Is it true Morpheus8 isn’t good for acne scars because it causes fat loss in the face and is easy to misuse and get grid marks or scars from?
Answer: Morpheus8 will help stimulate collagen growth to help with acne scarring 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. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Morpheus 8 for Acne Scarring Hi. Thank you for your question. Morpheus 8 CAN be used for acne scarring. For this condition, it is done for RESURFACING, not really for lifting and tightening. You need to go to a physician that know what he/she is doing. If you have a non-physician doing your treatment (which is common), make sure that the person works DIRECTLY under a physician. Because you are right, if the device is not used correctly, you can get fat loss and/or grid marks. For acne scarring, I recommend "multi-modality" treatment. This meand combine treatments like Fraxel, Morpheus 8, micro-needling, CO2 laser and possibly subcision/filler!!

Answer: Morpheus and acne scars Morpheus is a great option for acne scars. First, make sure the acne is fully gone in the first place. Then do a regular morpheus treatment to fill in the holes and pits and then do a resurfacing morpheus treatment a month later to get rid of the superficial skin layer
