  • The FDA cleared Morpheus8 for contraction of soft tissue.
  • This is the first and only fractional radiofrequency microneedling technology approved for this indication.

The FDA has cleared the first and only fractional radiofrequency microneedling technology for contraction of soft tissue, InMode Ltd. announced in a press release.

Morpheus8 Applicators are used for the delivery of fractional radiofrequency in dermatologic skin procedures where coagulation or contraction of soft tissue or hemostasis is needed. The FDA’s clearance of these applicators expands Morpheus8’s existing FDA clearance.
