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?

Answer: Morpheus Thank you for your question! That is a provider specific question, however, I do believe that should be fine. You will be at risk for increased bruising but that will heal.

Answer: Taking ibuprofen a few days before your Morpheus 8 procedure Hello, Taking ibuprofen a few days before your Morpheus 8 procedure is generally not a major concern. Ibuprofen is a mild blood thinner, and it can increase the risk of bruising and swelling after the procedure due to its effect on blood clotting. However, these side effects are usually temporary and should resolve with time. To minimize any potential bruising or swelling, you can apply ice to the treated area post-procedure and follow your provider's aftercare instructions closely. If you're still concerned, it’s a good idea to inform your practitioner about the ibuprofen intake so they can take any necessary precautions during your treatment. Best of luck with your Morpheus 8 procedure!
