Your MORPHEUS8 treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten and remodel skin from within. Here’s how to prepare for your appointment. Below, you’ll find your full pre-treatment prep checklist, followed by your post-treatment care guide.
- Avoid NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aspirin), as they can increase bruising risk with needling.
- Cleanse skin + do not apply any lotions, oils, or makeup.
- Use the provided disposable headband to keep hair back & face clear.
- Put on the provided medical gloves for clean & easy numbing application.
- Apply your dose of prescription topical numbing as a thin layer over the treatment area.
