A used Morpheus8 listing does not always include a console: a 2022 Morpheus8 face handpiece alone was listed at $4,500.
A Potenza AC handpiece alone was listed at $5,000, so check both listings name a console before you compare prices.
Price new and used
Used Morpheus8 and Potenza systems have close median asks as of November 2026: $23,750 for Morpheus8 across 13 listings and $22,899 for Potenza across 5.
Current Potenza listings and the full spec sheet are on the used Potenza price and spec page.
The Morpheus8 range is wide because the console varies: an Embrace RF with a face handpiece was listed at $12,995, and a 2022 Optimas with Morpheus8, Diolaze and Lumecca at $79,000.
Complete RF Pro or RF workstation systems with face and body handpieces, built 2019–2022, were listed at $16,995–$39,500 by 5 sellers on DOTmed.
A 2024 IgniteRF with Morpheus8 Burst handpieces was listed at $65,899, a separate tier from RF Pro units.
Potenza asks run from $14,500 to $46,000, with a 2021 unit at $22,899, a 2023 unit at $29,950 and a 2022 unit at $46,000 at the top.
Neither device has a verified new list price, so we show no discount to new.
These are asking prices from dealers and clinics, not sale prices.
Consumables and tip cost per treatment
A Morpheus8 treatment uses a single-use tip that resellers list at $60–$195 as of November 2026, while no verified Potenza tip price was found.
| Tip | Seller type | Asking price, November 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Morpheus8 24-pin standard, 12-pin Prime or resurfacing, box of 4 | Reseller | $670 per box, about $167.50 per tip |

These are reseller prices, not InMode list prices.
Tip costs for other RF microneedling systems sit in the consumables table that sets Morpheus8 tips against other devices.
For Potenza, get a dated tip quote from the seller or a supplier before you pay for the system.
Transfer fee and software lock
Neither InMode nor Cynosure publishes a transfer fee for a used Morpheus8 or Potenza, as of November 2026.
- InMode (Morpheus8): its 2025 Form 20-F and US customer-service page contain no transfer, recertification or pre-owned policy.
- Cynosure (Potenza): its published terms of sale list no transfer, relicensing or recertification fee for used systems.
InMode generally gives a 12-month warranty and then sells support as a service contract, so ask the seller whether any warranty or service contract remains on a used Morpheus8.
InMode describes each product as a platform, handpieces, a disposable tip and proprietary software, so confirm the software runs the handpieces you are buying.
Get written confirmation of who will sell you tips before you pay for either system.
Treatments each device is cleared for
Morpheus8 and Potenza are both FDA-cleared through 510(k) for electrocoagulation and hemostasis, not for wrinkles or skin tightening.
Morpheus8
- K200947 (July 2, 2020): "for use in dermatological procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis".
- K231790 (July 20, 2023): adds use where coagulation/contraction of soft tissue or hemostasis is needed.
- K240017 (June 13, 2024): Morpheus8 90 applicator, with the same soft-tissue wording.
Potenza
- K192545 (February 20, 2020): "for use in dermatologic and general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis".
- K201685 (2021), K231287 (2024) and K231216 (2024) carry the same indication, all held by Jeisys Medical.
InMode publicized the soft-tissue clearance in July 2024, but the FDA decision with that wording dates from July 20, 2023.
Footprint and power
The InMode platform in the Morpheus8 K200947 filing measures 46 × 46 × 100 cm (18.2 × 18.2 × 40 in), weighs 30 kg (70.4 lb) and runs on 100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz.
The Morpheus8 applicator weighs 0.4 kg (0.88 lb).
Morpheus8 handpieces run on several InMode consoles, so ask the seller for the dimensions of the console being sold.
Potenza's size, weight and power supply are not in the filings we hold, so ask for the operator manual.
Which clinics should buy which
This is our editorial opinion, based on the specs and prices above.
Choose Morpheus8 when:
- you already own an InMode console such as Optimas, BodyTite or EmbraceRF that runs Morpheus8 handpieces;
- you treat body areas and want the 40-pin tip's 7.0 mm depth;
- you want tip prices you can compare across several resellers before you buy.
Choose Potenza when:
- you want monopolar and bipolar RF at 1 MHz or 2 MHz on one console;
- 4.0 mm depth covers your case mix;
- patients ask for Potenza by name and you have a confirmed tip supplier.
FDA cleared Potenza Prime in September 2026, so the used Potenza listings read in November 2026 are the original generation.
If neither fits, compare other used RF microneedling machines that rival Morpheus8 and Potenza by depth and price.
