RF Microneedling Skin Resurfacing at All About You Hormones and Wellness

Morpheus8 is a fractional radiofrequency microneedling treatment that improves skin texture, tightens laxity, smooths fine lines, and stimulates collagen. To ensure the safest experience and the best aesthetic results, please follow these pre-treatment and post-treatment guidelines.

Pre-Treatment Instructions for Morpheus8

Before your Morpheus8 RF microneedling appointment:


  • You cannot be on Accutane (isotretinoin) for 6 months prior to treatment

  • Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanner for 2 weeks

  • Stop retinoids, exfoliating acids, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and Vitamin A products 5 days before treatment

  • Avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements the day of treatment, unless instructed otherwise by a medical provider

  • Arrive with clean skin free of makeup, lotion, SPF, perfume, or moisturizers

Post-Treatment Care for Morpheus8

After Morpheus8 RF microneedling, it is normal to experience redness, swelling, warmth in the skin, and the signature “grid marks” from the fractional radiofrequency technology. These effects are temporary and expected.


Important: Avoid Cooling the Skin


Do not use cooling gels, ice packs, cold water, fans, or cold compresses on the treated area. Reducing heat immediately after Morpheus8 can decrease the effectiveness of collagen stimulation. The warmth you feel is part of the treatment’s therapeutic benefit.


What to Do

  • Keep skin clean and well hydrated

  • Use only the post-care products recommended by your Morpheus8 provider

  • Gently pat skin dry after cleansing

  • Follow your provider’s guidance for when to resume sunscreen
What to Avoid for 1–2 Days

Skin is highly sensitive for the first 24 to 48 hours. Avoid:



  • Makeup (including tinted SPF)
  • Exercise, sweating, hot tubs, saunas, and any heat exposure

  • Direct sun exposure
  • Active skincare products, including retinoids, acids, scrubs, or vitamin C serums
When to Expect Results
  • Initial tightening may be noticeable in the first week
  • Skin texture, tone, and collagen production continue improving over 4 to 12 weeks
  • Best results may require a series of treatments depending on skin goals
