Posted under Morpheus8 q&a

Can I still get the Morpheus 8 if I took Ibuprofen a couple days before the procedure?

JoanSkin
I stopped taking any blood thinners for 2 weeks, however, I had extrememly bad menstrual cramps 3 days prior to my Morpheus 8 appointment that would not resolve with acetaminophen, so I took three 200mg ibuprofens. I wanted to know what the effects Ibuprofen had on the skin if I were to do Morpheus 8. Is it just increased bruising and swelling and if so, do these just go away with time?
