Morpheus 8 Microneedling Information

---

Morpheus 8 is especially effective for tightening and toning the skin, enhancing the complexion, and rebuilding collagen. As the micro needling device is passed over the skin, it creates small punctures and wounds the trigger the skin’s healing process. Combining this with radio-frequency energy means the tissues detect even more damage and the heat generated from this triggers rapid collagen production and cell renewal.

This renewal process continues at an accelerated rate for weeks after treatment, rebuilding the skin rapidly and producing fresh skin cells. Over time, patients may notice scars start to lighten, the skin feels tighter and more toned, and their complexion looks more even. Morpheus 8 can be especially effective for improving the texture and tone of the skin, reducing skin laxity, and smoothing out creases and lines. Patients are numb during treatment so it is relatively tolerable and there is very little to no downtime.

Also, see page on PRP/PRFM if combining these two amazing treatments. 

1 week prior to treatment stop use of skincare products with strong active ingredients (retinols, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, benzoyl peroxide, etc.)

Day of treatment: arrive with clean skin free of makeup and sunblock.

Days 1-3: 

Apply healing skincare such as SkinBetter Alto Advanced or Alastin Skin Nectar, immediately post-treatment and for at least 1-3 days. Use gentle cleanser and apply healing serum, moisturizer, and sunblock.

Alastin Post-Injection serum is recommended to minimize possible bruising and swelling.

Do not take any anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen, Motrin or Advil. These agents will interfere with the natural inflammatory process that is responsible for your skin rejuvenation.

Avoid warm environments (i.e., hot tubs, jacuzzis, steam rooms, hot yoga, saunas, etc.) for 3 days post-treatment.

By day two or three, your skin may feel a bit dry. This is normal and will resolve on its own.

Days 4+:

May resume skincare with strong active ingredients and use of makeup. 

You will begin to see improvements in the overall texture and tone shortly after your treatment, but the overall effects take up to 3 months, for optimal improvement.
