I had Morpheus8. I still have itching and grid marks/track marks. Is this normal?

Question

Hello I had Morpheus8 done on a Monday it’s now Friday and I still have itching and grid marks/track marks all over my face. Is this normal? What should I do for this?

Christopher T. Maloney Jr., MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and for attaching photos. The itching is normal at this stage. Your body is healing and the itching should get better over the next few days. The marks are normal as well and should get better very soon. You should follow up with your provider this week so they can make sure there is nothing we are missing from photos only. Best of luck.

this is normal for up to 2 weeks. retinol and exfoliating masks and cleansers are needed at this time.

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, 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
Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. Your body is going through it's natural healing process, and the itching should get better over the next few days. The itching is completely normal.The marks are normal as well and should get better very soon. I recommend to my patients Skinceuticals EPIDERMAL REPAIR to help with the itching and to help repair the skin. You should follow up with your provider that you had treatment with, to see what they recommend for you. Best of luck.

I’m concerned about these marks being so prominent at 2 weeks. I would treat with VBeam or Excel laser as well as topical and maybe oral steroids.
