Morpheus 8 /HORRIBLE Results

chantilly1970April 25, 2023

I had my first and last Morpheus 8 treatment over 3 weeks ago. I am 52 and have been noticing sun damage and crepey skin on legs. I had my thighs and calves treated. I was told my recovery would be about 2 weeks and 2 expect redness and some swelling during that time. Ayer 3 weeks I look like I have been branded with hot irons. The soreness is over but my legs look terrible. I have been told it should resolve after 8 weeks. I will be shocked if this looks better in five weeks. I am devastated with results

I agree. The body doesn’t have sebaceous glands same as the face and healing can and will take months. Needling 7mm into the skin - how much can the skin turn over in one month.
Heal well. It will all be fine!
Did they remind you you shouldn’t sweat and push blood into the area while you’re healing? No hot tubs and saunas……no sun exposure while healing - all these things set you back.
Best of luck!

Legs take longer to heal I have been told. I got a test patch of Fraxel and it has been over 2 months and still slight discolouration but the skin does look better. Did they tell you to use skin fading cream afterwards?m

I started to apply topical antibiotic (one time a day) followed by hydrocortisone 2.5% (2 times a day) for the past two days, and redness and itching gone down significantly. May be it’s going to help but also consult with dermatologist.

I’m sorry that you are experiencing this. I’m a fit 47 year old woman and had Morpheus 8 and Bodytite done to my knees in November 2022 and I still have track marks :( Obviously they are much better than what they were but the skin around my knees doesn’t look that great and there is very little difference. Knowing what I know now I would never do it again.
