How Long Is the Healing Process After Morpheus 8 Skin Renewal Treatment?
After Morpheus 8 treatment, a redness resembling sunburn may occur in the skin tissue. In addition, mild oedema, sensitivity or warmth may be felt. These effects usually decrease and begin to disappear within 24 to 72 hours. In some patients, small needle marks or pinpoint crusting may be seen. A rough appearance may develop on the skin and this may persist for a few more days. Especially in more intensive applications, the healing time can extend to a week. During this process, the skin must be protected from irritation and sun damage, and the skin's natural healing mechanism must be given time.
When Can You Return to Work After Morpheus 8?
There is no specific timing for returning to work after Morpheus 8 treatment. People who work in jobs that do not require sun exposure or physical effort can usually return to work within one to three days. However, if effects such as pronounced redness, sensitivity and swelling persist on the skin, a few more days of rest may be needed. People who work in heavy jobs requiring physical effort must follow the period recommended by their physician to return to work.
What Should Be Considered After Morpheus 8 Application?
After the treatment, the person should protect their skin. This supports the healing process. For example;
Makeup – It is generally recommended not to apply makeup for the first two days so that the micro channels opened in the skin close and sensitivity decreases. However, this period may be longer depending on the intensity of the application and the device parameters.
Exercise – After treatment, sweating and the increase in body temperature can cause skin irritation. For this reason, intensive and tiring exercises should be avoided for the first 48 to 72 hours after the session.
Sun Protection – After the session, our skin can become more sensitive to the sun than normal. For this reason, care should be taken to use sunscreen and to avoid direct sun exposure.
Skincare – After a Morpheus 8 session, peeling, retinol, acid-containing and skin-irritating applications should be avoided.
Hot and Steamy Environments – After treatment, it is beneficial to stay away from environments such as hammams, saunas, pools and hot showers for a while. These environments can increase the redness on the skin.
Is the Healing Process the Same for Everyone After Morpheus 8?
No. The time to return to daily life after Morpheus 8 treatment may vary from patient to patient. The energy level used in the application, the needle depth, the treatment area and the person's skin structure are among the factors that can affect the time to return to daily life.
If unexpected symptoms such as increasing pain, redness, swelling, fever or discharge appear after treatment, you should consult your physician without losing time.
