How Should I Prepare for Morpheus8?
Before your Morpheus8 treatment, it’s crucial to avoid the following:
- Direct sun exposure for at least two weeks
- Blood-thinning medications and supplements for at least one week
- Products that could irritate your skin, such as retinoids and acids, for at least one week
- Exfoliating your skin, whether with physical or chemical exfoliators, for at least one week
- Alcohol for at least 24 hours
After your consultation, we may also give you specific preparation instructions based on your skin type and concerns.
What to Expect During Your Morpheus8 Procedure
Here’s a step-by-step guide of what to expect during your Morpheus8 treatment. The entire procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes.
- Your skin will be cleansed to remove any makeup, dirt and oils. (We recommend removing all facial makeup before you come in for treatment, but we understand that this is not always possible.)
- A numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort.
- The Morpheus8 handpiece will be moved over your skin to deliver RF energy through tiny, gold-plated microneedles.
- As the needles create microchannels in your skin, the RF energy heats the underlying layers of your skin, stimulating collagen production and tissue remodeling.
How Many Morpheus8 Treatments Should I Get?
The number of Morpheus8 treatments you need will depend on your individual skin concerns and the results you want to achieve. Most patients see significant improvement after just one treatment, but certain skin issues may require multiple treatments to resolve. For the best and longest-lasting results, we generally recommend a series of three Morpheus8 treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. We may recommend additional treatments if you have more severe skin concerns or if you want to target multiple areas of your face and body.
