Is previous keloid scarring a contraindication for using Morpheus8 to tighten and smooth the face? (Photos)

Question

After cyst removals (leg, back, chest) I’ve developed keloid scars that had to be flattened with steroid injections. I’ve had injections in my face without a problem, but no incisions. Is there a significant risk that Morpheus8 could cause facial scarring?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

pigmentation should be controlled with at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (EmerageSkin roller with anteage AERIFY MD ampules weekly, see link). morpheus doesnt cause keloids.

For facial rejuvenation,  I would suggest a combination approach of 
1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest
7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8 for tightening of the skin
8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)

Best, Dr. Emer.
