Introduction
Morpheus8 is an advanced microneedling treatment that combines radiofrequency (RF) energy to rejuvenate and tighten the skin. However, achieving optimal results depends on proper before and aftercare. At Laser ‘n’ Beyond, we ensure you get the most out of your treatment with expert guidance and personalized care.
Preparing for Your Morpheus8 Treatment
A well-prepared skin ensures better absorption of the treatment and minimizes side effects. Follow these steps before your session:
1. Stay Hydrated
- Drink 6-8 glasses of water daily for at least a week before treatment.
- Apply a hydrating serum (like hyaluronic acid) to keep your skin supple.
2. Avoid Direct Sun Exposure
- Refrain from tanning or sunbathing at least 1 week prior.
- Apply broad-spectrum SPF 45+ sunscreen if going outdoors.
3. Discontinue Certain Skincare Products
- Stop using retinoids, glycolic acid, and exfoliants 5-7 days before treatment.
- Avoid harsh facial treatments like chemical peels.
4. Minimize Blood Thinners
- Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, green tea, and red wine for 5 days before treatment.
- Consult your doctor if you’re on prescription blood-thinning medication.
5. Arrive with Clean Skin
- On the day of treatment, remove all makeup, oils, or lotions.
- Avoid wearing perfume or heavy skincare products.
What to Expect During the Treatment
- Consultation: Our specialists analyze your skin and discuss your concerns.
- Numbing Cream Application: A topical anesthetic is applied 30-45 minutes before the procedure to ensure comfort.
- Morpheus8 Treatment: The device uses microneedles to penetrate deep into the skin while emitting RF energy to stimulate collagen production.
- Post-Treatment Cooling: A soothing serum or mask may be applied to calm the skin.
