Is Morpheus8 painful?

Numbing cream is applied to the treatment area before your treatment. You may feel a warming sensation, which is entirely normal. Afterwards, redness in the treatment area is expected and usually fades over a few days, for up to a week depending on the treatment settings. While Dr. Crawford advises against using any product on your skin to allow time for healing, some patients have successfully used cooling gels applied to the treatment area.

How many appointments will I need?

For the best and most long-lasting results, we recommend up to 3 rounds of Morpheus8, in 3 separate appointments. Each treatment is designed to cater to your individual skin and problem areas. Everyone’s goals are personal, and Dr. Crawford will factor this in when designing a plan for your treatment. Dr. Crawford reviews your progress with you between rounds.

How long until I see results?

You can expect to begin seeing results of your treatment within a few days. The most evident results will appear up to a few weeks later, especially if you do 3 rounds of Morpheus8. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment. If you are dissatisfied with the results in any way, or if you believe there is room for improvement, talk to Dr. Crawford about additional treatment rounds that can help build on your results to your satisfaction.

Can I combine Morpheus8 with other procedures?

Yes, you can! If you are looking to combine any other type of procedure, including BOTOX & Wrinkle Relaxers, talk to Dr. Crawford during your consultation. She will advise you on which combinations are possible, and which to avoid. If you do choose a combination of treatments in one appointment, please be advised that this will adjust both the time needed for the procedures, as well as the cost.

What are the risks associated with Morpheus8?

Redness, swelling and small marks from the microneedles are expected for a few days after treatment. Like any procedure, Morpheus8 also carries less common risks, which Dr. Crawford goes over with you in detail at your consultation, along with how your skin is likely to react.
