Morpheus8 is a safe procedure when performed by a qualified specialist. Like any treatment or product, it may carry potential side effects, including:

• Redness and slight swelling
• Microscopic scabbing and peeling
• In rare cases – pigmentation changes, usually temporary
• Local pain, skin redness (erythema), swelling (edema), damage to the natural skin texture (crusting, blistering, burns), pigmentation changes (hyper- or hypopigmentation), and scarring

Although these effects are rare and expected to be temporary, redness and swelling may persist for up to 3 weeks and are considered a normal reaction after the procedure. Burns, pigmentation changes, and scarring are very rare and may occur in darker skin tones if proper care is not taken post-treatment. Any unwanted reactions should be reported immediately.
