I’m considering Morpheus8 for stomach and thighs for tightening and some fat reduction. I’ve heard the body takes a lot longer to heal than the face. Are track marks typically gone by a month or would it take longer? Also, can anything be done if left with hyperpigmentation? (I’ve heard that can happen which is a bit concerning since I have a bit on my face). Thank you

Answer: Morpheus 8 Body Healing Downtime varies when it comes to the morpheus8 treatments. The body does take longer to heal because we are able to treat more aggressively, where healing takes about 2 weeks. Hyperpigmentation can happen if you go into the sun post treatment and aren't hydrating appropriately. If you do get hyperpigmentation, we have a hydroquinone cream to help, but if post care is followed no adverse reactions should occur.

Answer: Morpheus8 Downtime Hello! Thank you for your question. The "track marks" from Morpheus8 on the face and neck are typically gone by the 2 week mark latest. On the body, however, it depends on the depth of the treatment. A simple skin tightening would likely clear up in 2 weeks, but deeper treatments for fat or cellulite treatment may take longer to heal. As with any of these treatments, it's recommended to exercise extreme caution with sun exposure, particularly in the first 2-4 weeks after treatment- this should keep you safe from hyperpigmentation. If you are prone to hyperpigmentation without any sort of trigger/treatment, check with your providers to see if there is a protocol in place for managing this side effect. Best of luck!

Answer: Morpheus8 Hello thank you for your question! Typically any redness, swelling, or raised bumps from the procedure only last for 1-3 days. The recovery process is very quick. Hyperpigmentation is not a common side effect to the treatment and proper aftercare following the procedure will drastically reduce the chance of it occurring. You should also address your concerns and your skin type with your provider so they can perform the procedure accordingly.
