Morpheus8 Treatment in Dubai is an advanced skin rejuvenation procedure that combines microneedling and radiofrequency technology to improve skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance.

Medical History

To ensure that your treatment is still appropriate for you, please let us know before your appointment if your health has changed or if you have begun taking any new medications since your previous visit.

Contraindications

You might not be a good candidate for this Morpheus8 in Dubai if you are:

• Any metallic or electrical implant in the body, such as an internal defibrillator or pacemaker. The handpiece should be used at least one centimeter away from the ear’s cochlear implants. Metal plates, screws, metal piercings, threads, or silicone are examples of permanent implants in the treated area, unless they are sufficiently deep in the periosteal plane (down into bone).
• HA/collagen/fat injections or other biomaterial augmentation techniques administered intradermally or superficially subdermally, before the product’s dissipation (up to six months). It is advised to wait at least 12 weeks. However, once the area has healed, injectable medications inserted in the deep, periosteal plane (down to bone) can be used to treat the condition sooner. It is advised to wait at least six weeks.
• Botox takes approximately two weeks to fully bind to the facial muscles and produce its final results.
• Precancerous moles, skin cancer, or any other sort of malignancy at this time (must be in complete remission)
• Being breastfeeding or pregnant
• Severe coexisting issues, such as heart problems or sensory abnormalities.
• Weakened immune system as a result of immunosuppressive conditions like HIV and AIDS or the use of immunosuppressive medications.
• Only a preventative regimen may be used to treat a history of heat-induced illnesses.
• Endocrine conditions that are poorly managed include diabetes, thyroid issues, and hormonal virilization.
• Any skin condition that is currently present in the treatment area, including rashes, psoriasis, eczema, and sores
• History of skin problems, keloids, aberrant wound healing, as well as very dry and brittle skin.
• Anticoagulant usage during the past ten days or a history of bleeding coagulopathies
• Any face surgery done within a year before starting treatment.
• If the face has been treated during the previous three months, it may have undergone extensive chemical peeling, facial dermabrasion, or facial resurfacing.
• Except for special recommendations, they should wait as long as they have been instructed to avoid UV exposure after receiving treatment with light, laser, RF, or other devices in the treated area within 2-3 weeks for non-ablative procedures and 6-12 weeks for ablative fractional laser resurfacing (depending on treatment severity).
• One week before and following each treatment session, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDS, such as ibuprofen-containing compounds) are used to minimize the inflammatory response required for outcomes.
• Excessive tanning from the sun, tanning beds, or tanning lotions and sprays during the previous two weeks might cause irritable skin.
• Treatment may be withheld if you have any issues that might make it hazardous for you to receive it.

Pre-Treatment Instructions

Please:

• If allowed by your doctor, stop taking aspirin or other anticoagulants, NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, Aleve), fish oils, and vitamin E for seven to ten days before starting treatment.
• One week before starting treatment, stop taking topical retinoids (retinol/tretinoin) or other prescription-grade active ingredients like benzoyl peroxide.
• If you are prone to developing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, include prescription hydroquinone in your skincare regimen for at least two weeks before the procedure, and stop taking it three days before.
• Two weeks before the procedure, stay out of the sun and avoid getting a false tan. Skin with a fake tan will not be treated.
• If the treatment is being administered in areas where hair is growing, male patients should shave beforehand.
• A preventative regimen must be followed if you have a history of heat-induced illnesses.
• A week before your Morpheus8 face treatment Dubai, stop using any topical irritant-type products or treatments, such as scrubs, AHAs, BHAs, or anything deemed “active” skincare.
• Two weeks before treatment, stay away from procedures like laser and microdermabrasion.
• Before receiving the procedure, wait two weeks after Botox injections and six weeks after dermal fillers.
• Make sure you don’t need to wash your hair or schedule an appointment with a hairdresser after the procedure; shampoo foam shouldn’t fall onto your face after the procedure, and dye shouldn’t be applied to your hair because it could react with skin that was treated with the Morpheus8 device.
• Five to seven days before the procedure, refrain from using depilatory treatments or waxing.

Post-Treatment Expectations and Possible Side Effects

• For one to three days, your skin may remain red.
• Potential oedema (localized swelling) 1-3 weeks
• For one to three weeks, tiny needle holes or scabs may develop.
• Potential bruises
• Depending on the patient’s skin type, treatment response, and side effects, the downtime may range from a few days to five weeks.
• Dry or itchy skin, possible breakout

Post-Treatment Instructions

• After treatment, use an antiseptic product (such as Clinisept) for one to three days or until the needle holes have closed.
• On the first night, wash your face with only lukewarm water and clean hands.
• After treatment, wait one to three days until the needle holes seal before applying makeup. When reintroducing makeup, be careful to use fresh, clean applicators; mineral makeup, not cosmetic makeup, should be utilized.
• Keep your hands clean before contacting the treated area.
• You can use your regular treatments after the holes have healed, but stay away from exfoliating and retinol-based creams for three to five days.
• For optimal results, use an SPF moisturizer every day once the holes have healed (SPF 30+ or higher) and for at least a week after treatment.
• For about 4 weeks after treatment, stay out of the sun and off sunbeds.
• If the skin is itchy during healing, moisturize it and avoid picking at scabs.
• A few days after treatment, a breakout may occasionally happen.
• Until the skin has completely healed, refrain from waxing or utilizing any hair removal techniques on the treated area.
