Morpheus after breaking out and sun exposure?

aacarazAug 15, 2021
I'm scheduled for Morpheus this week. I’m concerned that its not a good choice, the clinic reassures me that it’s ok to get it done now but I’ve taken up hiking all month and have sun exposure.

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
