Advanced RF energy for skin renewal
Morpheus8 Burst by InMode is an advanced fractional bipolar radiofrequency (RF) treatment for face and body — designed to deliver RF energy at multiple tissue depths in a single pass for more efficient, deeper collagen and elastin remodeling.
What is Morpheus8 Burst?
Morpheus8 Burst is InMode’s advanced fractional bipolar radiofrequency (RF) technology for skin renewal on the face and body. The device delivers RF energy through small pins — the pins are the delivery method; the therapeutic effect comes from the RF energy, not from any mechanical action.
The “Burst” innovation allows the device to deliver RF energy at multiple tissue depths in a single pass, making treatment more efficient than traditional single-depth RF and helping to stimulate collagen and elastin remodeling in multiple layers simultaneously. Because tissue renewal is a biological process, results develop gradually over weeks to months.
What makes Burst different?
Traditional fractional RF treats one depth per pass. Burst technology treats multiple depths simultaneously — a more efficient way to trigger comprehensive tissue remodeling.
Multi-depth in one pass
RF energy is delivered at multiple tissue depths simultaneously — comprehensive stimulation without multiple treatment passes.
More efficient sessions
The efficiency of the Burst mode helps make in-office sessions more time-effective compared to traditional fractional RF.
Deeper collagen remodeling
By reaching multiple tissue layers, Burst is designed to trigger collagen and elastin renewal in a more comprehensive pattern.
Morpheus8 Burst may be right for you if…
Morpheus8 Burst is often considered by patients wanting more than surface-level skincare can deliver — a way to address common concerns without committing to more invasive procedures.
Fine lines & wrinkles
If you’re noticing fine lines, crow’s feet, or wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, or mouth, Morpheus8 Burst is designed to stimulate the collagen that supports smoother skin texture.
Sagging & laxity
For mild-to-moderate skin laxity — including jowls, neck, and jawline changes — Burst may help support tissue tone through deeper collagen remodeling.
Texture & acne scars
Patients with uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, or acne scars may benefit from the tissue remodeling response Burst is designed to trigger.
Body applications
Morpheus8 Burst can also be used on body areas — including the abdomen, thighs, and arms — for stretch marks, texture, and skin quality concerns.
How fractional bipolar RF works
The Morpheus8 Burst applicator has small pins on its surface. During treatment, the pins briefly enter the skin and deliver bipolar RF energy at controlled depths — creating microscopic zones of heated tissue in a precise, fractional pattern. Because only a fraction of the tissue is treated at a time, the surrounding untreated tissue helps guide rapid, controlled healing.
In the days and weeks after treatment, the body responds to these controlled thermal zones by producing new collagen and elastin. Because collagen remodeling is a natural biological process, results develop gradually — typically continuing to improve for weeks and even months after the series is complete.

Morpheus8 Burst in practice
See the technology in action and review results from our patients. Individual results vary based on skin type, age, treatment plan, and other personal factors.
Please note: Photos reflect individual patient experiences. Your specific results will depend on your skin type, age, treatment plan, and other personal factors. Dr. Gabal and her team will discuss realistic expectations during your consultation.
What to expect
Skin preparation
The treatment area is cleansed and prepared.
Topical numbing
A topical numbing agent is applied and given time to work.
RF treatment
The Burst applicator delivers RF energy in a fractional pattern.
Aftercare guidance
You’ll receive specific aftercare instructions for the days ahead.
A personalized series of treatments
Morpheus8 Burst is most effective as a series. Many patients see meaningful results with 3 or more treatments spaced several weeks apart — allowing the collagen remodeling process to progress between sessions.
Because RF works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen and elastin renewal, results continue to develop for weeks and months after your final session. Your specific treatment plan will be tailored to your goals during consultation.
Some brief recovery is expected
Because Morpheus8 Burst delivers RF energy deeper than surface-only treatments, some post-treatment reaction is normal — most commonly redness, mild swelling, and pinpoint marks from the pins for a few days. Sensitivity to sun exposure is heightened for a period after treatment.
Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions — including guidance on skincare products, sun protection, makeup timing, and any activity restrictions. Most patients return to work and daily activities quickly, though individual recovery varies.
