Understand the characteristics  the recovery period

1. Redness:

After you get treatment, these areas of your skin will turn a little red, it’s not always noticeable but if it is, it’ll look like a light sunburn. No need to worry though, the redness means your skin is regaining life again and that’s also an indication that it’s healing. So don’t be alarmed because you’ll regain your natural complexion in no time.

2. Swelling:

Swelling is another effect of treatment and it happens because the procedure caused small injuries to your skin and now the body is trying to heal it on its own. If you want to reduce swelling keep your head up, this includes when you sleep. The contour improvements will be revealed once the swelling goes away which should only take about a week.

3. Discomfort:

It’s common to feel tightness, tingling or discomfort after getting treatment, don’t worry though because these sensations are only temporary as your skin heals from the treatment. To relieve any pain just ask for pain relievers from whoever did the treatment for you. They’ll recommend over-the-counter ones that won’t affect the healing process.

Immediate Aftercare Tips:

1. Ice Packs:

Reducing swelling and providing instant comfort are a couple of things that ice packs do. Get a cloth and wrap it around the ice pack then apply it to the treated area. The cold temperature constricts blood vessels, so inflammation will go down. Any discomfort you might experience should also be eased up.

2. No Sun Exposure:

Don’t let sunlight touch your delicate skin after treatment. This means no sunbathing or long walks in the park for a couple of days at least. All UV rays can do is irritate the treated area which extends redness and sensitivity’s duration. If you really have to go outside make sure you wear a wide hat that’ll provide shade, and put on sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

3. Gentle Cleaning:

Keep it soft, don’t rub too much, be delicate with your skin while cleansing it in these first few days post treatment. Harsh chemicals and fragrances can make things worse by aggravating your skin. What you need is a mild cleanser with no alcohol, look for ones specially made for sensitive skin or post-treatment care. After washing rinse with lukewarm water and don’t use towels to wipe off water just pat dry softly instead.

4. No Makeup:

For the next two days, let your skin breathe. Stay away from makeup. If you want to heal naturally without any external forces clogging your pores and hindering the recovery process, then stay away from it.

5. Stop Irritating Your Face:

Heat and physical strain are not helping your redness or swelling go down. It’s best to avoid things like hot water, saunas, steam rooms, and intense workouts for at least a week after treatment. Instead of washing your face with hot water, use lukewarm water instead.

6. Patience and Self-Care:

Just know that everyone’s skin heals differently. Be patient and try to relax on top of your normal self-care routine like a healthy diet & enough sleep.

Long-term aftercare tips:

1. Stay Hydrate:

Drink enough water to keep your skin looking fresh and healthy. When you stay hydrated, your skin gets the moisture it needs on the inside. It can even help with elastic and complexion.

2. Follow skincare recommendations:

Your practitioner might have recommended certain products for your skin type after treatment. These could be things like a special cleanser or non-comedogenic moisturizers, stick to their advice to maintain the results from your Morpheus 8 Treatment.

3. Healthy choices:

An all-around healthy lifestyle can really impact the health of your skin. Start by having a balanced diet that’s rich in antioxidants and vitamins. Exercise is good for blood circulation which is necessary for good skin health, and make sure you’re getting enough sleep because that’s when your skin rejuvenates itself. Lastly, avoid stress as much as possible because it can trigger breakouts and inflammation.

4. Stay Away From Alcohol and Cigarettes:

You might not think it, but having a few too many drinks and smoking can really do a number on your skin. Smoking uses up all the good stuff like oxygen and nutrients, that our skin needs to stay vibrant and healthy. This leads to sagging skin and dullness. Alcohol on the other hand tends to dehydrate our bodies, making it hard for your skin to hold onto its natural moisture. Continuing with these habits would jeopardize the results of any Morpheus 8 treatment you get. So try to quit smoking if you can, or at least cut back on both.

5. Show Up to Your Follow-up Appointments:

Regularly showing up for your follow-ups is an essential part of the healing process and monitoring progress. Here’s where the doctor can gauge how effective the treatment has been, address any concerns, and recommend additional treatments if needed. The open line of communication ensures that your aftercare plan remains tailored to your evolving skincare needs.

6. Consider Professional Facials:

Periodic professional facials from licensed estheticians can complement your at-home skincare routine. These facials can target specific skin concerns, provide deep cleansing, and enhance skin radiance. Discuss suitable facial treatments with your practitioner for long-term skin maintenance.

7. Stay Informed and Updated:

Skincare trends and products evolve. Stay informed about the latest advancements in skincare and discuss them with your practitioner during follow-up appointments. They can provide valuable insights and recommend new treatments or products that align with your skin’s needs.

8. Relax and Stay Relaxed:

You know when someone tells you to relax and it just makes you mad? It’s actually really good for your skin and overall well-being. That’s because stress can mess up your skin and lead to things like pimples and redness. Stress-reducing activities such as yoga, meditation, deep-breathing exercises, or even hobbies that bring you joy can help reduce the amount of stress you feel. Plus, it positively reflects on your skin too.

9. Mindful Makeup Choices:

If you wear makeup, choose products that are non-comedogenic and labeled as “skin-friendly.” These products are less likely to clog your pores, allowing your skin to breathe. Remember to remove your makeup thoroughly before bedtime to prevent skin irritation and breakouts.

10. Gentle Exfoliation:

Incorporate gentle exfoliation into your skincare routine to remove dead skin cells and promote skin renewal. However, avoid harsh exfoliants, as they can damage your skin’s protective barrier. Consult your practitioner for exfoliation recommendations suitable for your skin type.

By incorporating these immediate post-treatment care and long-term aftercare tips into your routine, you are actively nurturing the results of your Morpheus 8 Treatment.
