Can I get a Morpheus8 if I have melasma?

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.

Thank you for your excellent question. Yes, you can have Morpheus8 treatments if you have Melasma. Morpheus8 can improve Melasma and brown spots; however, Melasma can be very tricky to treat overall. I suggest that you make an in-person consultation to discuss your options. Best of luck.

Hi there, thank you for your question. Yes, it is safe to have Morpheus even if you have melasma and does not treat melasma. I recommend an in person consultation with your local cosmetic provider. They will take a look at your skin and determine which treatments are best for your concerns. Good luck!
