South Bay RF Microneedling for Skin Tightening and Texture
Morpheus8 blends microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel collagen and tighten tissue on the face and body. Our Torrance clinic serves Redondo Beach, Gardena, Lomita, Carson, Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills Estates, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, and San Pedro. We tailor depth, energy, and pass count to your goals.
Most sessions take 30-60 minutes with minimal downtime. We set expectations and create a treatment plan you can follow with confidence.
Insulated needles deliver controlled radiofrequency heat into the dermis and subdermis. The heat creates precise coagulation zones that stimulate new collagen and elastin, and the needles form microchannels that support remodeling. By adjusting tip, depth, density, and energy, we target laxity, texture, scars, and stretch marks safely.
Responses vary by individual. We set parameters to your skin type and medical history.
| Area | Primary goals | Typical approach | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full face | Texture, fine lines, mild laxity | Variable depths by zone, cross-hatch passes | Most popular |
| Jawline and jowls | Early jowling, contour support | Deeper subdermal heating along mandibular border | Pairs well with neck |
| Neck and submental | Creping, banding, laxity | Stacked passes with conservative depths | Firming over 8-12 weeks |
| Under eye and periorbital | Crepiness, fine lines | Shallow passes with narrow tips | Sensitive skin requires expertise |
| Cheeks and acne scars | Atrophic scars, pores | Cross-hatch with higher edge energy | Series improves smoothness |
| Upper lip | Vertical lines | Low depth with multiple light passes | Subtle softening |
| Abdomen and stretch marks | Striae texture and recoil | Staggered depths to reach dermal bands | Visible changes after session 2-3 |
| Arms and knees | Creping and rippling | Subdermal coagulation for tightening | Often part of a series |

…after three days, makeup sat smoother and the tiny bumps on my cheeks looked flatter. By week six my acne scars were softer without that overdone look.
Rachel M., Manhattan Beach
…after two sessions, my jawline felt firmer and the early jowls softened. Friends said I looked rested, not different.
Thomas K., Palos Verdes
…the under-eye crepiness that showed in photos smoothed out gradually. Redness lasted two days and then I was camera ready.
Lila P., Redondo Beach
…as someone with a deeper skin tone I asked a lot of questions. They adjusted settings and my tone stayed even while texture improved.
Maya R., Carson
…my stretch marks faded from bright lines to softer lines. I noticed better skin snapback after the second visit.
