Morpheus8

Most patients report that Morpheus8 is very tolerable, especially when a topical numbing cream is applied beforehand. You may feel a slight warmth or prickling sensation during the treatment, but it’s not considered painful. Our team will provide pre-treatment numbing options and customized settings to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. Patients often describe it as mildly uncomfortable but very manageable, particularly given the transformative results.

While some improvement can be seen after just one session, most patients benefit from a series of 1 to 3 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal results. Your personalized treatment plan will be tailored during your consultation with Dr. Macias, depending on your specific skin concerns, goals, and how your skin responds to the initial treatment. Maintenance sessions can also be scheduled every 6–12 months to keep your skin looking fresh and youthful.

You will notice your skin is smoother and firmer immediately after treatment, and this effect will become more pronounced over the next 4-6 weeks as the new collagen develops. To achieve maximum results with Morpheus8, it’s essential to combine treatment with a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Yes, we often pair Morpheus8 with FaceTite, liposuction, Botox, dermal fillers, or laser resurfacing, depending on your needs. For example, combining Morpheus8 with FaceTite can help achieve both skin tightening and fat reduction, making it an ideal option for patients seeking a nonsurgical facelift alternative. Our team will design a plan to safely combine procedures in a way that enhances your outcomes without extending downtime.

Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive treatment with a strong safety profile. Most side effects are mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, or minor pinpoint scabbing at the treatment site. These typically resolve within a few days. Rare side effects may include hyperpigmentation or uneven texture, which is why choosing a qualified provider is essential.

Listen here to Dr. Luis Macias being interviewed by the Big Butts No Lies podcast host for “When Should I Have a Facelift?” This podcast episode covers the following topics:

• Non-surgical options for a Facelift (Morpheus8, Facetite, and Renuvion)
• When to get a facelift?
• Will facelift scars be noticeable?
• Does a facelift come with a neck lift?
• Is fat grafting done during a facelift?
• Is a mini facelift worth it?
• Can a facelift be done under local anesthesia?
• Augmenting lips
• Recommended lasers for facial rejuvenation

The results of Morpheus8 are permanent, but unfortunately, they don’t prevent future aging. We recommend visiting us every 6 or 8 months for continued health and beauty care.

Patients are typically able to return to their regular activities immediately after treatment, and if not, by the following day. The procedure involves no incisions, so recovery is simply a matter of redness and slight puffiness dissipating.

Preparing for treatment is simple. Please stay well-hydrated and refrain from applying makeup or other skincare products for at least 24 hours prior to treatment.

The treatment area will appear flushed, red, and/or warm at first, but this is normal, and most patients describe the sensation as relaxing.

Almost every area of the face and body can be treated, including the upper arms, lower back, and thighs; however, it is recommended to avoid treating the abdomen if you are pregnant.

Absolutely, and many do! Men are just as concerned with their appearance and want the same youthful look as women. Morpheus8 is designed specifically for both men and women.
