Morpheus8 is considered to be a safe treatment, though you may experience some temporary side effects. Any pinpoint bleeding, scabbing, tissue swelling, or redness should subside within a few days. Pinprick marks from the needles should fade on their own within two weeks. The treatment creates controlled microdamage, and it shouldn’t leave lasting damage to your skin. However, microneedling results are very technique-dependent, and the heat from the radiofrequency energy can increase the risk of potential damage in unskilled hands. Some RealSelf members have shared photos of long-lasting orange-peel texture or grid marks on their skin. To avoid these types of side effects, find an experienced provider for your Morpheus8 treatment—ideally, a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has years of experience with this type of treatment.
