Morpheus8 real world reviews
Radiofrequency microneedling has become extremely popular the last few years, for both skin tightening and cellulite removal - and even for fibrosis reduction after lipo.
We have tried RF microneedling around 2014, way before it became popular around 2019 and all the rage around 2022, and found it lacking, both in terms of effectiveness and especially in terms of safety.
The best way to understand the reasoning for us not offering Morpheus8 or other RF microneedling is feedback and reviews from real people in the real world, as opposed to the virtual reality of instagram and tiktok.
Real world reviews show an average of 34% dissatisfaction rating. As you can see from the link, this high dissatisfaction rating mainly revolves around adverse reactions, with cases such as below.
This does not include the “Not sure” people who, if counted, would elevate the treatment dissatisfaction rating to 67% (correct on 7/2/2025, when this article was written).
This is not an opinion, this is real facts and lived experiences from real people. Here are some examples from patients themselves, in their own words:
Do not do it - marked my face & left needle marks & hyperpigmentation
Grid marks on stomach almost 6 months (now 18 months!!) later
Swollen lymph nodes in neck, major swelling & welts within 24 hours
Caused permanent damage - left me with advanced premature aging
Negative experience - the settings were too high for my skin type
As we do not want even 1%, let alone 34%, of our clients to be unhappy in this way, we do not offer this treatment at our clinic.
Given how lucrative this treatment is, we would love to offer such a technology at our clinic. Who doesn’t want to offer a “miracle” treatment and make lots of money in the process?
But this technique is neither safe enough for us to offer nor miraculous as touted. So we don’t do it.

Advanced, infrared / blue / red light therapy treatments in London at LipoTherapeia
At LipoTherapeia we are passionate about phototherapy (also known as photobiomodulation/PBM, red light therapy, infrared light therapy, blue light therapy, LED light therapy etc) and we use the most powerful equipment available today (up to 200mW/cm2), for best results and treatment of large body areas.
We use specialised therapy protocols for skin rejuvenation / anti-ageing, pigmentation / post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), moderate/severe acne, skin redness, sensitive/inflamed/irritated skin, wound healing, sports injuries / musculoskeletal pain and overall wellness / well-being.
Our LED phototherapy sessions are comfortable, deeply relaxing and super-safe and are great to enhance our radiofrequency/ultrasound treatments for skin tightening / cellulite reduction.
