If I get a Morpheus8 treatment how bad do you look right after?

Question

Thinking of getting a Morpheus8. How bad will I look the next day? What are the after medications? How long predates and post do I have to stay out of the sun?

David Hansen, MD · Answer

Morpheus8 is such a great skin tightener and is easy to undergo. There are 2 ways of getting it done. One is more aggressive and is a 1 time treatment where you are puffy for about 5 days but you see results that are more dramatic.  The other is a more whimpy way where you get 3 separate milder treatments spaced 6 weeks apart with almost no downtime at all but takes a lot longer to see results. Sincerely, Dr Hansen

The day following a Morpheus treatment patient typically look like they have a sunburn. You can certainly go to work the next day, but perhaps not to an event where you might need to look your best. I recommend NO sun exposure for at least 72 hours and then, if you must go out, wear a broad-spectrum sun screen. Also, no make up for 72 hours, until the small scabs start to form. The scabs are pinpoint and are not really noticeable to anyone but you.

Thank you for your question. Our team has performed over 150 Morpheus8 treatments at this point and the overwhelming majority of people have minimal downtime. So minimal in fact often times my staff  has the procedure performed at the end of the work day and returns to work the next day. Sometimes some bruising occurs or some pin point scabbing. If you did it on a Friday most patients can be back to work Monday with no issue. Best of luck. You will love the treatment.

morpheus have very little downtime, small dots and redness for few days, but most my patients go to work that day or next day.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi classylassy626, 
One of the best features of Morpheus8 is that it has virtually NO downtime. From all the patients I have treated, they almost immediately go back to work the very next day. Immediately after you will have redness and swelling but nothing compared to, for example a chemical peel. Some people may experience bruising or pin point scabbing and will have full recovery within 2-3 days. 
Hope this helped!
