How to Prepare for RF Microneedling

RF Microneedling is a non-surgical procedure but there will still be some preparation required. Proper preparation will help to maximize the effectiveness of a microneedling session, reduce the risk of potential side effects, and help to make sure that you are ready for the procedure.

Prior to a Morpheus8 session, we will assess your skin condition and concerns, evaluate your medical history, talk to you about your aesthetic goals, explain the Morpheus8 process in greater detail, and address any questions you may have. Each patient’s journey is unique, and we need to develop a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your needs. This is why an in-person consultation is crucial. We can also decide on the right depth of the needles to provide optimal results for you.

We recommend that you avoid sun exposure prior to a radiofrequency microneedling treatment, so the autumn or winter months may be ideal to start your treatment sessions. You may need to apply numbing cream to your skin before your treatment for a more comfortable experience. You may also need to stop using powerful active ingredients such as retinoids and alpha hydroxy acids for two to four weeks and avoid medications or supplements that increase bleeding such as aspirin.

Along with Morpheus8 RF microneedling, we also provide a pen-like microneedling device called SkinPen^® that can target a variety of concerns to revitalize and rejuvenate your skin. Morpheus8 is also a highly versatile treatment, and it can be combined with other procedures to further enhance the results.

Facial fillers such as Juvederm^® Voluma and Volux along with Restylane^® Kysse can enhance specific features, refine facial contours, or reduce static wrinkles. Neurotoxins reduce wrinkles linked to the contractions of facial muscles such as crow’s feet. Other skin rejuvenation treatments are also available, such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion, to remove dead or dry skin on the outer layer and address other skin tone and texture irregularities.
