Had prostate cancer - is it safe to proceed with Morpheus8 and other laser treatments?

Question

I am interested in Morpheus 8 and laser treatments. Before embarking on either of these I want to be sure that no complications or side effects would arise as I had prostate cancer 7 years ago and although it didn't spread beyond the prostate which was removed and I am now cancer free is it sage to proceed?

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

In my opinion, there should be no problem having Morpheus8 and laser treatments 7 years after having had prostate cancer.  The Morpheus8 and laser treatments should have no effect on your prostate.

Hi,
Thanks for your question.
I am glad you are now cancer free! Morpheus 8 is not a contraindication in you case. 
However without pictures it is not possible to give you a more accurate answer if Morpheus 8 is the right treatment for you. 
Morpheus 8 involves micro needling and Radiofrequency and it is indicated for mild saggy skin,  Uneven or rough skin texture, Acne scarring and other scars on the face or body. 
In our clinic we have a strong experience with Morpheus 8 in combination with other aesthetic medical treatments. 
This treatment could be quite discomfort at high level of energy for better results. For this reason, in our clinic Morpheus 8 is performed by a doctor with experience in local anesthetic infiltration to reduce the discomfort. 
I would suggest to make a consultation with an expert aesthetic doctor for a medical assessment in order to consider the best suitable treatment.
 Hope this helps, 
Best Wishes, 
Dr Giuseppe Fiore

Hello! Thank you for your question regarding Morpheus8 after having prostate cancer. I'm glad you are cancer free! Morpheus8 should be a safe treatment option for you. Morpheus8 targets the skin and is generally safe for all skin types. Morpheus8 is microneedling + radiofrequency and helps to remodel the skin and tissue to firm from underneath the skin. I hope this helps!

The Morpheus8 is a localised skin treatment which involves microneedling and radiofrequency. This should not have any impact on previous prostate cancer.
