Understand the popularity of microneedling radiofrequency

Low-invasive procedures are becoming more and more popular due to the effective results they offer, in addition to causing minimal discomfort and reduced recovery time. There are many options available, but one procedure in particular has stood out among the so-called “tweakments”: Morpheus. This procedure is highly Googled and quite popular with celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, according to a report by Spate.

Morpheus is a microneedle radiofrequency device. “That is, the tip of the equipment has a series of gold-coated microneedles that penetrate deep into the skin and, when they reach a certain depth, emit radiofrequency to heat that layer of skin tissue without harming the surface of the skin,” explains dermatologist Dr. . Renato Soriani, member of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology and specialist in dermatological technologies.

How does the technique work?

The depth at which the needles penetrate the skin is fully controlled by the doctor according to the purpose of the treatment, which can be used to improve the quality and texture of the skin, reduce wrinkles and acne scars, reduce facial and body sagging and combat localized fat, stretch marks and cellulite.

“The great advantage of treatment with Morpheus is precisely the fact that it manages to deliver radiofrequency energy up to 8mm deep into the skin, unlike other technologies that act more superficially, thus managing to remodel all layers of the skin and fat”, highlights the dermatologist .

In addition, according to the doctor, with the MD Morpheus technique, we managed to distribute energy in a multidimensional way, working with different depths and shooting modes in multiple applications to enhance results.

The professional explains that the radiofrequency emitted by the needles promotes a heating of the skin layers to stimulate the production and reorganization of collagen and elastin fibers and, consequently, improve skin firmness and reduce sagging. “The microlesions caused by the needles also stimulate regeneration and cell renewal due to the healing process, improving the texture of the skin”, highlights Dr. Renato.

The results are gradual

With the reorganization of collagen fibers, there is even improvement in alterations such as acne scars, stretch marks and even cellulite. “Collagen fibers help support the fat tissue properly, improving the skin’s orange peel appearance. In addition, radiofrequency energy is capable of consuming localized fat to reshape the outline body and face and contribute even more with the improvement of cellulite”, highlights the doctor.

Abdomen, thighs, buttocks, jowls, neck, chest, face and eyelids are some of the regions that can be treated with Morpheus with excellent results. “But the results are gradual, with the definitive effect appearing after about 8 to 12 weeks, and they improve as more sessions are performed, and, in general, about 3 sessions are recommended with intervals of 45 days between each one” , says the dermatologist.

Maintenance is key

According to the professional, after two years, it is recommended to carry out new sessions to maintain the results. Made under the effect of a topical anesthetic to reduce discomfort during the session, Morpheus is extremely safe and does not require recovery time, thus allowing the patient to return to routine immediately. “However, it is common for the appearance of redness, edema and itching in the days following the treatment, and it is important that the patient avoids sun exposure and uses sunscreen to avoid complications”, concludes Dr. Renato Soriani.
