Morpheus8: What to Expect Before, During, and After the Treatment?

Morpheus8 is one of the most effective treatments for improving the quality of facial skin: firmness, skin texture, pores, acne scars, as well as a double chin and facial contours. Before going ahead with the treatment, it’s normal to wonder what the session is like and what the days following it will be like. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the process.

Before: Consultation and Preparation

It all starts with a consultation with the doctor. He or she will examine your skin, listen to your goals, and make sure there are no contraindications. This is also the time to determine which areas to treat: the face, neck, décolletage, or the area under the chin.

In the days leading up to the session, it is generally recommended that:

to avoid sun exposure;
to stop using exfoliating or irritating treatments, such as retinol or acids;
Please report any medications you are taking, a recent herpes outbreak, or a scheduled injection.

During: the session itself

An anesthetic cream is first applied to the treatment area and left on until it takes effect. The doctor then glides the Morpheus8 handpiece over the skin. The microneedles penetrate the skin and deliver radiofrequency energy deep into the tissue. The sensation is one of warmth and tingling, which is generally well tolerated thanks to the anesthetic.

The depth and intensity are adjusted for each area: gentler on delicate areas, deeper on the double chin or on scars.

Next: The Aftermath

Redness and a sensation of warmth are common, similar to what you might experience after a mild sunburn. These symptoms usually last 24 to 48 hours. Mild swelling or small spots may appear and disappear within a few days.

For a good recovery:

no makeup for 24 hours;
No strenuous exercise, saunas, or steam rooms for 48 hours;
A soothing moisturizer and high SPF sunscreen every day, especially under the Israeli sun.

Results: When and how long?

You’ll notice an initial “healthy glow” within the first few weeks. But the real results come from the new collagen, which forms gradually over several months. The skin becomes firmer, denser, and smoother; the facial contours are redefined; and the double chin is reduced.

A course of three sessions, spaced one month apart, is generally recommended. A maintenance session may then be offered to prolong the results.
