Morpheus8 about 2.5 weeks before embryo transfer?

Question

My husband and I are currently undergoing IVF. We are in a break month (just finished retrieval and transfer will be around early November). In this downtime, BEFORE, my embryo transfer, is it safe to do Morpheus8. Note, we are still trying to conceive naturally during this time period. Thanks so much.

I wish you the best with your IVF.
There is no known reason to believe that Morpheus 8 done at this time should have any negative effect on your IVF.

Very interesting question.   Morpheus 8 for facial skin tightening, uses RadioFrequency energy and 24 needles puncturing the skin and heating it with radiofrequency at the came time.  The puncturing of the skin creates new collagen production and the radiofrequency heats the existing collagen in your skin to tighten it.   Logically speaking, this should have no effect on the remainder of your body, unless you have a pacemaker, defibrilator or any other electronic implant.   Now, with all of that said.....   There are no studies regarding having radiofrequency while trying to get pregnant.   Therefore, this will have to be a personal discussion between you and your provider.
