Just had my first Morpheus8 treatment today and wanted to jump on here to give a quick review as i had a hard time finding very many during my research. I was treated by Angela (FNP) at Minton MD Aesthetics. Prior to receiving treatment I was given a quick consult at an open house event. They gave me prescriptions for Valium and Valtrex to take the day of treatment to help with anxiety/pain and any potential cold sore outbreaks. After arrival at my appointment I met with Angela (she was super sweet and professional) and she applied the topical numbing cream and gave me a more in-depth overview of the procedure. After 45 mins of numbing she administered the Pronox and began treatment. There was two passes with the resurfacing tip which was very tolerable. Some places I barely felt at all. Under the eyes were slightly more sensitive but that is to be expected give the thin skin there. Next came the 24 tip which was mainly done around the jawline and neck for a tightening effect. The was slightly more intense than the first but again nothing I could not tolerate. I will say I have a higher pain tolerance than most but it was nothing compared to fillers IMO. There numbing cream is no joke, it's been about 4-5 hours and my lips are still a little numb. After treatment a rich emollient was applied to provide protection and hydrate and written aftercare instructions were given. There was a slight tingling and burning sensation similar to a sunburn that last about an hour or two. As of now, if my face wasn't covered in this thick cream and pretty red, i wouldn't even be able to tell/feel a difference. Looking forward to great results! Also, please excuse my before pics... they were the only ones I could find without filters lol

I am planning to have this done however I heard it’s painful... could you please describe how the pain is and what helps make the procedure more comfortable, is it lidocaine cream, pronox or do you prefer IV sedation?

Mine was not painful all and I’m very sensitive. She did say though it depends on the provider, how deep they go, etc. Mine used numbing cream and nitrous.
