Do you need to repeat initial treatments if already received different brand of laser?

Question

If I were to have previously received, for example, Vivace regularly and wanted to switch to Morpheus8, would I need to do the initial treatments one month apart or can I resume the maintenance with Morpheus8?

Danielle Shanley, MD · Answer

Great question! While both Vivace and Morpheus8 are microneedling radiofrequency (RF) treatments, they use different technologies with varying depths of penetration and energy delivery. Because of this, it’s generally recommended to follow the initial Morpheus8 treatment series—typically 3 sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart—if you're looking for transformative results like significant skin tightening or texture improvement.

However, if your goal is maintenance only and you've been consistent with treatments like Vivace, you may be able to transition straight into maintenance sessions with Morpheus8. In that case, we’d still recommend a consultation to assess your skin and make sure you're getting the most out of the treatment based on your individual goals and where your skin is currently at.

You have to remember that there is a big difference and skin changes with laser versus radiofrequency microneedling.  I would suggest that you take a month off before starting to convert to morpheus
