According to the Daily Mail, Victoria Beckham undergoes the most painful beauty treatment in skincare called Morpheus8. She spends £700 (approximately 21 million VND) each time and endures the pain from the needles piercing through her skin.
Victoria is a beauty enthusiast and is willing to try new methods to keep her skin looking beautiful. She undergoes the Morpheus8 procedure once every 6 months. This method is not for the faint-hearted.
Prior to the procedure, the client is numbed and then subjected to 24 needles, approximately 4 mm in size, poking into the facial skin. After that, radiofrequency energy is transmitted through the tissues beneath the skin. It is painful, but Victoria believes it will make her skin look amazing.
After the procedure, the client needs 2 days for recovery and to reduce bruising. Visible results can be seen after about 3 weeks. It’s not just Victoria Beckham, but Morpheus8 is also popular among many people for achieving firm and youthful-looking skin. Morpheus8 gained even more popularity when Kim Kardashian shared in 2022 that she used this method to have a toned abdomen. The “hourglass figure” celebrity revealed that this beauty procedure is truly painful, but the results it brings are worth it.
This beauty method combines microneedling technology (using small needles to prick the skin) and radiofrequency energy (RF). It is a partial skin treatment method that stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of the dermis. This way, the tissues on the face and body can be regenerated, resulting in a fresher and brighter appearance.
When the needles penetrate the skin, they create small injuries that heal faster than traditional surface rejuvenation methods and they affect the deeper layers of the dermis. This method is also said to address skin texture and lifting, making the skin firmer. It helps even out skin tone, solve scar and stretch mark issues, and more.
The effectiveness of this method will show after a few days, but it takes about 3 weeks for clients to see noticeable results, and it will continue to improve over the next 3 months. This method needs to be repeated several times a year as it is not a permanent solution.
Experts share that besides the pain, the Morpheus8 method has relatively few side effects when performed correctly. Some people may feel discomfort with the numbing cream or anesthesia. After the treatment, some cases may experience redness, swelling, or small dots and peeling where the needles were inserted.
