FAQs
Are Results Immediate?
Many patients experience brighter and rejuvenated skin just 2-weeks, however the results of the collagen and elastin production via radio-frequency will start about 4-weeks after treatment and continue for the next 12-weeks. Best results are cumulative and spaced about 4-6 weeks apart, per our package of 3.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Morpheus8 has many applications over the body. Chat with your provider during your consultation to see what treatment areas are best for you.
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
We typically recommend a series of three treatments spaced one month apart, but most people notice results after one treatment. We will customize the number of treatments to you!
Is There Downtime?
There is a little bit of redness and possibly some swelling, but nothing that will prohibit you from your daily activities. Some patients who receive the treatment on their face may want to take a weekend off.

Pre-Treatment Guidelines
- Schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks prior to a special event. Redness, swelling and bruising may be apparent in that time period.
- It is recommended to discontinue the use of Aspirin, NSAIDS, Gingko Biloba, Garlic, Ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Flax Oil, Cod Liver Oil, Vitamin A, Vitamin E or any other essential fatty acids at least 3 days to 1 week before and after treatment to minimize bruising or bleeding. Please consult with your primary physician prior to discontinuing any medications.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine, Niacin supplement, high-sodium foods, high sugar foods, refined carbohydrates, spicy foods and cigarettes 24-48 hours before and after your treatment. All of these factors may increase risk of bruising and swelling.
- Starting Arnica supplements at least 2 days prior to injections may help with bruising.
- Let the provider know if you have a history of cold sores. An antiviral may be prescribed.
- You may not have an active rash in the area being treated.
- You may not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
Post-Treatment Guidelines
- Redness or sensitivity might be present (most commonly lasts up to a few hours).
- Use Tylenol only as needed for any soreness. Avoid blood thinning agents, as this can cause further bruising.
- Do NOT rub or touch the treated area for 4 hours following treatment.
- Do NOT wear anything tight around the area for 4 hours following treatment.
- Do NOT exercise or lift heavy objects for 4 hours after treatment.
- It is recommended that you wait at least 2 weeks before having any other facial treatments (i.e. facials, massages, lasers, ultrasounds, micro-dermabrasion).
- It can take approximately 4-6 weeks for results to be seen. The effects will continue over the coming months. If the desired result is not seen in that time, you may need more session(s).
