Persistent grid marks after Morpheus (Photo)

Question

I had Morpheus done in June 2024. However, I’ve had persistent chicken, skin and grid marks five months later. I have used vitamin C, tretinoin, SkinCeuticals Discoloration defense, Korean, skin care, niacinamide, and religiously have used sunscreen at least twice daily without missing a day. Not sure what else can be done to fix this. Thank You in advance for any advice

Hello, what I would recommend to treat this type of concern post Morpheus8 would be more of a physical exfoliation such as a Diamond Glow facial to help resurface and remove excess dead skin. I know you are using a chemical exfoliation (tretinoin), however, you need to incorporate something to physicallu remove that top layer. Another recommendation would be our NeoGen Plasma laser that can further resurface without puncturing the skin. This helps rebuild collagen and elastin from the inside out. There may be some peeling included in this laser treatment but that is the point, to help resurface. This can also help with skin tone/ pigmentation and more textural issues as well. If you are looking for something in between a facial and a ablative treatment, chemical peels could be another way to go as well. Please feel free to reach out to any of my 10 locations across MA for a complimentary consultation with my in office providers. Our Boston office number is 617-923-0396. Thank you, and I hope this helps.

It is not that common to get persistent grid marks after morpheus but when it happens then they can be removed with either IPL or light peels. The upside is that most likely you will have great results from the Morpheus once the marks are gone.
