Morpheus 8 There was no improvement to my face/neck laxity at all
ORIGINAL POST
beware of possible morpheus results - track marks!!
I had a three Morpheus treatments to my mid-face and neck in the first quarter 2022. After allowing for healing following the third treatment I was alarmed at the track marks that remained. Provider was perplexed by the reaction and treated me with BBL.
I think we saw a modest improvement in the marks intensity of color after that first BBL. She would ultimately end up giving me a total of five BBL treatments in an effort to resolve the tracks but there wasn’t continued improvement and each treatment was slightly painful. I asked her to contact the manufacturer for help. Meanwhile I searched the internet and RealSelf. Very little could be found by me but one comment was that marks should fade in a year and to use use Retin-A while another was that tracks are caused by provider error during the treatment.
Well, it’s been a year since the Morpheus treatments and the subsequent BBL treatments. I have used Retin-A long term, a topical steroid for several weeks which helped flatten the bumps, and a topical anti-inflammatory which did not help. As you can see in the attached recent picture I’m still living with the track marks. I wear a lot of concealer even if I don’t leave home. I don’t even want my husband to be looking at the marks. I am saddened every day when I look in the mirror. And to make it all worse, there was no improvement to my face/neck laxity at all. I threw my money away and worse than that I ended up worse for the treatments. Save your money or better yet see a plastic surgeon. Oh, and Morpheus is painful and I have a high tolerance for pain. Lidocaine alone IS NOT sufficient. I only got through it after asking to use the ProNox gas and believe me I sucked hard on it.

Do you know what she had the Morpheus set on? The needles heat under the skin and she may have had it turned up way too high and it burned tissue in the dermal layer. If the damage was too much then the tissues won’t recover and the damage is permanent. I wonder if red light therapy or a low level laser will help restimulate the cells to recover. Message me if you want to talk about some possible options that could help you.
It may not be permanent!
