When can you get Botox before/after Morpheus 8?

Question

Have been scheduled to get a treatment using Morpheus 8 but I would also like to get some botox, since my appointment is two weeks away I would like to know when you can get botox before/after Morpheus 8?

Paul Flashner, MD · Answer

We typically suggest doing injectables at least 2 weeks prior to your Morpheus treatment. After Morpheus you should allow your skin to heal fully we recommend to our clients to wait 4-6 weeks.

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

It is best to spread the treatments out at least a few weeks so you aren't treating over a fresh area. I would suggest if you are doing the Botox before to wait at least 3 weeks before getting Morpheus8

I would suggest getting your Botox treatment 2 weeks prior to your Morpheus8 treatment. Please consult with your provider before scheduling your treatment.

Thank you for your question!
I recommend you apply botox after your morpheus 8 treatment, since this treatment reduces fine lines, wrinkles and helps with skin tightening it is possible you may not need as much botox as you did before your Morpheus 8 treatment. 
Hope this was helpful. Kind regards, Dra Villa.
