The Morpheus8 Face + Neck Treatment: What To Expect
The provider will start by cleaning your face with alcohol (go sans makeup, it will just be easier) and then he will apply the first layer of numbing cream. You will numb for about 20 mins before the second layer is applied. Your tongue and mouth actually start tingling and numb as well. You will sit completely slathered in numbing cream for about 50-60 mins before starting.
At Modesto Dermatology the Morpheus8 treatment is administered as you lie flat on your back. One session consists of three passes over your desired area and with each pass the pins pierce more and more superficially. The more superficial the more painful. The treatment takes about 30 mins.
After, the provider will soothe your face and neck with saline. The pain immediately after the Morpheus8 treatment is comparable to that of threading, your skin just feels raw and hot. && you will have some redness. It is best if you book your appointment so that you can go straight home and stay out of the sun for at least 24 hours. Water is the only “product” you can use for the first 24 hours.

Questions About The Morpheus8 Treatment
What is the Morpheus8 treatment?
The Morpheus8 treatment is radiofrequency microneedling that resurfaces and contours your face and body.
The pins stimulate new collagen + elastin production && the heat tightens + smooths out wrinkles and scars, i.e., you. will. be. snatched.
The Morpheus8 is approved by the FDA as a subdermal fat conturing device1. It literally resurfaces, redefines, and revitalizes your skin.
1-10, how bad did the Morpheus8 treatment hurt?
The PA-C did three passes over my entire face slash chin. The pain during the first pass is totally fine, it is like a three. The second pass is a five. && the third pass is like an eight, you can literally feel the needles plus the zap!
The pain increases with every pass because the needles are hitting more superficially each time, and so during the last pass the pins are hitting your most sensitive layer.
How long is the Morpheus8 Treatment?
You should plan to be at Modesto Dermatology for an hour and a half to two hours. The first hour will just be spent numbing the treatment area.
What is the recovery process?
After the Morpheus8 treatment, there really is no recovery per se, you will need to avoid direct sunlight for at least 24 hours. && you cannot use any products – literally, nothing. Just water.
After 24 hours you should apply your favorite Vitamin C serum to get the healing process started. Your face + neck will be tender so just be gentle. After 72 hours you can do your makeup like normal.
Morpheus8 Treatment Tips
- Go sans makeup and take a hair tie so that you can tie up your hair. The first hour you will be slathered in numbing cream && it is just easier not to worry about your hair.
- You will be sitting for like an hour while you are waiting to numb so make sure your phone is fully charged or take your laptop to get some work done.
- For the first few hours after the Morpheus8 treatment your skin will feel raw. You will be grateful for this and this to refresh your skin with cold water + cool air.
