Scabbing can occur after Morpheus8 treatment because the tiny microneedles penetrate the skin, leaving behind temporary micro-injuries. These tiny channels heal within hours but, in some cases, leave tiny dots. These scabs must be left to slough off naturally. Rubbing or picking them, even using an exfoliating scrub, can cause scarring or hyperpigmentation. If you develop scabs after your Morpheus8 treatment, simply follow your post-treatment care instructions to the letter.
