After treatment with Morpheus8, you should do the following things:
FACE CLEANING: Cleanse your face with a soothing cleanser or warm water, then pat dry lightly until the treated skin heals. When touching the area to be treated, always make sure your hands are clean.
Hydrate: Use a mild moisturizer or healing ointment on the area to be treated until the skin heals.
Makeup: Makeup can be applied two days after the treatment. (Clean the makeup brush before use.)
Pillowcases: After the Morpheus8 treatment, your face is virtually covered in tiny wounds. To prevent any kind of bacteria from reaching these areas, be sure to sleep with a clean pillowcase after treatment.
Protect: Twenty-four hours after your Morpheus8 treatment, you should use an SPF-30 mineral-based broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen. Use a natural sunscreen (zinc/titanium dioxide) daily.
Repeat often: In addition to reducing the risk of future skin cancer, sunscreen can also reduce wrinkles and delay the aging process.
What to Avoid:
To guarantee the fastest, most comfortable healing from Morpheus8 treatment, be sure to observe the following:
- Avoid anything potentially irritating, such as alpha-hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids, benzoyl peroxide, vitamin C (low pH formula), and retinol (vitamin A), or skin care products for at least 48 hours after treatment.
- Avoid direct and deliberate exposure to sunlight for at least 24 hours.
- Do not swim in salt or chlorinated water for at least 24 hours after treatment.
- No exercise or vigorous activity for the first 24 hours after treatment. (Sweating and the gym environment are dangerous; bacteria can spread and cause side effects.)
- No makeup for 48 hours after treatment
What to expect:
Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive treatment, so there is no prolonged downtime or recovery time. Most people can resume work and normal activities the day after treatment, although you may notice redness or irritation for up to a week.
Swelling may occur but should subside quickly. Your provider may recommend various ways to keep you comfortable while recovering from Morpheus 8, such as moisturizers and broad-spectrum sunscreens.
As the skin heals over the next 3-4 weeks, you should start to see your results show. The best results are usually achieved after 3-4 treatments, with intervals between each treatment once a week. Your provider will tell you the number of treatments recommended to achieve your beauty goals, however on average most people need three sessions for maximum results.
When you see the Morpheus8 results
It is recommended to have three Morpheus8 sessions at least 4-6 weeks apart to see the full effect. (Your Morpheus8 results will continue to develop for up to 3 months after treatment.)
