Morpheus 8 RF Microneedling

 

Congratulations on investing in your skin with the power of radiofrequency microneedling!

Follow these important guidelines

to enjoy the best results.

 

BEFORE Morpheus 8:

↓

​

• Remember, Morpheus 8 builds collagen! For best results, we recommend Alastin Skin Nectar. Use it am & pm for 2 weeks prior before treatment to maximize your collagen renewal.

• For 7 days before Morpheus 8: Discontinue retinol, tretinoin, and resurfacing topicals (like glycolic or salicylic acid). Also avoid hair removal & exfoliating treatments/scrubs.

• We offer ProNox for your comfort and pain relief. This "laughing gas" system puts you in control of your experience. Fast-working & non addictive, ProNox helps with both pain and anxiety exactly when you need it, but wears off in 10 minutes, allowing you to drive home safely.

• To limit bruising, discontinue NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen, Aleve/naproxen) or any medication that increases bleeding for 7 days prior to procedure. If you are on blood thinners, consult your prescribing physician about whether and when to stop your prescription(s).

• If you have any history of cold sores, let us know so we may prescribe Valtrex for you. Take it before and after your procedure, per directions. 

• Any treatment with neuromodulators and/or fillers should be planned at least 2 weeks before or after Morpheus 8.

• If you are taking oral isotretinoin (Accutane), wait 6 months after completion before having Morpheus 8.

• Try to arrive for your appointment without makeup, however, if more convenient you may wash at the spa.

​

DURING Morpheus 8:

↓

 

• Lidocaine numbing gel will be applied to your skin for 45 minutes to an hour.

• After removing the numbing gel, your skin will be prepped with alcohol.

• Morpheus 8 treatment usually takes an hour for the full face.

• The area will be cleansed with sterile water and aftercare products applied.

​

AFTER Morpheus 8:

↓

​

• Skin will look red, like a sunburn.

• You will have some swelling and may show dots or grid marks. This usually subsides quickly, however you might see it to a degree for up to a week.

• You may have mild discomfort for 1-2 days, followed by itching and fine peeling while your skin heals. Avoid scratching treated areas.

• Use a mild face wash. Avoid products with retinol, tretinoin, acids, vitamin C, scrubs, & alcohol. Skin toners.

• For best results & maximum collagen renewal, we recommend Alastin Nectar twice daily; use other topical care as directed by your provider. Wear sunscreen minimum 30 SPF daily.

• To prevent infection, for 24 hours afterward: wash your hands before touching your face, refrain from swimming or exercise & do no wear makeup. Makeup is OK after 36 hours.

• Use a clean towel & pillowcase to help prevent infection. Clean makeup tools before resuming use.

• No chemical peels, waxing, etc. on treated areas for 2 weeks.

• Cool air is fine, but avoid ice or cold packs directly on the skin. Skip anti-inflammatory medications for 1 week.

• Results: will be noticeable beginning at 3 weeks, with full results 3 months post treatment. Follow up as scheduled to see these changes in more detail. Expect gradual, beautiful improvement as your skin renews itself!
