MORPHEUS8 - RadioFrequency MICRONEEDLING
Pre/post-care instructions

Park’s experienced providers will do everything possible to ensure you achieve your desired Morpheus8 results! Here are a few things you can do to improve your results and reduce possible adverse effects.

If you’re looking for standard microneedling (not Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling) pre- and post-care instructions, you can find those here.

pre-care

  • Avoid alcohol and NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen, etc.), aspirin, or other anti-inflammatory or blood-thinning medications two days before your treatment. If any of these are prescribed by your doctor, check with them before discontinuing.

  • Avoid vitamin E, omega-3, ginseng, garlic, ginkgo, or St. John’s wort supplements for two days before or after treatment. 

  • Avoid exercise or sex six hours before and 24 hours after your treatment.  

  • Come without makeup, or plan to remove your makeup when you arrive. Beards should be clean-shaven. 

  • It is common to experience redness and sensitivity for 1-3 days post-treatment. Consider scheduling your treatment with this in mind. 

Some people are not able to have microneedling treatments. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or experiencing a new facial rash or irritation, let us know right away -- we may have to reschedule your treatment or consider an alternative. 

POST-care

  • You may experience redness, pain, itching, mild discolouration, and tenderness at your treatment sites. This is normal and should only last 1-3 days. If you experience anything else, please email us so we can assess whether we can do anything to help!

  • Avoid topical retinol products for 2-3 days after your treatment. 

  • Avoid exercise, sex, or extreme heat (saunas, sunbathing, hot yoga, etc.) for 24-48 hours after treatment. 

  • Avoid direct sunlight for 1-3 days post-treatment. Wear sunscreen and a brimmed hat for the best protection if you need to go outside.

  • Guard against infection by keeping the skin clean, especially in the first 48h. 

Microneedling results will peak at close to 3 weeks post-treatment, and we recommend repeating your treatment in 3-6 weeks for a total of three treatments for optimal results. We recommend a maintenance treatment in 6-12 months following your three treatments. Feel free to book this online!
