After your treatment
Caring for your skin after Morpheus8 RF Microneedling
What to expect, what helps, and what is worth telling us about.
Expect redness, warmth and a sandpaper texture while the skin settles, and a faint grid pattern at first.
- Cleanse with lukewarm water and clean hands, and pat dry — no cloths or brushes.
- Keep skin moisturised with a bland, fragrance-free cream.
- Wear a high-factor sunscreen every day and stay out of direct sun.
- Leave make-up, exfoliating acids and retinoids until the skin feels comfortable again.
- Skip swimming, saunas, steam rooms and intense exercise for the first 24 hours.
- Sleep on a clean pillowcase and keep your hands off your face.
- Let dryness and flaking shed on their own.
Call us if you develop increasing pain, spreading redness, pus or fever.
