Morpheus8 Skin Tightening Preparation

Four weeks Prior:

Use Vitamin A (retinol) Vitamin C and E topically leading up to your appt.  Stop Vit A use 7 days before treatment. I sell a preparation cream it is $111.

Two Weeks Prior:

Drink 2 litres of water everyday, and for at least 2 weeks after your treatment.

7 days Prior:

Do not wax, epilady, laser or thread the area for 7 days prior and 7 days post treatment. 

Avoid anticoagulants such as aspirin throughout the treatment regimen if medical condition permits and pertinent to physician approval. Anticoagulants/ Fish oil increase the possibility of bruising.

Do not apply fake tan to the area

Stop using Actives e.g Acids, Glycolics, BHA, Retinol, Vitamin A and all derivatives

Day off treatment:

This treatment is a tad spicy, I recommend taking pain relief 30 minutes before your appt (do not take Nurofen) 

Do not take antihistamine or anti inflammatories

Do not consume caffeine 

Do not exercise

You can bring earphones and listen to music, podcast or book as this will help take your mind off the treatment.
