The radiotherapy procedure is known to be painful and has already been performed by Virginia Fonseca and Kim Kardashian
Morpheus, also called Morpheus 8, is a beauty treatment that has attracted attention after being used by celebrities such as Kim Kardashian AND Virginia Fonseca. Both posted the procedure on social media.
What is Morpheus?
It is a technology that stimulates, through radio frequency, the production of collagenprotein responsible for the firmness and flexibility of the skin.
According to dermatologist Mayla Carbone, of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology (SBD), the main difference of Morpheus is its reach, since using a tip with 25 gold-coated microneedles, it can reach up to 7 millimeters deep into the skin. “This way the collagen stimulation becomes even more powerful,” she explains.
What is it recommended for?
Due to its powerful collagen-stimulating action, Morpheus is often used in fight failure, according to the expert. “In addition, it can also help in the healing process of the skin, such as in the treatment of acne scars“, highlights.
How is the procedure performed?
According to Mayla, it is a non-invasive treatment, but it must be guided by a specialized professional, such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
At the same time, Morpheus is known to be painfulwhich is explained, according to the specialist, by the depth reached by the microneedles and the intensity of their radio frequency.
To relieve pain, Mayla points out that local anesthetics or even light sedation, such as that used in endoscopic exams, can be used. “It depends on the size of the area where the technology will be applied and the patient’s level of pain tolerance,” she explains.
The dermatologist also points out that the procedure usually lasts 45 minutes to two hours.

On which parts of the body can it be used?
According to the dermatologist, Morpheus can be applied to different parts of the body, such as the face, neck, thighs, stomach and legs.
What is the post-procedure like?
It depends on the areas of the body where the technology was used, but, according to Mayla, patients usually resume their routine immediately after the procedure. She warns, however, that you need to pay attention to your skin, especially in the week following surgery. In this sense it is essential to apply sunscreen and avoid exposure to the sun.
Furthermore, the specialist points out that the results appear only about 20 days after application. “This happens because the stimulated region takes some time to react to the stimulus,” he explains.
What are the contraindications of Morpheus?
According to Mayla, this procedure should not be performed on people with pacemakers, who have metal plates on their faces, due to the use of radiofrequency energy.
Again according to the specialist, even patients with permanent fillings and pregnant women have no indication for the use of Morpheus.
How much does a session with Morpheus cost?
According to the dermatologist, a braces session can be expensive from R$6 thousand to R$20 thousand reais. It is worth noting that, according to Mayla, at least two sessions, once a year, are needed to achieve significant results.
