Your skin may appear slightly pink or swollen immediately after a session with Morpheus8 in Southlake—a similar sensation to a mild sunburn—but this is a natural response. You may also notice some scabbing over the next 1 to 3 days as your skin repairs itself. Refrain from picking at your skin, and allow this process to happen naturally to avoid skin damage.
For at least 6 hours after your treatment, do not wash or touch the treated area, as the needles have created tiny channels into your skin. To give them time to close, avoid makeup, excessive heat, and harsh skincare products for the first 24 hours.
After that, stick to a gentle cleanser and the moisturizer your provider recommends for the first 3 days. It’s best to avoid direct sunlight while your skin heals, but always apply SPF to the area if you are going outside. When your provider gives you the go-ahead, you can integrate more products into your skincare routine. For the next 2 weeks, your skin will better absorb topical products, maximizing their impact.
Over the next 1 to 3 months, you’ll notice gradual improvements in your skin’s firmness and overall quality as your skin rebuilds. Depending on your starting point and end goal, we’ll recommend additional treatments to build on your results.
