Morpheus 8 Can Ruin Your Skin

I had a treatment on my face and it went without problem. But then I went back to have treatment on my thighs and knees she must have the settings way too high. It's been 10 days and my skin still has bunch of needle holes in it. Look like I got burned by a giant grill. But that's not the worst part. My skin is way more loose than before. Probably because the high temp melted fat and burned up the connective tissues in my skin. If it hurts too much during the procedure, it means the settings are too high. It's not designed to be safe for your skin!

Please keep us updated, fingers crossed it will improve with more time. The grid marks can take longer on the body, probably due to the settings. I'm guessing they assume the ticker skin can tolerate it. You're still healing, stay positive.

It's been almost 3 weeks and the grill marks are mostly better. But the skin on my knees is still more loose than before treatment. I am looking into Nova threads and even thigh lift surgery for those loose skins. Don't tolerate the pain during Morpheus 8 treatment! Ask them to turn the settings down. Otherwise it will do more harm than good!

the higher the setting doesn't make the skin more loose....the settings have to be higher on the body versus the face

It rook about a month for the needle marks to go away. But my skin was more loose than before I think due to high temp melted fat.

I just got this done on my face and I have similar marks all over my face. I think the heat setting may have been way too high. The needle depth was 0.5. I’m not sure if it is going to melt the fat in my face and it’s stressing me out so much.

It happened to me and many other people. It 's been a month since the treatment and my skin on my knees are more loose than ever. RF can get extremely hot and met fat that can't be recovered.

It Will recover. It took 2 months for my skin to fully recover. But It is not normal!

I highly recommend getting the EXO Elixir Regenerative Serum it is designed for post treatment symptoms while regenerating your skin at a cellular level.
