Morpheus8
in Houston, TX
Morpheus8 is the latest safe, noninvasive skin resurfacing treatment available in Houston. It’s perfect for taking years off the appearance without surgery and very little downtime. This simple in office procedures is comfortable and only requires some light topical numbing cream.
With natural aging, skin may unfortunately begin to look dull and loose its luster, showing off a maze of fine lines and wrinkles. Years of sun exposure can also mean sun spots, discoloration and areas of hyperpigmentation that detract from a once even-toned complexion. Acne scars, rough patches, and stretchmarks take the place of smooth, youthful skin. Traditionally, the only successful methods for skin rejuvenation have required multiple treatment modalities or risky laser resurfacing techniques.
Luckily now, Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics offers a safe, non-surgical solution to restore the skin’s youthful radiance and slow the effects of aging: Morpheus8. This unique, fractional radiofrequency (RF) skin rejuvenation treatment can safely and dramatically improve the skin’s appearance.
“Dr Gopahti is amazing! I went in to have Morpheus8 done. I had 3 sessions and I see the difference. I would recommend getting Morpheus8 done with Dr Gopathi and her team.”

MORPHEUS-8 IN
Morpheus8’s combination of microneedling and localized heat helps to boost the body’s production of collagen and elastin, instantly improving the skin’s texture and tone. You will enjoy long term benefits as it propels the body to continue making these changes for months to come.
The resulting spike in collagen smooths out wrinkles and improves the appearance of scars, while evening out the skin tone and complexion. Morpheus8 makes an excellent choice for resurfacing and exfoliating the dry, damaged top layer of skin that comes with age and sun damage, while ensuring safety throughout treatment. Rather than recklessly ablating a large area of tissue, as with traditional laser treatments, Morpheus8 uses a compact series of micro-needles, penetrating the skin’s surface to apply RF heat waves deep within the dermis. The small, pin-points of RF energy stimulates the skin’s most important structural protein, collagen. The energy applied can be changed and will be personalized based on individual needs.
“Both men and women can benefit from skin resurfacing, as no one is immune to the effects of the aging process and the effects of the environment. Morpheus8 is an ideal treatment with little downtime. However, when Morpheus8 is combined with FaceTite, the results are extraordinary.”
– Dr. Ravi Somayazula

Over the last few years, CO2 and Erbium laser treatments have become very popular. While these treatments are similar to Morpheus8 as far as treatment benefits, the newer Morpheus8 RF treatments provide far better results but with much faster healing and recovery time, and with decreased risks of long-term side effects. Morpheus8 provides better results as the treatment allowing us to treat deeper lines and scarring versus the Matrix RF. As Morpheus8’s radiofrequency heating is color-blind, making the RF treatment is completely safe for all skin types, even those who spend a lot of time outdoors. Ultimately, Morpheus8 holds less risk for complications like hyperpigmentation, melasma, and sun sensitivity.
WHAT IS EMBRACE RF?
EmbraceRF is a combination treatment that is ideal for anyone not ready for a Facelift, but wanting to slow down the aging process. EmbraceRF is a combination of two InMode powerhouse technologies, FaceTite and Morpheus8.
The results are phenomenal with the heat-based skin tightening along with the only technology on the market that can cause subdermal adipose remodeling. Nothing else exists on the market that can achieve what this combination procedure can achieve, all without visible scars and face lift like results. The loose skin of the jawline and neck greatly improves while the skin of the entire face and neck becomes more youthful. All this while awake, home the same day, no discomfort, very little downtime and no visible scars.
THE IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR MORPHEUS-8
Morpheus8 is a safe and effective method for rejuvenating the skin without the risks associated with laser treatments or invasive surgery. The treatment is safe for all skin types and complexions. Even patients with sensitive tissues can safely choose Morpheus8 for their skin resurfacing needs.
An ideal candidate for Morpheus8 will be someone in overall good health, with a clear understanding of the treatment process, and have realistic expectations for their final results. Those who are pregnant, breast feeding, or struggling with an active skin infection may be encouraged to postpone their Morpheus8 treatment. If severe wrinkles or skin laxity is present, Morpheus8 may not be the best treatment option. During your consultation, Dr. Ravi and Dr. Gopathi can recommend the appropriate technique(s) for skin rejuvenation such as combination treatment with BodyTite PRO or Tummy Tuck.
YOUR MORPHEUS-8 CONSULTATION
Prior to scheduling your first Morpheus8 session, a private consultation will be arranged at the Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics’ Houston office. Plan on being at your initial consultation for 30-60 minutes, as we will take this time to get to know your individual needs and aesthetic goals.
Dr. Ravi and Dr. Gopathi strive to offer patient-centered care, creating a unique treatment plan for each individual. Your Morpheus8 consultation will begin with an in-depth skin assessment. The doctors will discuss your desires for both short-term and long-term improvements. Next, Dr. Ravi and Dr. Gopathi will carefully explain all of your treatment options, including Morpheus8, answering any questions that arise along the way. Finally, if Morpheus8 is determined to be the right technique for your needs, a customized treatment plan will be created, based on your desired results. At this time, our patient coordinator will also discuss the cost of treatment and all of your payment options.
MORPHEUS-8 FROM BODY BY RAVI PLASTIC SURGERY AND AESTHETICS
Dr. Ravi and Dr. Gopathi will perform your Morpheus8 session in one of the Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics’ private treatment rooms. Depending on the individual patient, the treatment can take from 45 minutes to two hours.
While most people find Morpheus8 easily tolerated, a local anesthetic or topical numbing cream will be applied before beginning the treatment, to ensure complete comfort. The doctor will then move the Morpheus8 hand piece along the predetermined area of tissue, gently passing the patented device over the skin. As the micro-pins brush the surface, fractional RF energy is delivered to the deepest tissues. Once the Morpheus8 treatment has finished, patients are free to return home and at home skin care regiment will be recommended for continued improvement.
GETTING BACK TO NORMAL AFTER YOUR MORPHEUS-8 SESSION
Downtime after a Morpheus8 session is minimal. Patients should expect redness, mild swelling, and areas of taut or ‘shiny’ skin for three to five days. Small, flaky scabs and peeling skin is common along the microlesions. During this time, it is important to keep the skin protected from direct sun exposure and generous use of SPF sunscreen. The treatment area should also stay moisturized, utilizing a recommended product such as Aquaphor. Makeup can once again be applied to the skin the following day. Most people are ready to return to work the day after treatment, as the irritation soon begins to fade. Before leaving the Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics’ office, our staff will carefully review all of the post-treatment instructions.
RESULTS FROM MORPHEUS-8
Many patients will see visible improvements in their skin’s texture and quality immediately after the Morpheus8 treatment. However, optimal results will take two to three weeks to appear, increasing as the collagen production gets under way. The skin will begin to look smoother and tighter, with a more even tone and brighter complexion. Patients can expect the benefits of Morpheus8 to gradually continue to increase for up to three full months. For the most desirable results, Dr. Ravi and Dr. Gopathi generally recommend between one and four Morpheus8 treatments, each scheduled three to five weeks apart. Morpheus8 can be performed alone, or combined with additional treatments, such as dermal fillers or Botox Cosmetic, for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment, utilizing a matrix of tiny micro-pins that generate RF heat deep in the skin. The treatment resurfaces the epidermis through a series of mini micro-channels that will warm these layers, thus enhancing the tissue’s natural collagen production. Morpheus8 provides youthful results with little downtime. Morpheus8 can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, smooth acne scaring, decrease the appearance of stretchmarks, and improve the skin’s texture.
The cost of Morpheus8 treatments can vary depending on several factors, including the number of sessions needed, the size of the treatment area, and any additional procedures combined with Morpheus8 to maximize your results. Typically, Morpheus8 treatments range between $600 – $1500 per session. The average cost for a full face and neck treatment tends to be around $1000 per session. For an accurate estimate of the cost tailored to your specific needs and goals, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our board-certified physicians who are experts at the Morpheus8 treatments. During the consultation, they can assess your individual concerns and provide you with a detailed quote based on your unique treatment plan.
Morpheus8 can significantly improve areas of hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, dull tissue, pore size, uneven tone, acne scars, active acne, stretchmarks, and lax skin.
Morpheus8 can be used almost anywhere on the face, neck, and body. The treatment is safe enough to be used on even the most delicate tissues around the mouth and upper/lower eyelids. Some of the most commonly requested treatment areas include the forehead, brows, cheeks, nasolabial folds, jawline, neck, arms, and hands.
Stretchmarks can arise from weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and childbirth, or the use of performance enhancing drugs. Morpheus8’s RF energy is the perfect treatment for anyone dealing with stretchmarks on the stomach, shoulders, buttocks, hips, thighs, or arms. Morpheus8 has the power to rebuild the existing collagen deep within the dermis, as well as generate new collagen stores, causing stretchmarks to fade away.
Morpheus8 can provide significant results for almost anyone struggling with mild to moderate wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, lax tissue, and scars. Potential patients should understand the treatment process and hold reasonable expectations for their results. Those patients with an active skin infection or are pregnant may be asked to postpone their Morpheus8 treatment.
Depending on the area being treated and the individual patient, each Morpheus 8 session may take from 45 minutes to two hours.
Some patients will immediately notice smoother, tighter skin. However, most Morpheus 8 results will take two to three weeks to appear, then continuing to improve over the next three months.
While every patient is different, on average, between one and four Morpheus8 sessions are necessary to achieve optimal results. Each Morpheus8 treatment should be spaced three to five weeks apart, giving the tissue time to heal between sessions.
For the first two weeks, while your skin is healing, it is extremely important to avoid direct sun exposure and wear a high SPF sunscreen at all times. Keep the treatment area moist and hydrated using a topical cream such as Aquaphor. Makeup can be worn after the first 48 hours.
Because Morpheus8 delivers pin-points of precisely controlled radiofrequency energy, the treatment is considered to be extremely safe. The mild side-effects from Morpheus8 may include temporary redness, light swelling, and dry, flaky skin. More serious complications are rare, although pain, blisters, scarring, and areas of hyperpigmentation can occur. During your Morpheus8 consultation at Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics, all of the potential side-effects will be discussed a length.
