I went to a couple plastic surgeons regarding a facelift. They both told me to stop using Morpheus eight as it causes subdermal scarring and fat atrophy even if the settings are not deep enough to reach the adipose tissue because the heat can penetrate through other layers. Is this true?

Answer: Curious to know why they instructed you to stop the Morpheus8
The purpose of doing Morpheus radiofrequency microneedling one month is because one month is about the time you see the max results with some increased results over the next two months. The best results that we have seen have been in packages of three monthly sessions. To answer your question...
Thanks for your inquiry, I would not personally recommend Morpheus 8. The combination of the underlying skin components of your auto-immune condition and the drugs used to treat it affect everything from healing to poor scarring.
Hi Danaa37,
I am Sarah, a medical assistant at Aesthetic Skin MD with Dr. Anil Shah in Chicago! It is extremely important to avoid the sun until the small pore holes fully heal. If you do not, the sun could cause permanent scaring.
