A: Unfortunately acne can occur as a side effect from lasers and microneedling treatments. This can be due to multiple reasons.. Your sebaceous glands can increase the oil production in efforts to heal the skin, all of the mcirochannels that have are opened thus leaving your skin more exposed to dirt and debris which can cause the breakouts, as well as swelling. When the pores tighten from swelling, oil gets trapped in the pores and as the swelling goes down your skin can go through a purging phase. There is a possibility your skin could break out again after another treatment, I would recommend keeping the skin very clean and moisturized but don’t over do the moisturizer, keep it light and simple.

A: While Morpheus8 is a newer treatment itself, modalities that are combined to achieve what Morpheus8 offers have been around for years; microneedling, radio frequency, fractional devices. I believe radio frequency devices for the aesthetics field became available in the early 2000’s, and microneedling was introduced in the 90’s. Morpheus is a fractional microneedling device that combines microneedling and radio frequency for skin tightening effects, collagen and laxity improvement.

A: The best thing to do is stimulate as much collagen and elasticity in the skin as you can. This can be done through multiple modalities, Morpheus being one, that can help stimulate collagen and can improve the laxity of the skin. PRP injections would also be good to help strengthen and thicken the skin. It will take multiple treatments of multiple modalities over time to truly improve the texture of the skin where and laxity has decreased and lines have formed.

A: Morpheus is FDA approved as a Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device, and can potentially reduce fat in small areas as well as rejuvenate the skin laxity and boost collagen production. We would recommend a minimum of 3 treatments for best results.
