Pain Management with Morpheus8: Why Choosing a Plastic Surgeon for Your Treatment Can Make All the Difference

In recent years, Morpheus8 has emerged as a revolutionary treatment for those seeking to rejuvenate their skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and achieve a more youthful appearance without going under the knife. While the technology itself is groundbreaking, there’s an often-overlooked aspect that can dramatically impact the patient experience: pain management. This is where the expertise of the team at a plastic surgeon’s office becomes invaluable.

In this blog, we’ll explore what Morpheus8 is, why pain management is so crucial, and how choosing a plastic surgeon’s office like Bloom Plastic Surgery for your Morpheus8 treatment can provide a more comfortable and effective experience.

Reasons to use Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling

What is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment that combines microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy to remodel and contour the face and body. This treatment works by penetrating the skin’s deeper layers, stimulating collagen production, and tightening the skin, leading to a smoother, more youthful appearance. Unlike traditional microneedling, Morpheus8 goes deeper into the dermis, making it particularly effective for treating areas like the lower face, neck, and body.

However, with greater effectiveness often comes greater discomfort, as the treatment reaches deeper layers of skin. This is where the pain management options provided at Bloom Plastic Surgery become essential.

The Importance of Pain Management in Morpheus8 Treatments

While Morpheus8 delivers remarkable results, it can be an uncomfortable procedure due to the depth at which the microneedles penetrate the skin and the simultaneous delivery of RF energy. Pain tolerance varies from person to person, and what feels like a mild discomfort to one individual may be significantly painful to another.

Here’s why pain management is so crucial:

  1. Patient Comfort: Ensuring that a patient is as comfortable as possible during the procedure not only improves their experience but also allows the practitioner to focus on achieving the best possible results.
  2. Treatment Efficiency: With effective pain management, the practitioner can work more efficiently, knowing that the patient is not in distress, allowing for more energy to be delivered  during  the treatment.
  3. Post-Treatment Recovery: Proper pain management during the procedure can also contribute to a smoother and faster recovery period.

Pain Management Options at Bloom Plastic Surgery

At Bloom Plastic Surgery, we understand the importance of minimizing discomfort during Morpheus8 treatments, we call it our 4-D (4 depth) numbing protocol. Here’s how we ensure our patients have the most comfortable experience possible:

  1. Topical Numbing Agents: Before the procedure begins, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area. This helps to desensitize the skin and minimize the initial discomfort of the microneedling process.
  2. Pro-Nox™: This innovative system allows patients to self-administer a blend of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oxygen during the procedure. The Pro-Nox system provides quick pain relief and anxiety reduction, ensuring patients remain comfortable throughout the treatment. At Bloom Plastic Surgery, we offer Pro-Nox as part of our Morpheus8 package, adding an extra layer of comfort to the procedure.
  3. Mesocaine Analgesia (Injectable Lidocaine): Another pain management option available at Bloom Plastic Surgery is Mesocaine Analgesia, an injectable lidocaine that provides deep numbing of the treated area. This is particularly beneficial for patients who are having large surface areas treated, such as the face, abdomen or arms. 
  4. Optional Nerve Blocks: For patients with low pain tolerance or those undergoing more extensive treatments, we offer optional nerve blocks. These injections effectively numb larger areas of the face or body, ensuring that even the most sensitive patients can undergo Morpheus8 without significant discomfort.
