What Affects the Total Cost?
While our per-session prices are fixed, your total investment depends on several factors:
- Treatment area: Facial treatments cover the face and neck. Body treatments target areas like the abdomen, arms, inner thighs, or knees — larger areas require more time and energy
- Treatment depth: Morpheus8’s microneedles penetrate between 0.5 mm and 8 mm depending on the zone and objective. Deeper settings address more severe laxity; shallower settings target surface texture and pores
- Number of sessions: Most patients need 2 to 4 sessions for optimal results
- Physician expertise: Morpheus8 requires precise knowledge of facial anatomy to adjust depth, energy, and treatment pattern. At Elyzea, Dr. Geldres — a board-certified plastic surgeon — performs all procedures
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions depends on your goals and skin condition:
- Preventive rejuvenation (30s): 2 sessions are typically sufficient
- Moderate laxity and wrinkles: 3 sessions is the most common protocol
- Advanced laxity or acne scarring: 4 sessions for best results
- Session spacing: Every 4 to 6 weeks apart
- Maintenance: 1 session annually to sustain results
When Will I See Results?
Morpheus8 activates an internal collagen remodeling process that develops gradually:
- Week 1: Skin feels noticeably firmer and tighter — the immediate effect of thermal contraction
- Weeks 3–6: Progressive improvement in texture, pore size, and firmness as new collagen forms
- Months 2–3: Full results — peak collagen and elastin production
Results last 1 to 2 years, depending on age, lifestyle, and post-treatment care. An annual maintenance session significantly extends the benefits.
What Does Morpheus8 Treat?
Morpheus8 is one of the most versatile treatments in aesthetic medicine:
- Facial and neck laxity: Non-surgical lifting effect
- Wrinkles and fine lines: Especially effective around the eyes and mouth
- Enlarged pores: Visibly reduces pore size
- Acne scars: Deep remodeling of scar tissue
- Uneven texture: Evens out skin tone and texture
- Stretch marks: Significant improvement in both recent and mature stretch marks
- Body laxity: Abdomen, arms, and thighs after weight loss

Morpheus8 at Elyzea — the real device matters
Morpheus8 is a registered InMode trademark — there is one device that is actually called Morpheus8, and it is FDA-cleared with gold-plated insulated needles, depth control from 1 to 4 mm in 0.5 mm steps, and real-time tissue impedance monitoring. The Lima market has a flood of Chinese RF-microneedling clones marketed as "Morpheus" or similar names; these clones cannot reproduce the depth precision or impedance control of the genuine product. At Elyzea, the Morpheus8 unit is genuine InMode, with original consumable tips and InMode service tracking. For darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI), Morpheus8 is often the safer non-surgical resurfacing option compared to ablative CO₂. Per the price list: Morpheus8 facial S/2,000 (~US$571) per session, body S/3,000 (~US$857) per session. Standard protocol is 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Morpheus8 cost in Lima compared to the US?
A full-face Morpheus8 session at Elyzea costs $571 USD. In the United States, the same procedure runs $1,500 to $2,500 per session at most clinics. Body Morpheus8 at Elyzea is $857 vs. typical US pricing of $2,500–$4,000 per area.
Is the Morpheus8 device at Elyzea the genuine InMode device?
Yes. Elyzea uses the original InMode Morpheus8 system — the same device used in US dermatology and plastic surgery clinics. Counterfeit microneedling-RF systems exist in some markets; Elyzea's serial-numbered InMode device is verifiable on request and is the same hardware that produces the FDA-cleared clinical results.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients need 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal collagen remodeling. Some indications (deep acne scars, marked skin laxity) benefit from a 4th session. Results continue to improve for 3–6 months after the final session as collagen production peaks.
How painful is Morpheus8?
Pre-treatment topical anesthesia is applied 30–45 minutes before the session, and at Elyzea Dr. Geldres can add a nerve block or, for body Morpheus8, coordinate with the on-site anesthesiologist for deeper comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a strong vibration with intermittent heat — manageable with the standard numbing protocol.
When will I see results?
Skin texture and tightness changes are visible at 3–4 weeks. Final results — including scar improvement, pore reduction, and lift — peak at 3–6 months as the new collagen scaffold fully forms. Results last 1–2 years on average; annual maintenance is common.
Why Elyzea is different in Lima
Three things separate Elyzea from most aesthetic-medicine providers operating in Lima and across Latin America. First, we use real, manufacturer-genuine equipment — not the Chinese imitations sold under similar-sounding brand names that flood the regional market. Whether the procedure involves a HIFU platform, a CO₂ laser, a Morpheus8 unit, a picosecond laser, or any other technology, the device is the genuine FDA-cleared (or equivalent) product, with manufacturer service contracts and original consumables. Second, an MD anesthesiologist is on-site for procedures that require it. Topical numbing alone is inadequate for many protocols at the depth or energy that actually delivers results; on-site anesthesia means we can run the protocol as designed without forcing patients to grit through pain or quietly reducing energy mid-procedure. Third, a full clinical setup includes a treatment room, an anesthesia bay with proper emergency equipment, a private recovery room where patients can decompress 30–60 minutes before leaving, and a dispensary that stocks post-procedure care products. Not a single-bed spa room.
For patients flying to Lima from the US, Canada, Europe, or other Latin American countries, this clinical infrastructure is the prerequisite — not a marketing add-on. When you're a medical tourist, you don't have a local primary-care doctor and you don't have family in the same time zone. The clinic itself has to be capable of handling whatever happens during and after the procedure, in real time.
What the free virtual consultation covers
The 45-minute free virtual consultation with Dra. Geldres is the starting point for any treatment plan. We review your goals in detail, your medical history including current medications and skincare routine, photos of the area or concern (taken with consistent lighting), and any prior aesthetic treatments and their outcomes. We then discuss realistic options for your specific case, what each delivers, what each does not, and what a sensible sequence looks like if multiple modalities are appropriate.
For medical-tourism patients, the consultation also covers travel logistics: trip length, hotel recommendations in Miraflores, what to bring, when to arrive relative to the procedure, and what to plan for the recovery window. The goal is that you arrive in Lima with a clear plan and no surprises — and the freedom to redirect or decline anything that isn't right for you. The consultation is genuinely free and does not commit you to anything.
