The Procedure
Depending on what area(s) you’re having treated, the Morpheus8 treatment can take anywhere from 15-60 minutes. Your MD provider will start by applying a topical numbing cream in order to minimize any discomfort. They will then proceed to administer radiofrequency heat via tiny injections to your skin. Depending on the issues that you are seeking to address with the treatment they will also be able to adjust the depth at which the RF energy penetrates the skin accordingly.
We also recommend that you avoid taking any aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like Advil, if possible. Certain supplements like fish oil, Vitamin E and St. John’s Wort are also known to increase the likelihood of bruising. We also recommend that you limit your alcohol intake as it can also cause bruising and try to drink plenty of water before your treatment. Your MD provider will talk to you about how best to prepare for your Morpheus8 treatment when you come in for your consultation.

You might also have some bleeding immediately after treatment from the microabrasions, and your skin might develop tiny red raised bumps, but all of which will heal within 1-3 days.
