Solaria by InMode is a carbon dioxide (CO2) fractional ablative resurfacing technology providing all the trusted benefits of traditional resurfacing with the advantages of fractional procedures. From fine lines to sun damage, this advanced, easy-to-use platform is your ultimate workhorse for treating a wide range of skin concerns. With Solaria, you can elevate your practice by offering the gold standard in skin resurfacing, CO2, and provide your patients with minimal downtime, natural-looking results.
Solaria fractional CO2 is a highly efficacious technology indicated for ablative skin resurfacing. Through radiofrequency excited CO2 microbeam technology, Solaria delivers precise treatments that leave surrounding tissue untreated, resulting in deep ablation, faster healing times, and reduced side effects across light and dark skin tones. Laser energy is distributed in a controlled, uniform pattern through Solaria’s articulated arm and scanner system. The adjustable scanner delivery system seamlessly switches between patterns for enhanced versatility. Featuring multiple scan modes, Solaria provides fully customized treatments that address the unique needs of each patient. Solaria features an intuitive, large digital screen that allows practitioners to effortlessly adjust treatment parameters for control and precision with the ability to select exact millijoules, scan patterns, ablation areas, and scanned zones.
Solaria helps improve fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, sunspots, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and more.
Downtime varies based on treatment depth. You may experience redness, swelling, and light peeling for 3–7 days. Most clients return to normal routines quickly.
Most patients see visible improvement after just one session, but a series of 1–3 treatments may be recommended depending on your skin concerns and goals.
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to ensure comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as warm and tingly.

Morpheus 8 is a safe and effective minimally invasive device designed for skin and subdermal fat remodeling. The handpiece utilizes gold-plated needle tips that deliver a burst of radiofrequency energy once fully deployed. The treatment depth is adjustable and can be tailored to each person’s specific anatomy and needs.
Additionally, Morpheus Burst combines microneedling with radiofrequency technology to tighten skin, reduce scars, and stimulate collagen production, delivering exceptional rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
Laser treatments can be performed in the office with topical numbing cream, nerve blocks, or under iv sedation, depending on how aggressive you want to be with the radiofrequency energy. Of course, the more aggressive we are with the power, the better the results.
Together, the mechanical stimulus from the Microneedling and the thermal stimulus from the Radiofrequency pulses promote the production of new collagen in the dermis to improve skin tone, skin texture, and firmness over 3-6 months. One of the exciting features of Morpheus 8 is that it is safe on all skin types, including darker skin tones, with little risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) that we sometimes see with other resurfacing methods.
Depending on your goals for the Optimus treatment, we usually recommend 1 to 3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart to start. We then typically recommend a yearly treatment for maintenance.
After the treatment, there is usually 2-5 days of mild redness over the treatment area, like a sunburn. Occasionally, the micro-channels created by the needle tips may be visible as small dots for a day or two.
Routine Optimus skin treatments have now been incorporated as an integral part of the RMA skincare paradigm. We are also seeing more and more patients request Optimus treatments as an add-on procedure to their basic skin care regimen and facial appointments.
