Can Morpheus8 cause nerve damage?

Question

I had a treatment around my eyes and cheeks in late July. Around September I started experiencing strange sensations around my right eye and cheek, like a numbness, pressure and feels like that side of my face is drooping but it looks normal. Could Morpheus8 have damaged the nerves or has too much time passed since the treatment to be related?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Morpheus does not cause nerve damage. I suggest consulting your doctor for best next steps. I like to recommend facial rejuvenation treatments to my patients:

1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant or moxi regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest
7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8/pixel8 for tightening of the skin
8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)

Best, Dr. Emer.
