Initially, the clinic provided photos of a patient with abdomen in a postpartum phase presenting multiple stretch marks and poor laxity, with residual erythematous tip footprints in the lower region.Based on the pictures of 5 months post treatment, it appears that the procedure was done in the beginning of the pregnancy, although pregnancy is listed as contraindication for morpheus8 treatment in ifu.The initial immune reaction could have been triggered by the application of a numbing cream with high percentage of anesthetics combined with aggressive treatment parameters (burst mode with too many passes).The healing was delayed both due to the peripheric treatment region and the fact that during pregnancy the skin undergoes mechanical stress and healing mechanisms are perturbed.Initially, inmode decided to monitor patient's healing progress as full resolution was expected despite the delayed timing.However, recently additional information was received from the provider upon inmode's attempt to inquire on patient's status, stating the patient hasn't resolved.Therefore, it was decided to report the incident due to longevity of the adverse event.Nevertheless, a gradual and continuous improvement of the skin texture as well as normalization and healing of the micro-lesions are expected.
