After a topical anesthetic is applied, you may feel gentle warmth or pressure during the session. Patients usually experience minimal discomfort, with possible mild redness or swelling afterward that fades within a few days. Treatment takes under an hour, and little to no downtime is expected.

During Treatment:
VTone uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) with a comfortable probe to target pelvic floor muscles for strengthening and toning. Most patients report a tingling or pulsing sensation during the 30-minute treatment. No anesthesia is required, and there is no downtime, making it a convenient, walk-in/walk-out procedure. Some mild soreness similar to a light workout is possible.
Post-Treatment Care:
You may resume normal activities immediately. Avoid intercourse, tampon use, and swimming for 24 hours if any mild discomfort occurs. Hydrate well and follow any additional provider instructions.

After a numbing cream is applied, the injections are administered with minimal discomfort. Most patients experience little to no downtime and can resume normal activity immediately. Mild swelling or sensitivity may occur temporarily.

Discontinue topical retinoids, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and other chemical exfoliants at least 3–5 days before your session. Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least 1–4 weeks prior. Do not wax, use depilatories, or undergo other skin-irritating treatments for 1–2 weeks before treatment.

Stop taking blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, and fish oil one week before, if medically allowed. Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup, lotions, or oils, and stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment.
During Treatment:
During Morpheus8 Face treatments, your skin will first be cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied, usually for 30–60 minutes, to maximize comfort. Once numb, the provider uses a handheld device featuring an array of ultra-fine microneedles, which gently penetrate the facial skin at controlled depths. As the needles create precise micro-injuries, targeted radiofrequency (RF) energy is simultaneously delivered deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and skin tightening. Patients generally feel minimal discomfort a mild prickling or warming sensation is common due to the numbing cream. Facial redness and swelling are typical for a few days, resembling sunburn, and most people return quickly to normal routines while following post-care instructions, such as avoiding direct sun exposure and using soothing products. Improvements in skin texture, firmness, and tone begin to appear within days and continue to develop over several weeks.
Post-Treatment Care:
Expect redness and swelling for 1–3 days, with possible crusting or peeling for up to a week. Gently cleanse the treated area with a mild cleanser and lukewarm water, avoiding scrubbing or exfoliating. Apply any recommended topical balm or Aquaphor for the first few days. Avoid makeup for at least 24 hours, and only resume your usual skincare products after 2–3 days, with retinoids reintroduced after 5–7 days. Protect your skin from the sun by using a mineral sunscreen (SPF 30+) and avoid direct sunlight. Refrain from strenuous exercise, hot showers, saunas, and picking or scratching the skin until fully healed

During Treatment:
During your IPL session, intense pulsed light (IPL) targets pigmentation, redness, and sun damage. Protective eyewear is provided, and a cooling gel is applied before pulses of bright light are delivered to the skin. Most patients feel a snapping or tingling sensation. Treatments last 20–30 minutes. Skin may appear red for a few hours post-treatment, and sun/heat exposure should be avoided for a couple of days.
Post-Treatment Care:
Redness and mild swelling are common and typically resolve within a day or two. Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer. Avoid sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily. Do not pick or scratch at darkened spots or flaking skin. Avoid hot showers, saunas, and vigorous exercise for 24–48 hours.
Pre-Treatment Care:
Avoid blood-thinning medications, vitamin E, and fish oil for 3–7 days prior, if medically allowed. Do not consume alcohol for 24 hours before treatment. Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup.

The process takes just 10–20 minutes, with minimal discomfort, often described as a pinprick. There’s no required downtime some mild swelling or redness at injection sites may occur but resolves within hours.
Post-Treatment Care:
Do not rub or massage the treated area for at least 4 hours. Remain upright for 4 hours after injections. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and facials for 24 hours. Mild redness or swelling may occur and typically resolves quickly.

A topical numbing cream may be used for comfort. Patients often experience minor swelling, bruising, or tenderness for a few days post-treatment, but normal activities can resume right away.
Post-Treatment Care:
Swelling, redness, or bruising may occur and typically resolves within a few days. Apply a cool compress if needed. Avoid massaging the area unless instructed. Refrain from strenuous exercise, saunas, and alcohol for 24 hours. Avoid dental work for two weeks post-treatment.
Pre-Treatment Care:
Stop retinoids, glycolic acid, and other exfoliants 3–5 days before treatment. Avoid sun exposure, tanning, and waxing for at least one week prior. Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup and lotions.
During Treatment:
Microneedling treatments create controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine needles, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The device glides across the skin, and additional actives (PRP, exosomes, Rejuran®) may be applied to enhance results. Patients typically feel a mild prickling sensation and experience redness similar to sunburn for 24–48 hours. Healing is rapid, and the skin often appears noticeably refreshed within days.
Post-Treatment Care:
Redness and mild swelling are common for 1–3 days. Use a gentle cleanser and avoid makeup for 24 hours. Do not use retinoids or exfoliants for 5–7 days post-treatment.

During Treatment:
Morpheus8 Body works similarly to the facial treatment but is specifically tailored for larger or more fibrous areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, buttocks, chest, and hands. After preparation, typically including cleansing and applying numbing cream, the provider treats the body zone with a wider-tip handheld device that can penetrate deeper layers when needed. This allows for enhanced tightening, skin smoothing, and, in some cases, contouring and fat remodeling in areas with stubborn texture or laxity. Most patients describe the body session as tolerable, feeling warmth and pressure as the device is systematically applied to sections of the treatment site. Sessions for large areas may take longer than facial treatments, ranging from 30 up to 90 minutes depending on the area size. Temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness is expected and generally lasts a couple of days.
Post-Treatment Care:
Expect redness and swelling for 1–3 days, with possible crusting or peeling for up to a week. Gently cleanse the treated area with a mild cleanser and lukewarm water, avoiding scrubbing or exfoliating. Apply any recommended topical balm or Aquaphor for the first few days.

Post-Treatment Care:
Mild muscle soreness may occur and typically resolves within 24–48 hours. Stay hydrated and avoid strenuous exercise for the rest of the day. Gentle stretching may help relieve any discomfort.
