How long do I need to wait if I had Fraxel treatment a week ago before considering Morpheus?

Question

I am a female, age 65, blonde with good skin, but jowls are bothering me. I had Fraxel last week and recovery very well. How long should I wait to have the Morpheus treatment? I would like to make appointment at 18 days post Fraxel. Thanks for your input

Thank you for your questions, Volume and contouring of the cheeks can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. Implants or fat are alternatives. Botox and radiofrequency can help slim and contour the jawline. Liposuction can help slim the face. Ultherapy, J Plasma(,plasma pen, microneedling/PRP) and rf treatments can provide skin tightening and lift. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Also, check out my new line of Emerage Cosmetics, it has at home kits that you can do from the comfort of your own home. Best, Dr. Emer

In general we advise to wait a minimum of 4 weeks, sometimes longer, in between any energy, or chemically based aesthetic treatments. This includes injectables, microneedling, laser, IPL, RadioFrequency energy, and chemical peels. This is to allow healing and recovery from each treatment, avoiding risks such as infections or post-inflammatory pigment changes.

Thank you for your question. I usually recommend to wait 3-4 weeks between treatments, depending on healing process. Since you are saying that you healed well, then you can proceed with Morpheus treatment in 3 weeks.
