Morpheus8 gone wrong. Are these scars? (Photo)

July 13, 2021
Asked By:runnergirl1231 in Natick, Massachusetts

Hi- About 3 months ago I had my first Morpheus8 treatment. I was numbed for 45min with a topical numbing cream but still found the procedure to be very painful. I was left with grid marks of my face that still have not gone away. Are these scar? burns? hyperpigmentation? Is there a way to treat them? They are really bothering me....
