At NK Aesthetics in Scottsdale, we do everything we can to make you as comfortable as possible during your Morpheus8 RF Microneedling procedure.
We apply topical numbing for 1 hour prior to treatment. Once your skin is numbed and prepped, your provider will begin the treatment. The amount of discomfort will depend on your personal pain threshold. Many patients will find that the procedure is very tolerable. Immediately following your procedure, most patients will experience erythema (redness) for 1-3 days.
Everyone’s pain threshold is different. Most patients find the treatment tolerable with minimal discomfort. A strong numbing agent is applied for 1 hour prior to treatment. Tylenol can be taken 1 hour prior to treatment as well.
If you are looking for aging prevention or correction, you are a candidate!
Some contraindications include: electrical implants, metal implants, pregnancy & breastfeeding

Before your Morpheus8 treatment, it is important to avoid anything that may irritate the skin or interfere with its ability to heal. This includes: Avoid taking drugs that can affect blood clotting, such as aspirin and ibuprofen for 2 weeks. You can take Tylenol if you want. Avoid excessive sun exposure and apply sunscreen diligently before and after Morpheus8. Do not arrive to your appointment with a sunburn. Refrain from using skin care products and pharmaceuticals such as retinoids and exfoliating acids. Avoid professional peels or microdermabrasion for 2 weeks before and after your appointment. For patients who are prone to cold sores, please let your provider know so that an anti-HSV viral prophylaxis can be prescribed before treatment.
A full list of pre and post care instructions will be provided when you book. You will also be asked to complete a consent form to confirm that you are a safe candidate for Morpheus8.
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive treatment. Since it uses microneedles that puncture the skin, it is normal for your skin to be irritated after treatment. As long as you protect your skin and follow all aftercare instructions, it should typically heal quickly and easily within a few days, but can take up to a few weeks depending on the person.
Side effects such as redness, bruising, swelling, scabbing, grid like skin texture are common during the first few days.
Due to the punctures in the skin, makeup should be avoided for a minimum of 24 hours, ideally 72 hours. Excessive heat such as strenuous exercise, hot tubs, saunas, should also be avoided for 48-72 hours.
Medical grade skin care is required in conjunction with this treatment. At NK Aesthetics, we recommend Alastin’s Procedure Enhancement System, available for purchase at the office or *here* (link). Using this system will not only significantly reduce healing time, but it will also enhance results.
Patients will need 1 hour of numbing before being treated. Treatment duration can vary depending on how many areas are being covered and differing tip applications. Approximately 1 hour treatment time.
Treatments are usually done 6-8 weeks apart. At minimum, a series of 3 is recommended. More treatments may be required for desired results. After your series, yearly maintenance is advised.
Everyone’s capacity to stimulate collagen is different and one’s lifestyle choice will affect the ultimate duration. Results are permanent, but we as humans are continuously aging. We recommend yearly maintenance for long lasting results. Results will last as long as you take care of your investment! Invest in medical grade skin care, continue injectables such as neurotoxin, fillers, and biostimulators, stay out of the sun & wear your SPF (everyday!), & nourish your body.
Morpheus8 can reduce fat ONLY when intended to. This means special techniques and settings are needed for this to happen. This is typically only done in areas on the body and or under chin area for jawline sculpting.
