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: Healing on the body with Morpheus8 Hello and thank you for your question. Track marks are common and can happen anywhere on the body. In my experience, they do last a bit longer on the body, but fade with time. The reason for this is the hand piece used for Morpheus Body is stronger than the face hand piece. Meaning it goes deeper and the tip has 40 pins instead of 12 or 24 pins used on the face. If you have a history of hyperpigmentation, any well-trained provider will take that into account and adjust your treatment accordingly. The great thing about Morpheus is it can be customized for each patient. Another thing to remember is after treatment, the skin is likely to be dry. You need to keep it well moisturized and maybe even wear loose fitted clothing for a few days as to not irritate the treatment area. Good luck!

Answer: Track marks after Morpheus8 Thanks for your question! Typically, "track marks" after Morpheus8 treatments are gone within 2-4 weeks after treatment. It depends on how aggressive the treatment is. If they are treating for both fat reduction and skin tightening, there may be some marks present for at least a couple of weeks. Your provider will hopefully recommend post treatment products that will help your skin heal from the procedure. And as always, make sure you avoid sun exposure for the 1st month after the treatment to prevent hyperpigmentation. Make sure you speak with your provider regarding these concerns. Good luck!

Answer: Modern Women's Health Hi there! "Tire tracks" are common! However, you prevent them with no prior sun exposure, body exfoliants, and retinols. We highly recommend combining stem cell or PRP with your sessions to help speed up healing. The reason these typically last longer is because we're usually targeting things like cellulite, stretchmarks, postpartum belly, and lifting the thigh. These concerns require higher settings/depth. Again, post care will also be important. Your providers should provide the correct settings for your goals and send you home with a aftercare plan.

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: Morpheus marks First and foremost you should not be having long term residual marks. This suggests that perhaps a setting or depth was used that was too much for your skin type. Most patients have no marks after 24 to 48 hours. We haven't experienced hyperpigmentation in our practice thus far. adjusting hyperpigmentation is very effective with laser.
