Treatment Overview
Morpheus8 Stretch Mark Therapy in Korea is an advanced fractional radio-frequency (RF) microneedling treatment by InMode, designed to improve the appearance of stretch marks by remodeling collagen and elastin in both the skin and underlying tissues. Unlike creams or superficial treatments, Morpheus8 penetrates deeply into the dermis and subcutaneous layers, addressing stretch marks at their root while tightening and resurfacing the skin.
Korean dermatology and aesthetic clinics often recommend Morpheus8 for stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, breasts, and arms. It is frequently combined with BodyTite (RFAL fat and skin tightening), Forma (RF skin firming), or Evolve series treatments for a comprehensive body rejuvenation program.

- Texture Refinement: Smooths rough or crepey skin.
