Morpheus 8 with or w/o PRP? Does PRP significantly help with loose skin and wrinkles? Is there a trenuous exercise wait time?

Question

I am thinking about getting morpheus8 with or without PRP. Does PRP significantly help with loose skin and wrinkles? Also after the procedure how long must I wait to do strenuous exercise that involves sweating? Weights and Running.

Wesley Anne Brady, MD · Answer

Yes. I think adding PRP to Morpheus makes a difference. If performed on the face this may be called a Vampire Facial or Vampire Facelift. PRP helps with healing, as well as working with the Morpheus to improve fine lines and wrinkles. There is not a downside to adding PRP. I tell my patients to avoid strenuous exercise for 3-5 days.

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.

Morpheus8 provides both skin tightening and skin resurfacing improvements. The technology uses radiofrequency deep subdermal heating to effectively tighten skin and remodel the superficial texture, such as scarring and enlarged pores. Combining Morpheus8 with lasers can give both complexion and laxity improvements in one treatment, so it's an ideal add-on treatment for those who care about preventative sagging or scarring improvements. You can also add this on to liposuction or internal heating to get more improvement in the areas treated.  I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to develop a treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi monicakissed, 
Absolutely add PRP with Morpheus8!
There is no downside to PRP, it only helps you heal faster, and added benefits to tightening the skin to help with fine lines and wrinkles. 
Hope this helps!

There is nothing better to tighten up  the skin than Morpheus8 + PRP short of a face/neck lift.  Always get PRP with it since there is so much good stuff in the PRP that help and promote healing etc...  You can exercise the same day but just know that you will be a little more red and swollen if you do.
