Morpheus8 RF microneedling channels radiofrequency thermal energy into subdermal tissue depths.
Our Morpheus8 RF microneedling Chicago suite at 400 South LaSalle Street combines mechanical micro-pin penetration with fractional radiofrequency heating. Each pass deploys 24 silicone-coated micro-pins that deliver controlled thermal pulses directly into deep dermal layers.
Sessions are priced between $800 and $2,500 based on the anatomical scope and number of passes. This aesthetic protocol stimulates natural structural remodeling without surgical excision. We state plainly: this is cosmetic subdermal care, not a medical cure for dermatological scarring or chronic dermatosis, and it does not replace a plastic surgeon or dermatologist.
Session Tiers & Area Pricing Schedule
We calculate Morpheus8 sessions based on anatomical zone breadth and energy pass depth. We do not use deceptive introductory prices that exclude mandatory disposable cartridges or topical preparations.
| Treatment Scope | Target Surface Area | Pin Depth Range | Per-Session Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lower Face & Jawline | Lower cheeks, perioral contours, jowl line, and upper submental area | 1.0 mm – 3.0 mm | $800 – $1,100 |
| Full Face & Submental | Forehead, peri-orbital temples, cheeks, perioral, and complete submental zone | 1.0 mm – 4.0 mm | $1,200 – $1,600 |
| Full Face, Neck & Décolleté | Complete facial zone, anterior neck, platysmal bands, and upper chest plate | 1.0 mm – 4.0 mm | $1,800 – $2,500 |
What your quote depends on: surface area square centimeters, depth configurations (1.0 mm superficial up to 4.0 mm subdermal), single session versus structured multi-session schedule, and topical aftercare kit selections.
Hardware Architecture & Practice Standing
Morpheus8 procedures at Glamorise are performed personally by our licensed cosmetologist, active in aesthetic practice since 2019 under Illinois state credentialing. Our studio has logged over 120 documented aesthetic procedures at 400 South LaSalle Street.
The Morpheus8 applicator delivers bipolar radiofrequency energy through a matrix of 24 micro-pins. The pin shafts are polymer-insulated along their length and emit thermal energy only from their gold-coated conductive tips. This preserves epidermal surface temperature while heating deeper collagen-dense tissue planes.
Hardware & Pin Specifications
-
PIN
Insulated Gold-Coated Micro-Pins
24 polymer-insulated needles prevent heat dispersal along epidermal transit channels, delivering energy exclusively at calibrated depth.
-
BUR
Burst-Mode Energy Stacking
Allows sequential pulse discharge across multiple depths in a single insertion cycle, reducing overall skin puncture passes.
The Five-Phase Appointment Protocol
RF microneedling is an intensive aesthetic appointment requiring deliberate preparation and post-procedure care. We budget a full 90-minute room block for each client.
-
01
Antiseptic Wash & Numbing Layer (40 Min)
Skin is cleansed with chlorhexidine antiseptic solution. We apply a thick 5% lidocaine and 2% tetracaine topical compound under plastic occlusive wrap for 35 to 40 minutes.
-
02
Numbing Removal & Zone Degreasing (5 Min)
Topical cream is systematically wiped off quadrant by quadrant. Skin is degreased with 70% isopropyl alcohol wipes to ensure dry electrical coupling.
-
03
Cartridge Mounting & Test Pulse (5 Min)
A fresh 24-pin Morpheus8 tip is removed from sterile blister packaging and calibrated. A test pulse is discharged on the outer jawline to confirm client comfort.
-
04
Systematic Grid Energy Passes (30–40 Min)
The handpiece stamp moves across marked facial zones with 30% overlap. High-depth pass (3.0–4.0 mm) is followed by a refining mid-dermal pass (1.5–2.0 mm).
-
05
Calming Compress & Lipid Barrier Application (10 Min)
We apply cold sterile saline gauze compresses, smooth a protective petroleum-free lipid barrier balm across treated contours, and dispense your home care kit.
Eligibility Criteria & Candidacy Disclosures
Mandatory Non-Medical Practice Declaration
Glamorise provides non-medical aesthetic and personal care sessions. These cosmetic services do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and do not replace consultation with a qualified medical doctor.
Who this session is NOT for:
- Individuals with implanted cardiac pacemakers, cardioverter defibrillators, or internal metal hardware in the face or neck area (radiofrequency currents interfere with electronic medical devices).
- Clients with active acne cysts, open cold sores, or bacterial impetigo in the treatment zone.
- Individuals with a history of hypertrophic or keloid scar formation.
- Pregnant women or nursing mothers without written clearance from their obstetrician.
- Anyone who has used oral Accutane (isotretinoin) within the preceding six months without written clearance from a board-certified dermatologist.
- Clients who received facial dermal fillers or Botox within the last 14 days (we require a minimum 2-week scheduling buffer to avoid displacing injectable materials).
