Before Treatment
In preparation for your Morpheus treatment, we recommend that you refrain from taking any blood thinning medications or supplements such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen, vitamin E, and fish oil. We also ask that you avoid any alcohol consumption at least 48 hours prior to your treatment. Avoid skin irritants and intentional tanning about 7 days prior and any active ingredients such as retinol 1 to 2 days before.
During Treatment
At the beginning of your Morpheus appointment, we will take the first few minutes to review your pre-treatment questionnaire and medical history. We will proceed with applying a topical lidocaine cream that we will leave on for about 30 minutes for comfort. We also offer ProNox (a light analgesic gas) for additional pain management. The treatment itself takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
After Treatment
You may expect redness, slight swelling, and minor bruising immediately after treatment, which are completely normal and will get progressively better over the next few days. Your skin may take 2 weeks to return to baseline and more sensitive areas such as the neck and décolleté up to 4 weeks. This is not a treatment to schedule right before an event.
Results & Timeline
Collagen remodeling is a gradual process so your best results will build over time. Most clients see significant improvement after a series of 3 sessions, spaced about 6 to 8 weeks apart. We typically recommend an annual maintenance treatment to top off your results. Depending on your skin’s laxity, texture, and thickness, results may vary for each patient. Best results can be seen 3 months after your last session in your series.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between SkinPen microneedling and Morpheus8 RF microneedling?
SkinPen is a collagen-stimulating treatment that improves surface concerns like texture, fine lines, enlarged pores, and mild acne scarring with little downtime.
Morpheus8 goes deeper by combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy, targeting both the surface and deeper layers of skin. It’s designed for tightening, contouring, and improving more advanced concerns like laxity, deeper wrinkles, and crepiness.
What does Morpheus feel like?
Our team will apply a topical numbing cream that we will leave on for about 30 minutes for comfort. We also offer ProNox (a light analgesic gas) for additional pain management. After the numbing cream takes effect, we’ll start off with a test area to see how you tolerate it. We like to use the word “spicy” to describe the sensation as most patients report mild discomfort, but feel it is tolerable for the duration of the treatment.
What is my downtime with Morpheus?
Afterward, you may notice some redness or mild swelling, which is totally normal. While most people are able to return to their regular activities within a day or two, we recommend allowing up to 2 weeks of ‘social downtime’ as your skin fully heals and settles.
What treatments can I pair with my Morpheus treatment?
We love pairing Morpheus with platelet-rich-plasma and platelet-rich-fibrin injections to amplify your Morpheus results and boost healing time. This treatment can also be paired with Lumecca IPL Photofacial to target sun damage, pigmentation, and rosacea while Morpheus lifts and contours.
What protocols does your team follow to ensure natural volume is not affected?
For more delicate areas like the face and neck, where the skin is thinner and we want to preserve natural volume, we use a specialized Morpheus8 Face tip. This tip features 24 ultra-fine, gold-coated microneedles that penetrate up to 5mm to deliver effective results without compromising your skin’s structure.
Who is Morpheus not ideal for?
Unfortunately, this treatment is not suitable for expecting or breastfeeding mommas. In some cases, Morpheus8 may not be the most effective option if you’re experiencing advanced skin laxity. For these clients, surgical treatments could offer better long-term results, but this is always determined on a case-by-case basis.
What do I do if I notice unusual swelling?
Some swelling is normal after treatment, but if you experience significant or uncomfortable swelling, you can apply cool compresses to the area and keep your head elevated to help reduce fluid retention. An antihistamine such as Zyrtec may help calm any swelling and discomfort.
If swelling seems excessive, painful, or concerning, please call our studio right away so that you can consult directly with one of our Nurse Practitioners for personalized advice and next steps. Your safety and comfort are always our top priority.
