MORPHEUS8 | CHICAGO, IL

You may feel pressure and some discomfort during the Morpheus8 treatment. Some areas may be more sensitive than others.

This treatment may become a little uncomfortable if used at a higher setting, but we apply both a topical numbing cream and laughing gas will be provided to help with any discomfort during your treatment.

You should not receive a Morpheus8 treatment if:

• Currently are pregnant or nursing
• Have an impaired immune system or currently using immunosuppressive medications
• History of diseases stimulated by heat such as recurrent Herpes Simplex
• Have active skin conditions such as sores, psoriasis, eczema, or rash
• History of skin disorders e.g., keloids, abnormal wound healing, very dry or fragile skin
• Poorly controlled endocrine disorders such as diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, and hormonal virilization

Be sure to discuss any medical conditions with your Morpheus8 provider to determine if you are a good candidate.

Following your Morpheus8 treatment, you can expect to leave our office with what looks like a moderate sunburn. You can expect 1-3 days of redness, swelling, and possible itchiness. During the first few days, you should avoid sun exposure to the treated area. You should also apply an Aquaphor-like ointment, keep the area clean, moisturize, and use broad-spectrum SPF to avoid hyperpigmentation after 2-3 days.

Morpheus8 has minimal downtime following your treatment. You may experience some redness and minimal swelling for about 2-7 days.

Most of the redness will be apparent on the first day, and most find it improves significantly by the third day.

Bruising may occur. However, it is rare.
