What is the recovery like for Morpheus8?
Unlike getting Botox or other facial treatments, Morpheus8 requires a lot of downtime. I actually stayed in bed for the rest day after I got the treatment because I was in so much pain. In fact, I highly recommend getting the treatment done during a holiday weekend or taking a day or two off from work.
Plus, there are several important post-care guidelines to follow. “Certain things to avoid,” Dr. Vranis told me, “Smoking and sunlight—it’s the absolute worst thing. Avoid picking at your skin.” Easy, got it, done.
Additionally, he suggested using a healing serum, especially one packed with hyaluronic acid, to treat the skin.
At first, I applied RescueMD’s DNA Repair Complex and then when I had a check-in with Dr. Vranis two weeks later, he recommended I switch to Aquaphor’s Healing Ointment. I also washed my face with The Outset’s Gentle Micellar Cleanser to keep my skin clean and infection-free.
By week three, Courteney Winter—a medical esthetician at Ghavami Plastic Surgery—suggested I switch to Alastin Skincare’s Regenerating Skin Nectar Serum to heal my skin.
On top of using a variety of skincare products, I also did three sessions of yellow light therapy to reduce the redness and fade the track marks on my skin.
Overall, I’ve been on a journey to repair my face since I’ve had prolonged effects. Although “track marks on day two and day three are normal,” according to Dr. Vranis, mine haven’t entirely disappeared and it’s been four weeks since I got Morpheus8.
“Most people, 80 to 85 percent of patients, will go looking back to normal and have a tightening feeling by the one-week mark,” he said. “They’ll start to see the skin-surfacing texture look better and usually they’re thrilled.”
But despite having redness and faint track marks on my lower cheeks and chin area, there have been some positives: I’ve noticed a slight tightness around the apples of my cheeks. Plus, they also look fuller and more plump.
