpheus8 is its versatility. It is effective on all skin tones and ethnicities, making it an excellent option for anyone looking to reduce stretch marks or improve skin texture.
When will I start seeing results?
Patience makes perfect! While some patients notice initial improvements within a couple of weeks, the full results typically become significantly noticeable three to six months after treatment. That’s because it takes time for your body to produce all that lovely, new collagen!
Is Morpheus8 only for stretch marks, or does it treat other skin concerns, too?
While Morpheus8 is fantastic for stretch marks, it also reduces wrinkles, tightens loose skin, and improves uneven texture or acne scars. It’s great for overall skin rejuvenation and specific skin concerns.
