Introduction
Are you looking for firmer, youthful, and rejuvenated skin? Morpheus8 is a groundbreaking treatment that combines microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen, tighten skin, and improve overall texture. But what should you expect before and after the treatment? At Laser ‘n’ Beyond, we’ve put together this comprehensive guide to help you prepare and maximize your results.
What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that penetrates deep into the skin to remodel collagen and elastin. Unlike traditional microneedling, Morpheus8 combines RF energy and fractional resurfacing to address: ✔ Fine lines and wrinkles ✔ Loose or sagging skin ✔ Acne scars and hyperpigmentation ✔ Stretch marks and cellulite ✔ Uneven skin tone and texture
What to Expect Before Morpheus8 Treatment
1. Consultation & Skin Assessment
At Laser ‘n’ Beyond, our specialists assess your skin and create a personalized treatment plan based on your goals.
2. Pre-Treatment Preparation
To ensure optimal results, follow these steps before your session: ✔ Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for 1-2 weeks prior. ✔ Discontinue retinol, glycolic acid, and exfoliating skincare 5-7 days before treatment. ✔ Stay hydrated and maintain a gentle skincare routine. ✔ Avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen (unless prescribed by a doctor). ✔ Come with clean skin—no makeup, lotions, or oils on the treatment day.
What Happens During the Morpheus8 Treatment?
- Topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort.
- The Morpheus8 device uses microneedles to penetrate deep layers of the skin while delivering RF energy.
- The procedure takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
- You may feel mild heat and pressure, but the process is well-tolerated.
Morpheus8 Aftercare: What to Expect Post-Treatment
1. Immediate Effects (0-24 Hours)
✔ Expect redness and slight swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. ✔ Pinpoint scabbing may appear—avoid picking at it! ✔ Use a soothing, hydrating moisturizer recommended by our experts. ✔ Avoid makeup for 24 hours to let your skin heal.
2. Short-Term Recovery (Days 2-7)
✔ Mild flaking and dryness are normal as your skin regenerates. ✔ Continue moisturizing and apply SPF 45+ sunscreen daily. ✔ Avoid intense workouts, saunas, or steam rooms for 3-5 days.
3. Long-Term Results (Weeks 3-6 & Beyond)
✔ Skin tightening, improved texture, and reduced wrinkles become noticeable. ✔ Full results appear over 3-6 months as collagen rebuilds. ✔ A series of 3-4 treatments (spaced 4-6 weeks apart) is recommended for best outcomes.
