What Is morpheus8?
At Iteld Plastic Surgery, our team utilizes an innovative treatment known as radiofrequency (RF) microneedling, which offers outstanding results for patients who are looking for more advanced skin rejuvenation options that don't involve surgery. Similar to typical microneedling, the RF microneedling procedure with Morpheus8™ technology employs tiny needles to delicately penetrate the skin, except it takes it one step further by incorporating strong radiofrequency energy into the depths of the skin. Our approach, which is done using the sophisticated Morpheus8™ system, jumpstarts your body's elastin and collagen production while at the same time boosting the tone and tautness of your complexion. RF microneedling may help to create a more luminous, youthful appearance in addition to offering a solution for skin tightening and acne reduction. We welcome you to connect with our Chicago, IL practice at your convenience to hear more and schedule your consultation with Dr. Lawrence Iteld and our team.
How Does RF Microneedling Work?
RF microneedling treatments with Morpheus8 at Iteld Plastic Surgery are customizable, allowing us to serve patients with a wide range of skin types and complexion issues. To start, we'll apply a topical anesthetic to your skin to help you remain relaxed throughout the procedure. Dr. Iteld is also pleased to offer Pro-Nox™, a non-narcotic pain management solution that functions similarly to nitrous oxide, for patients who need extra assistance managing their nerves. Morpheus8 RF microneedling is performed with a tool that utilizes ultrafine needles to make tiny injuries that "disrupt" the tissues and boost collagen creation. During this process, the needles deliver pulses of radiofrequency power into the skin to encourage skin tightening and a youthful appearance. Through this cutting-edge mechanism, individuals normally obtain long-lasting enhancements that keep getting better over the next few months. The process is quick and comfortable and allows you to get back to your daily routine with no significant recovery time.
What Are the Benefits of RF Microneedling?
There are many factors that can impact your skin's health and appearance, including age, UV exposure, stress, pollution, and gravity. Over time, these issues can take their toll by causing your skin to become tired and worn. Individuals dealing with wrinkled or saggy skin in Chicago, IL are often amazed at the results they get from RF microneedling with benefits that include:
- Boosts the body's organic elastin and collagen production for continued outcomes
- Smoother, hydrated skin that has a natural glow
- Improves the skin's texture and tone
- Tightens skin and improves the appearance of cellulite
- Reduces the visibility of stretch marks and scars
- No recovery time
Iteld Plastic Surgery Reviews
I can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Iteld and his team. Everything from the consult -> surgery -> post OP care has been extremely thorough and attentive. Dr. Iteld is very caring and a professional in every manner. Would recommend him to everyone!!Additionally, the rest of the team has been such a pleasure to interact with. Shout out to Caryle and Ashley. I look forward to my appointments because I get to interact with these lovely people!!
I had the most positive experience with Dr Iteld. He was thoughtful and thorough and I trusted him 100% with my surgery. It turned out even better than I imagined. His meticulous attention to detail is top notch, and his pain-free, non-narcotic recovery regimen is INCREDIBLE. I would recommend anyone to Dr Iteld’s practice for cosmetic surgery, and would also recommend Kimmy, their nurse aesthetician, for facial balancing. Such an awesome experience all around.
Incredible Work - I had the most positive experience with Dr Iteld. He was thoughtful and thorough and I trusted him 100% with my breast augmentation and mastopexy surgery. It turned out even better than I imagined. His meticulous attention to detail is top notch, and his pain-free non-narcotic recovery regimen is INCREDIBLE. I would recommend anyone to Dr Iteld’s practice for cosmetic surgery, but especially for a personalized, well contemplated breast surgery.
I had a wonderful experience with Dr Iteld and his team. They were very accommodating and helpful. They went above and beyond my expectations especially their Nurse specialist.
Amazing! - Dr. Iteld is absolutely amazing! The process has been so seamless from start to finish and his staff is fantastic. I had a breast augmentation and I have felt absolutely zero pain since my procedure (which is such a different experience my friends had with other surgeons). I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Iteld!

Our Featured Work
What is the difference between RF microneedling and traditional microneedling?
Traditional microneedling focuses on surface-level collagen stimulation. We perform RF microneedling using Morpheus8, an advanced system that allows for precise, customizable treatment across both the face and body. It adds radiofrequency energy beneath the skin, which lets our aesthetic team treat deeper layers and improve firmness, not just texture.
This makes it a better option for patients who want more noticeable improvement in overall skin quality.
What areas can be treated with RF microneedling?
RF microneedling can be used on the face, neck, and décolletage, as well as larger body areas.
With Morpheus8 Body, our aesthetic team can treat expanded areas such as the abdomen, arms, thighs, and the back. Because we can adjust depth and energy, each area is treated differently based on your skin and your goals.
What skin concerns does RF microneedling improve?
RF microneedling is designed to improve both the look and structure of your skin.
Our aesthetic team commonly uses it to treat fine lines, mild skin laxity, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture. It can also help improve overall tone and skin quality across both the face and body.
How many RF microneedling treatments will I need?
Some patients see improvement after one treatment, but most benefit from a series of three to four sessions spaced about four to six weeks apart.
This allows your skin time to build collagen between treatments and helps create more consistent, longer-lasting results.
When will I see results from RF microneedling?
You may notice some early improvement in texture within the first few weeks, but the most meaningful changes develop gradually as collagen production increases.
Is there downtime after RF microneedling?
Downtime is minimal. You may have redness and mild swelling for a few days, similar to a light sunburn.
Most patients return to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours.
Is RF microneedling painful?
Most patients tolerate RF microneedling well. Our aesthetic team applies a topical numbing cream before treatment to keep you comfortable.
You may feel some pressure or heat during the procedure, but it is generally manageable.
Is RF microneedling safe for all skin types?
RF microneedling is generally safe for a wide range of skin types when performed with the appropriate technique and settings.
During your consultation, we evaluate your skin to determine whether this treatment is the right fit for you.
Can RF microneedling tighten skin?
RF microneedling can help improve mild to moderate skin laxity by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
While it does not replace surgery, it is a strong option for patients who want to improve firmness without a surgical procedure.
Can RF microneedling treat acne scars?
Yes. RF microneedling is often used to improve acne scars, especially those that extend deeper into the skin.
By stimulating collagen in targeted areas, it helps smooth and refine uneven texture over time.
How long do RF microneedling results last?
Results can last for many months, and often longer, depending on your skin and how you maintain it.
Because your skin continues to age, maintenance treatments may be recommended to help preserve your results.
Can RF microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Depending on your goals, we may recommend combining it with medical-grade skincare, laser treatments, or injectables to improve overall skin quality and create more balanced results.
Who is a good candidate for RF microneedling?
RF microneedling is a good option for patients who want to improve skin quality without surgery.
