HELLO GORGEOUS MED SPA®

ABOUT YOUR TREATMENT

Morpheus8 Burst delivers radiofrequency energy at three depths simultaneously, penetrating up to 8mm — double the depth of standard Morpheus8. This creates a more comprehensive collagen response for dramatic skin tightening.

Burst technology treats:

• • Loose/sagging skin
• • Fine lines & wrinkles
• • Acne scars
• • Jowls & jawline
• • Neck laxity
• • Crepey skin
• • Enlarged pores
• • Post-weight loss skin

Most clients see significant improvement after 1–2 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Collagen remodeling continues for 3–6 months.

2 WEEKS BEFORE

• • Avoid sun exposure and tanning (including self-tanners)
• • Stop using retinoids (Retin-A, tretinoin, retinol)
• • Discontinue AHAs, BHAs, and glycolic acid products
• • Avoid waxing, threading, or depilatory creams on treatment area
• • Stay well-hydrated and maintain healthy skin barrier

1 WEEK BEFORE

• • Stop blood-thinning supplements if medically approved (fish oil, vitamin E, aspirin, ibuprofen)
• • No chemical peels, laser treatments, or microdermabrasion
• • Avoid Botox or filler injections in the treatment area
• • Begin antiviral medication if prescribed (history of cold sores)
• • No alcohol 48 hours before treatment

DAY OF TREATMENT

• • Arrive with clean skin — no makeup, lotions, or sunscreen
• • Eat a normal meal before your appointment
• • Wear comfortable, loose clothing
• • A topical numbing cream will be applied for 20–30 minutes
• • Treatment typically takes 30–60 minutes depending on area

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER

• • Redness and warmth (like a sunburn) — normal for 24–72 hours
• • Mild swelling, especially around eyes and jawline
• • Tiny pinpoint marks from the micro-pins (resolve in 1–3 days)
• • Slight tightness and dryness
• • Mild peeling or flaking days 3–5

Burst treatments may have slightly more redness/swelling than standard Morpheus8 due to deeper penetration. This is normal and temporary.

AFTERCARE — FIRST 24 HOURS

• • No makeup for 24 hours minimum
• • No touching the treated area with unwashed hands
• • No sweating — avoid exercise, saunas, hot tubs
• • Apply recommended post-care serum (hyaluronic acid based)
• • Sleep on your back if face was treated
• • Use cool compresses for swelling if needed (not ice directly)

AFTERCARE — DAYS 2–7

• • Gentle cleanser only (Cetaphil, CeraVe, or recommended cleanser)
• • Hyaluronic acid serum and gentle moisturizer
• • SPF 30+ daily — reapply every 2 hours if outdoors
• • No retinol, vitamin C, or active ingredients for 7 days
• • No exfoliating, scrubbing, or picking at flaking skin
• • Avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, and saunas
• • Mineral makeup may be applied after 24–48 hours

AFTERCARE — WEEKS 2–4

• • Gradually reintroduce your normal skincare routine
• • Continue SPF 30+ daily (critical for best results)
• • Retinol may be resumed after 2 weeks or as directed by provider
• • Stay hydrated — collagen production requires proper hydration
• • Results begin becoming visible — skin appears smoother and tighter
