Microneedling with Morpheus8 is a revolutionary treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to rejuvenate the skin from the inside out. This cutting-edge procedure enhances your natural beauty by boosting collagen production, tightening loose skin, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. After undergoing this procedure at Eyesthetics, understanding what to expect post-microneedling treatment is crucial to achieving the best results.
Right after your microneedling with Morpheus8 session, your skin may look and feel slightly sunburned. This redness is a natural response as your skin begins its healing process. It's common to experience some warmth and tightness in the treated area, but this typically subsides within a few hours. Since your skin will be more sensitive, it’s vital to avoid direct sun exposure during this time. If you must go outside, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, and wear a hat or other protective clothing to shield your skin.
One of the most important aspects of post-treatment care is keeping your skin clean. Your skin will be more susceptible to bacteria immediately after the procedure, so avoid touching your face, and be sure to use a gentle, hydrating cleanser to wash your face. Skip makeup for at least 24 hours to prevent clogging your pores and allow your skin to breathe.
As your skin begins to heal, you might notice some dryness or flaking. This is a normal part of the process, as the top layer of your skin is being renewed. It’s essential to keep your skin moisturized with a non-comedogenic, fragrance-free moisturizer. This will help soothe any irritation and support the healing process.
You may also feel some slight swelling post-microneedling treatment or see tiny pinprick marks where the microneedles penetrated your skin. These are typically very minor and fade quickly. Avoid picking at your skin, as this can lead to scarring or infection. Additionally, continue to avoid excessive sun exposure and maintain your sunscreen routine to protect your skin.
By the fourth day, the initial redness and swelling should have significantly reduced, and you’ll start noticing the first signs of improvement in your skin’s texture and tone. However, this is just the beginning. Collagen production is ramping up beneath the surface, and your skin is gradually transforming into a smoother, firmer, and more youthful version of itself.
At this stage, you can gradually reintroduce your regular skincare products, but be cautious with any active ingredients like retinoids or exfoliants. These can be too harsh on your still-sensitive skin. Stick with gentle, hydrating products that support your skin’s recovery.
One week post-treatment, your skin should be well on its way to recovery. You’ll likely see noticeable improvements in your skin’s firmness and brightness, with a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. However, the full results of your Morpheus8 treatment will continue to develop over the next few weeks as collagen production peaks, and your skin fully regenerates.
To maintain and enhance your results, it’s essential to follow a good skincare routine. Incorporate products that support collagen production, such as those containing hyaluronic acid and peptides. Regular use of sunscreen remains critical to protect your skin from sun damage and to preserve your results.
It’s also important to note that while one treatment can provide significant improvements, a series of treatments is often recommended for optimal results, especially for those with more advanced signs of aging or skin concerns. Your provider at Eyesthetics will help you determine the best treatment plan based on your skin’s unique needs.
Yes, mild peeling can occur as your skin sheds its old cells and regenerates new ones. This is a natural part of the process and indicates that your skin is healing and renewing itself.
Most patients can return to their regular activities within a day or two, although to prevent irritation, it's best to avoid strenuous exercise or activities that cause excessive sweating for at least 48 hours.
Results from Morpheus8 microneedling can last for several months to a year, depending on your skin’s condition and how well you care for it after treatment. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain the benefits.
Microneedling with Morpheus8 is a powerful treatment for rejuvenating the skin, but the aftercare you practice is equally important.
