Eczema is a chronic skin condition that affects the skin's protective barrier and can cause redness, dryness, itching and sensitivity during flare-up periods. Morpheus 8 skin renewal is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment that delivers radiofrequency energy to the lower layers of the skin through micro needles. For this reason, people with eczema should be carefully evaluated by a physician before Morpheus 8.
Morpheus 8 is generally not recommended for people with active eczema. However, it would not be correct to make the same assessment for everyone with eczema. Suitability is determined by the physician based on whether the condition is under control and the current state of the skin barrier.

Can Morpheus 8 Be Applied During Active Eczema?
Generally no. When eczema is active, effects such as dryness, cracking, redness, itching and irritation can be seen. Morpheus 8 can cause additional irritation on sensitised skin. Especially if eczema symptoms, open wounds or irritation are present in the treatment area, the procedure may need to be postponed. The eczema should be brought under control and the skin barrier allowed to recover.
Can People Whose Eczema Is Under Control Have Morpheus 8?
Visible calming of eczema symptoms does not always mean the procedure can be applied. In some people, visible symptoms may fade while sensitivity in the skin barrier persists.
In people with a history of eczema, the treatment decision is made together with the specialist physician considering the severity of the condition, the treatment area, the skin's healing capacity and the medications used. After evaluation, the physician may decide the patient is suitable or may postpone treatment.
Why Should Skin Health Be Evaluated Before Morpheus 8?
Morpheus 8 is a procedure applied with the principle of microneedling and radiofrequency energy. For this reason, the suitability of the skin's current condition is very important for treatment safety. Besides eczema, conditions such as psoriasis, open wounds, intense irritation or active infection can affect treatment planning.
For this reason, the person should inform the physician about cortisone-containing or immune-affecting medications, their eczema history and past skin reactions. Treatment timing and suitability are decided after the physician's examination.
