Is Morpheus8 better performed alone or with PRP? Does PRP reduce healing time?

Question

Kian Karimi, MD, FACS · Answer

PRP is a great addition to use after Morpheus8 to aid in healing the skin and promoting collagen growth. If available, I would recommend utilizing PRF (platelet rich fibrin) instead of the PRP (platelet rich plasma). PRF is collected the same way, but spun at a lower velocity, which allows for a greater concentration of growth factors. Overall, PRP/PRF is a great addition to the Morpheus8 treatment. Going forward, I would discuss your aesthetic goals with multiple board certified experts to craft an individualized treatment plan.

PRP (injected and/ or topically) works very well with Morpheus8. It helps to build collagen and aids healing. We often do PRP (in our office we use PRF for more growth factors) with Morpheus8 treatments and have excellent results.

HI there.  It is difficult to accurately answer your question without seeing a picture or knowing why you are desiring those procedures.  Morpheus 8 is an excellent radiofrequency microneedling procedure that allows for controlled depth penetration of radiofrequency energy to decrease fat, induce collagen formation, and cause muscle contraction.  It works on scars, reduced wrinkles, tightens skin and rejuvenates.  PRP involves using your own spun down plasma which is ripe with growth factors, fibroblasts etc and injecting it back into a desired area also to rejuvenate, fill in wrinkles, treat scars etc.  They both have similar purposes.  I suppose the decision to add on prp would depend on what you are treating, how deep the lines or scars are etc.  It is possible that the prp would add somewhat of a more instantaneous affect with the filing affect.  They are great adjuncts together, but not always necessary to do together.  With both procedures, some of the affects will develop over time over a month, two months, three months, etc.
