What is recovery and downtime like for Morpheus 8?

Thank you for your question!  Morpheus8 provides both skin tightening and skin resurfacing improvements. The technology uses radiofrequency deep subdermal heating to effectively tighten skin and remodel the superficial texture, such as scarring and enlarged pores. The downtime can be a few days up to a week. Combining Morpheus8 with lasers can give both complexion and laxity improvements in one treatment, so it's an ideal add-on treatment for those who care about preventative sagging or scarring improvements. You can also add this on to liposuction or internal heating to get more improvement in the areas treated. Adding medical-grade skincare afterwards can greatly help to maintain your results.  I recommend browsing through the many high quality skin care products found at Emeragecosmetics.com, where you can also get a free consultation with one of my Skin Care Specialists.I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to develop a treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer

The downtime with Morpheus8 is 3 days. If you have the treatment on Friday, you should be fine by Monday. Make sure you apply a good moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen before heading out on Monday.

In my experience, most patients usually recover in 2-3 days. If you do this treatment on a Friday it will give you the weekend to recover and use post treatment care (each practice may have differing post treatment protocols). By Monday the redness and swelling should be significantly decreased from the treatment time on Friday and you will be able to apply makeup to cover up anything that may still be lingering. I always recommend using mineral based makeup as it is gentler on the skin. Good luck!
