Redness and Sensitivity May Be Seen After the Procedure
After Morpheus 8 application, it is likely to see temporary side effects such as mild swelling, redness, dryness, peeling or sensitivity on the skin. These effects generally decrease and heal within a short time. However, a certain healing period is needed for the skin to recover. Especially for people with an intense schedule in daily life, a few days of disadvantage may be in question.
It Requires a Healing Process and Care
Although Morpheus 8 is not a surgical procedure, since micro channels are opened in the skin and radiofrequency energy is delivered to the tissues, the skin needs to be protected after the treatment. The skin should not be directly exposed to the sun without protection, and the care applications recommended by the physician should not be interrupted. Depending on the person's skin structure and the intensity of the treatment, some changes may need to be made in the daily care routine.
Results May Not Be the Same in Everyone
The effect of treatment and the results obtained may vary according to the person's skin structure, age, existing concerns on the skin and treatment planning. In some people, pronounced improvement in skin texture or pronounced tightening may be seen. However, in some people, the results may be more limited. Sometimes, more than one session may need to be applied to achieve the targeted results. For this reason, it would be incorrect to think that definitive and equal results can be obtained for everyone.
There Are Rare Serious Complication Risks
Morpheus 8 technology is often a safe non-surgical aesthetic procedure. However, when device settings are not made appropriate to the person, when correct parameters are not determined, when the correct tip selection is not made or when the pre-treatment physician evaluation is not made correctly, some complications may occur. These rare complications include effects such as pigment changes, burns, infection or permanent scarring. The FDA states that serious complications such as fat tissue loss, scarring, burns or nerve damage may rarely be seen for applications based on the microneedling and radiofrequency energy procedure.
However, it would not be correct to think that these complications will definitely be seen. But the procedure must be performed by a specialist physician, after comprehensive evaluations, with correct parameters and under clinical conditions.
It May Not Be a Suitable Procedure for Everyone
If there is an active skin infection or if there are conditions on the person's skin that will affect wound healing, the postponement of Morpheus 8 treatment may be needed. The use of some medications may also affect the suitability of the treatment. For this reason, the person's medical history and current skin condition need to be evaluated by the physician before the treatment. In which area, at what depth and with which energy parameters the procedure will be applied must be determined by the specialist physician.
