Without knowing your specific medical history I can offer some general information. It's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider for advice tailored to your specific situation.
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. The outcome of Morpheus8 can be influenced by various factors, including medications.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and blood thinners may have specific considerations:
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): Depending on the type and dosage of hormones used in replacement therapy, it might affect the skin's elasticity and response to treatments. It's essential to inform your healthcare provider about any HRT you are undergoing.
Blood Thinners: Some blood thinners, such as anticoagulants, may increase the risk of bruising and bleeding during and after Morpheus8 treatment. Your healthcare provider will need to assess the potential risks and benefits, and adjustments to medication may be necessary.
Before undergoing Morpheus8 or any other cosmetic procedure, it is crucial to provide your healthcare provider with a comprehensive medical history, including all medications you are taking. This will help them determine if any adjustments need to be made to minimize potential risks and optimize the outcome of the procedure.
Always follow your healthcare provider's recommendations and seek their advice for personalized information based on your health status and medications.

First of all, you should be off any blood thinners for at least a week before getting any needling procedures like morpheus due to bleeding risk.  Even tho the puncture sites are tiny, there would be a potential hematoma risk if you were still on blood thinners.  hrt should have no impact on morpheus efficacy
