Will I lose Morpheus8 benefits if I skip a year?

Question

I got three Morpheus sessions in a row last year, and have been upkeeping with just monthly microneedling sessions, and intended to also do an upkeep Morpheus8 session 1x per year. I'm due for my 1x yearly Morpheus8 session, but my husband and I are trying to get pregnant and undergoing IVF. If I skip my Morpheus8 this year, will I lose the benefits I received from those 3 initial Morpheus8 sessions? I'm worried Morpheus8 is too strong to do while trying to conceive.

Hi there! No, your Morpheus8 benefits won't go away. This treatment has long lasting benefits that will continue to work weeks after initial treatment. Many experts, including myself, believe traditional microneedling can be done safely while trying to conceive. You can always try IS Clinical Active Peel System (15 treatments per kit) which is a pregnancy safe. We love these peels because they not only exfoliate and resurface, but they also help to hydrate and brighten the skin. Best wishes to you and your husband!

Thanks Peaceful9125 for your question. Morpheus is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates collagen production and skin tightening. The results are gradual and can potentially  last for several years with proper skincare and maintenance treatments.  While skipping a single maintenance session likely won't erase the benefits of your initial treatments, it could potentially slow down the rate of collagen production and skin rejuvenation. However, the extent of this impact can vary depending on individual factors like skin type, age, lifestyle and underlying quality of deep tissues.
In our office we provide Morpheus Ignite Burst which is the best, most updated version of Morpheus treatment platform. The advantages include faster, and more efficient treatment with very little pain and quickest recovery. This is due to advanced technology utilized in this version of device.
Given your current focus on IVF, it's understandable to prioritize your health and well-being. Once you've completed your treatment cycle and have a clearer picture of your family planning, you can discuss with your doctor the best time to resume your Morpheus treatment.
Hope this was helpful!

The recommended treatment protocol is 3 to 4 sessions of Morpheus to start and then one time yearly for maintenance.  These are general guidelines and may vary based on each patient.  
The benefits that you have gained from prior Morpheus treatments will not reverse if you aren't able to have your maintenance treatment.  We encourage you to use medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and to wear sunscreen daily to keep your skin healthy.  Resume your normal Morpheus treatments when you feel you are able.

No, you will not lose anything if you do not do your yearly Morpheus 8 treatment.  You will continue the natural aging process.  When you restart your treatments, you  may want to consider having more than one to "catch up" on the time gone bye.
