Morpheus8 Body treatments use radiofrequency microneedling to stimulate collagen remodeling, tighten skin, and improve texture. Although the treatment is cosmetic, the treated skin should be considered a controlled healing wound for the first 72 hours.

Proper aftercare is essential to reduce irritation, prevent infection, and support optimal collagen regeneration.

During the first three days, the treated skin may experience:

• Redness
• Mild swelling
• Warm sensation
• Tenderness
• Small grid marks from the treatment pattern
• Mild itching during the healing process

These reactions are normal and part of the natural healing process.

During this time, the treated area must be kept clean, protected, and free from irritation.

For the first 72 hours, the only cleanser recommended is:

Hibiclens Antimicrobial / Antiseptic Skin Cleanser

Hibiclens helps reduce bacteria on the skin while the micro-channels created by Morpheus8 are healing.

Instructions:

• Clean the treated area twice daily
• Use lukewarm water only
• Gently cleanse without scrubbing
• Pat dry using a clean towel

Always use new towels after each wash to maintain proper hygiene.

After cleansing, it is very important to keep the treated skin protected and hydrated.

Aquaphor is strongly recommended for Morpheus8 body treatments.

Apply a thin layer of Aquaphor to the treated area to:

• Protect the skin barrier
• Prevent excessive dryness
• Support tissue healing
• Reduce irritation during recovery

Aquaphor should be used during the early healing phase to maintain proper skin protection.

Treated areas should remain free from friction and pressure.

Patients should avoid:

• Tight clothing
• Compression garments
• Waist trainers
• Fajas
• Tight leggings

Instead, wear loose and breathable clothing to allow the skin to heal properly.

Friction from tight garments may increase irritation and delay healing.

For the first 72 hours, avoid activities that increase heat or sweating.

Do NOT:

• Work out
• Go to the gym
• Use saunas or steam rooms
• Use jacuzzis or hot tubs
• Swim in pools
• Go to the beach
• Expose the treated skin to excessive heat

Heat and sweat can increase inflammation and irritation during the healing phase.

It is extremely important to avoid sun exposure immediately after Morpheus8 treatments.

The treated skin is more sensitive to UV radiation and heat, which may increase the risk of:

• Hyperpigmentation
• Prolonged redness
• Inflammation
• Uneven healing

Avoid:

• Direct sun exposure
• Tanning beds
• Sun tanning

If outdoor exposure cannot be avoided, wear protective clothing and avoid prolonged sun exposure.

You may notice:

• Redness
• Warm sensation
• Mild swelling
• Visible grid marks

These effects are normal.

Keep the treated area clean and avoid touching unnecessarily.

The skin may feel:

• Slightly tender
• Tight
• Warm

Redness may still be visible.

Continue:

• Hibiclens cleansing
• Aquaphor application
• Wearing loose clothing

Avoid sweating or friction on the treated area.

You may experience:

• Mild dryness
• Slight itching
• Light flaking

Do not scratch or pick the skin.

Continue cleansing with Hibiclens and applying Aquaphor.

Grid marks and redness usually begin to improve.

The skin will start transitioning into the recovery phase.

Continue maintaining hygiene and gentle skincare.

Some patients may experience mild itching as the skin heals.

If needed, you may apply:

Hydrocortisone 1% cream

Apply a very thin layer to relieve itching or irritation.

Use only sparingly and avoid excessive application.

To prevent infection:

• Use clean towels every time you wash the area
• Wear clean clothing
• Avoid touching the treated skin unnecessarily

Maintaining proper hygiene is extremely important during the healing process.

If PRP (plasma) was included in your Morpheus8 treatment, it can help enhance healing and regenerative results.

PRP contains powerful growth factors that help:

• Accelerate tissue repair
• Improve collagen stimulation
• Enhance skin regeneration
• Reduce inflammation
• Support faster recovery

When PRP is applied during Morpheus8 treatment, the growth factors penetrate the micro-channels created by the device, helping support deeper regenerative effects.

Following these aftercare instructions helps:

• Reduce infection risk
• Improve healing
• Support collagen remodeling
• Enhance treatment results

Proper care during the first few days is essential for achieving the best possible results from your Morpheus8 body treatment.
