Understand Morpheus8 Burst and how it differs
What is Morpheus8 Burst?
Morpheus8 Burst is RF microneedling that delivers bipolar RF through small needles in a fractional pattern to contract tissue and remodel collagen. It is used to support smoother-looking, firmer skin. Your physician selects the tip, depth and energy pattern for the treatment area.
The energy pattern affects how heat develops in tissue. Your physician selects a mode for the treatment goal, from skin texture and firmness to excess fat in selected areas.
For example, Fixed mode holds the needles at a selected depth and delivers repeated RF pulses. A physician may consider it within a plan for localised excess fat, selecting depth and energy for the fatty tissue. Before treatment, clarify whether your goal is skin firmness alone or also addressing excess fat.
Read about Fixed mode and adipose-tissue treatment ↗Morpheus8 is also written as มอร์เฟียส 8 or มอเฟียส8 in Thai. Burst refers to the model family with multi-depth energy delivery.
How does Morpheus8 Burst differ from Morpheus8?
Both use RF microneedling: small needles deliver RF into the skin. The current Morpheus8 Burst system adds BURST and SCALE functionalities to organise depth and energy delivery during one insertion.
BURST delivers energy sequentially at several physician-selected depths. SCALE varies energy by depth, delivering more at deeper levels and less towards shallower tissue. This lets the physician plan both the tissue depth to address and the energy delivered at each level.
Morpheus8 names several models, and some earlier Morpheus8 Body models already offer Burst mode. When comparing programmes, ask which tip is used and which BURST or SCALE functionalities it supports.
See how BURST and SCALE work ↓How do Morpheus8 Burst and Burst Deep differ?
Morpheus8 Burst and Burst Deep use different handpieces. This page distinguishes Burst for the face from the 40-pin Burst Deep handpiece for the body. Tip choice should match the treatment area and the physician’s assessment.
02 / PERSONALISED DEPTH
Different areas of skin
call for different care
Depth selection starts with assessment of the skin in the treatment area. Your physician considers the tip and RF energy together when planning care for firmness and texture.
Tips, depth, energy and research
Still from an InMode mechanism animation, not a treatment photograph or actual result. Depth and energy selection depend on the physician’s plan.
Choosing the tip, depth and energy
01Tip
Choose the tip for the treatment area
Precision starts with the tip design. Morpheus8 Burst offers interchangeable tips, while Burst Deep uses a 40-needle tip for larger areas. Your physician selects the tip for the area and treatment plan.
- Prime 12 needlesThe 12-needle tip in the Burst family
- Burst 24 needlesA tip for multi-depth energy plans
- Resurfacing 24 needlesA tip design for superficial skin treatment
- Burst Deep 40 needlesA larger contact area for body treatment
Needle count describes the tip, not the programme’s shot count.
View and compare all IgniteRF handpieces02Depth
How is needle depth selected?
Your physician selects depth in relation to the thickness of the skin and tissue in that area. Manufacturer information gives a combined range of 0.5–7 mm across the Burst and Burst Deep tip families, with different depths supported by each tip. Greater depth is therefore not appropriate for every area.
What does the 0.5–7 mm range mean?
- Burst Resurfacing · 24 needles
- 0.5 mm
- Burst Prime · 12 needles
- 1–4 mm
- Burst · 24 needles
- 1–5 mm
- Burst Deep · 40 needles
- 2–7 mm
These are needle-depth ranges for each tip in manufacturer information. The heat profile describes the additional region affected by heat; it is not extra needle penetration.
Tip and depth information from InMode ↗03Energy
What does RF energy do?
Morpheus8 delivers bipolar RF through electrodes on the needle array to generate heat in the targeted tissue. Needle depth and energy should be planned together for tissue contraction and collagen remodelling.
Explore bipolar and monopolar RF ↓Bipolar RF and monopolar RF
How do they differ?
The difference is where heat is produced. Compare Morpheus8, which uses microneedles, with XERF, which places an applicator against the skin.
| Comparison point | Bipolar RFMorpheus8 Burst | Monopolar RFXERF |
|---|---|---|
| Heating pattern | Energy at selected points at the chosen depth | Heat distributed across the treatment area |
| Energy delivery | Morpheus8 uses microneedles to deliver energy at the depth selected by your physician, allowing precise placement of heat. | XERF delivers energy through an applicator against the skin, without needles. Heat spreads across the width and depth of tissue beneath it. |
| What does it address? | Targets smoother-looking skin, fine lines and firmness together. | Targets laxity in areas such as the cheeks, jawline and neck for firmer-looking skin. |
| Applicators and frequencies | Bipolar RF can be used with or without needles. Morpheus8 uses microneedles. | XERF uses two frequencies, 6.78 and 2 MHz, and is a monopolar RF device. |
Choose what suits your skin
Both can improve firmness. A small XERF study also reports findings on wrinkles, skin evenness and pores.
Your physician assesses your skin, treatment area and goals to choose a suitable approach and treatment plan.

BURST and SCALE
How do they support skin treatment?
BURST and SCALE organise multi-level bipolar RF delivery during one insertion, allowing the physician to plan depth and energy distribution in greater detail.
BURST
Multiple depths
in one shot
What is BURST?
BURST delivers RF sequentially at several depths during one needle insertion, according to the levels selected by the physician.
How does this help with treatment planning?
Energy can cover several tissue levels at the same treatment position to address firmness in the planned area.
SCALE
Energy scaled
by tissue depth
What is SCALE?
SCALE adjusts RF energy for the selected depths, delivering more at deeper levels and reducing it as the needles move towards shallower tissue.
How does this help with treatment planning?
It allows the physician to vary energy and heat delivery by tissue level, planning each area in terms of both depth and energy.
