Morpheus8 treatment for acne scars? Is it normally done with PRP or without?

Hello,

You ask a great question. We are one of the most experienced centers in the country for Morpheus8. For this kind of concern, we typically request that patients come in person for a consultation as a patient’s scars can be incredibly different from the next patient’s.

Morpheus8, because it can be used at different depths, could be utilized to tighten your skin and overall improve the appearance of your acne scars. Its resurfacing depth could potentially also be appropriate to address your concerns.

Morpheus8 with PRP could potentially be deemed to be the right treatment for you at your in-person consultation. Microneedling with PRP, a a general combination, can stimulate collagen growth over time. Combining PRP with Morpheus8 is also proven to improve healing.

Based on your in-person consultation, a specific and individualized treatment plan could be determined for you. Thank you for your question, and I wish you the best in your journey.

Morpheus is controlled depth radio-frequency microneedling that induces collagen production, skin tightening, muscle contraction and even some mild fat destruction if a depth of 4mm is used. The regular morpheus 24 pin applicator can be used to improve surgical scars, but is not necessarily useful for acne scars. However, the newer morpheus resurfacing tip actually ablates and removes surface skin layers which can be very helpful with acne scarring. In addition, the healing time seems to be significantly quicker than older CO2 fractional laser.
