Morpheus8 with other same day treatments?

Question

When having just morpheus8 (not facetite), can you have botox or lumecca done the same visit? I’m finding a lot of conflicting info online

Kian Karimi, MD, FACS · Answer

Many providers do not recommend completing multiple treatments on the same day. However when completed in the hands of an expert, Morpheus8 can be completed alongside certain procedures. This depends on the regions being treated and skin quality. Without pictures or any information to assess, it is difficult to recommend whether combination therapies completed on the same day would be ideal for you. Going forward, I would recommend you to complete multiple in office consultations with board certified experts so that they can assess your skin quality and determine a treatment plan tailored for you. 
Best of luck!

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Thank you for your question. Morpheus8 can be combined with lumecca during the same treatment. However, it is important that the lumecca be performed first, so that the skin can be properly numbed and cleaned before your Morpheus8 treatment. Botox and Morpheus8 should not be combined during the same visit. It is preferred that Morpheus8 treatment be performed 7-14 days after your Botox treatment (if these are being done in the same area). Please be sure to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

I agree with you that there are a lot of conflicting answers as to whether to have Morhpeus8 and Botox at the same time. It depends on what areas you are having done and the experience of the physician. I've done it both ways. Consult with your doctor and ask detailed questions. Have a good examination and decide after you get all of your questions answered.

YES. I do this frequently morpheus + lasers, fillers, botox, IPL/BBL.  BUT this requires someone with a lot of knowledge and experience. I would suggset if you ahve brown spots and are lookign for tightening do BBL over lumecca with morpheus and then apply cosmelan or enlighten peel on the same day (see linke to emeragecosmetics.com). we call this the tight and bright procedure in my office. Best, Dr. Emer.
