What to Expect at Your First Morpheus8 Treatment

Morpheus8 is one of the most advanced fractional radiofrequency microneedling treatments available. It remodels collagen, tightens skin, and improves texture with little downtime compared to traditional lasers. If you’re preparing for your first session, here’s exactly what you can expect.

Before Your Appointment

• Consultation: Every patient begins with a personalized consultation to discuss goals, review medical history, and design a tailored plan.
• Preparation: Avoid tanning beds, self-tanners, and excessive sun exposure for 2 weeks before treatment. Stop retinoids, chemical exfoliants, and aggressive skincare products one week prior.
• Medications: If you have a history of cold sores, we may prescribe an antiviral medication to reduce the risk of a flare.

The Day of Treatment

• Arrival: Please come with clean skin — no makeup, lotion, or sunscreen.
• Numbing: A topical numbing cream will be applied for about 1 full hour to maximize comfort before your procedure begins.
• The Procedure: The handheld Morpheus8 device uses tiny microneedles that deliver radiofrequency energy beneath the skin. You may feel heat and pressure, but most patients find the treatment tolerable with numbing.
• Duration: A typical session takes 60–90 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

Immediately After

• Appearance: Your skin will look red and slightly swollen, similar to a sunburn. Small pinpoint marks may be visible.
• Comfort: Warmth or tightness is normal. Most patients describe mild to moderate discomfort, which improves within hours.
• Aftercare Products: You’ll be provided with medical-grade post-care, including Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar and Epionce Renewal Calming Cream.

Recovery Timeline

• Day 1–3: Redness, mild swelling, and tiny scabs may appear. Avoid makeup and use only recommended skincare.
• Day 4–7: Skin begins to heal and tighten. Light makeup and tinted sunscreen may be resumed.
• Day 7–14: Improvements in texture and tone become more noticeable.
• Long-Term: Collagen remodeling continues for 3–6 months, with optimal results after a series of 3 treatments.

Results

Patients typically notice:

• Smoother, firmer skin
• Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
• Improvement in scars, large pores, and overall tone

For best results, we recommend a series of 3 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions may be done annually.
