What it can improve
What Morpheus can improve
It is a treatment for body skin quality: firmness, texture, stretch marks, cellulite and scars. It does not cause weight loss or replace surgery.
Less firm skin
Loss of firmness in areas such as the abdomen, arms or thighs.
Stretch marks
Marks left after pregnancy, growth or changes in weight.
Cellulite
Uneven-looking skin, especially on the thighs and buttocks.
Scars
Marks from acne, surgery or previous injuries on the skin of the body.
After losing weight
Have you lost weight, including with medication such as tirzepatide?
Weight loss, especially when it is rapid, can leave the skin less firm. Morpheus works on skin quality and may be an option to consider in these cases.
It is not a treatment for losing weight. The doctor will tell you whether it makes sense in your case and when.
The treatment
Microneedles and radiofrequency, at the same time
Morpheus is a microneedling radiofrequency treatment: tiny points in the skin and controlled heat in the deeper layers, to stimulate collagen. It does not cause weight loss or replace surgery.
Microneedles
They create microchannels in the skin and carry the energy to where it is needed.
Radiofrequency
Heats the deeper layers in a controlled way, without damaging the surface.
Collagen stimulation
The skin responds gradually, over weeks. Results vary from person to person.

What exactly is Morpheus?
It is a microneedling radiofrequency treatment: microneedles create tiny points in the skin and radiofrequency heats the deeper layers, to stimulate collagen. It is used to improve the firmness and texture of the skin. It does not cause weight loss or replace surgery.
What is it used for?
It is usually considered for less firm skin, stretch marks, cellulite and scars from acne or other injuries. The doctor assesses whether it is suitable in your case.
Can I have it on any area?
It is usually used on areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms and buttocks. The doctor confirms which ones make sense for you.
I have lost weight, for example with tirzepatide. Does Morpheus make sense?
Weight loss, especially when it is rapid, can leave the skin less firm. Morpheus works on skin quality and may be an option to consider in these cases, but it is not a treatment for losing weight. The doctor assesses your case and tells you whether it makes sense and when.
Do I need lymphatic drainage after the treatment?
Lymphatic drainage is part of the follow-up after treatment. The clinic has a massage therapist who specialises in drainage, and the doctor tells you when and how many sessions are suitable for your case.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies from person to person and from area to area. Several sessions are often needed. After examining your skin, the doctor tells you what to expect in your case.
Does the treatment hurt?
It can cause some discomfort, and the doctor explains the procedure and the options to reduce it before starting. Dr Michelle trained in Pain Medicine and is a specialist in Anaesthesiology, so pain control receives extra attention. Tell us about your questions and concerns at the consultation.
When will I see results?
The skin responds gradually, over weeks. Results vary from person to person and are not guaranteed.
What is recovery like?
In the first few days, redness and swelling in the treated area are common. The doctor tells you what care to take in your case.
Do the results last?
They depend on each person and on aftercare. That is why we do not promise results before the consultation, and we plan the follow-up with you.
Who should not have it?
There are situations in which it is not done, such as pregnancy or breastfeeding, a pacemaker or defibrillator, implants in the area, infection or wounds on the skin, and recent use of isotretinoin. That is why the assessment always comes first.
Does it correct marked skin laxity?
Not necessarily. When there is a lot of excess skin, surgery may be the best option. The doctor explains what is realistic at the consultation.
Is it suitable for any skin type?
The doctor assesses your skin type and explains what is possible and realistic in your case.
Are results guaranteed?
No. Results vary from person to person and depend on each case. That is why we do not promise them before the consultation.
Can I pay for the treatment in instalments?
Yes. Once you have your treatment plan, you can pay for it in 2 to 6 monthly instalments, with no interest or fees, with Parcela Já com UNICRE (an instalment payment service). Portuguese Visa and Mastercard credit or debit cards are accepted, and the first instalment is paid at the time of payment. The conditions are those of Parcela Já com UNICRE, and we explain everything at the consultation.
Do I need to prepare before the session?
Yes, the clinic gives you instructions at the consultation. In general, it is best to avoid intense sun and harsh products on the area.
Can I have it if I have had surgery or have implants in the area?
Speak to the doctor first. Recent surgery and implants in the area may rule out the treatment.
Does the pre-assessment replace the consultation?
No. It helps the clinic understand your case and prepare the consultation. Only the doctor can say whether the treatment is suitable and propose a plan.
How much does the consultation cost?
The medical assessment consultation costs €100. Anyone who books through this page by 31 December 2026 pays €70. The cost of any treatment is set only after the medical assessment.
