**3. What is the morpheus concept?**

The Morpheus is a *"hand shake"* between the **BodyTite, FaceTite and AccuTite RFAL and the Fractora.** *Whereas Fractora was external, percutaneous DERMAL RFAL, the Morpheus is external RFAL applied to the Adipose and subdermal space* (**Figure 3**).

The Fractora, is a vertical, silicone coated, fractional RF *dermal remodeling system* that delivers fractional, monopolar-like, deep dermal ablative lesions with RF flowing from the positively charged tip of the silicone coated pins to very widely space negative return electrodes on the skin, resulting in a synchronous nonablative dermal remodeling. The Morpheus is a physiological handshake between these two concepts. It takes the silicone coated pins-electrodes of the Fractora and extends them into the superficial fat. Each pin-electrode, like the internal electrode of the RFAL BodyTite® family of applicators is silicone coated, except for the positively charged tip which releases strongly coagulative RF energy directly into the fat. The BodyTite® and RFAL applicators, and the Morpheus pin-electrodes result in adipose coagulation and ablation, which in turns provides significant FSN contraction and skin tightening. The RF flows up to the negative charged electrode, moving in tandem with the internal electrode along the surface of the skin and results in gentle dermal, non-ablative RF heating and dermal remodeling. The Morpheus return electrodes are also located on the skin, just static and not moving.
