- Can you elaborate on the concept of “holistic transformation” as it applies to Morfologie’s services?
A holistic approach to body transformation is important as the aim at Morfologie is not to merely alleviate symptoms; instead, our team want to tackle the root cause to ensure that the transformation isn’t only achieved but sustained permanently, through non-invasive, needle-free, and chemical-free means.
For example, the Physiotherapy Treatments combine hands-on therapies provided by our DHA-Licensed Physiotherapists and the use of our Patented Indiba Technology and EMS Machines. This ensures a holistic approach to regaining a full range of movement by activating the muscles and reducing inflammation. At the same time, Indiba is scientifically proven to stimulate stem cell production (the building blocks of all tissue in the body) to elevate healing to a whole new level wherein worn-down muscles, tissues, nerves, and joints are regenerated.
For the Physio-Aesthetic Treatments, the belief at Morfologie is that holistic transformations aid our clients in overcoming obstacles that result in improvements in their physical, mental, and emotional health. For example, we recently had a severely overweight client who walked in and asked us to apply our fat-freezing technology (CoolTech) with an aim to permanently kill fat cells in several areas. In all cases, it is important for our team to gently assess our client’s overall wellbeing to understand the reason why and how they reached their current situation. In her case, she suffered a knee injury and could no longer partake in light exercises and as the pounds crept up, she became increasingly depressed. Hearing her story, our team recommended that the first point of call was to address her knee issues with Physiotherapy and Indiba to heal the pain and provide her with a brief guide on appropriate exercises to regain mobility. Later, as her pain started to subside, we introduced EMS to stimulate and strengthen her muscles. In 4-5 weeks, we were able to increase her physical activity to include gentle movements using an elliptical machine. As natural movement began to improve, it was time to add detoxification so by the seventh week, we started her on LPG Endermologie which treats the cutaneous and subcutaneous connective tissues boosting blood circulation. Stimulating these cells helps detoxify the body through the release of body fatty acids and toxins. At the end of the eighth week, her demeanour showed significant positive improvement (and her husband even visited us to express his joy). As she naturally gained momentum in physical activities, she could see her own body naturally healing and so she aided this further with a balanced diet. By the time we reached the twelfth week, she had regained full mobility in her knee and had dropped a few dress sizes, all without the use of the treatment she had initially come in for (CoolTech). It was only then we began treatments with CoolTech on select areas, limiting the number of sessions to properly observe how her body metabolised fat and released toxins. She is now in her sixth month with us, and she has completely transformed into a woman she has described as someone she hasn’t seen in 10 years. Now that is what we call genuine holistic transformation! Yes, it took a bit more time than the quick fixes being marketed BUT this is because we are looking for long-term results.
- How does Morfologie differentiate itself from traditional slimming/beauty clinics?
Our ethos at Morfologie is to truly help our clients achieve their goals and provide guidance on the best approach to do so, using the technologies found at the clinic. As our clients see results, it builds trust and therefore, allows us to be able to treat our clients in the best way possible, personalised to their needs. Morfologie endeavours to care for all dimensions of our clients’ wellbeing, not just one aspect of their lives such as a superficial aesthetic fix.
- What unique challenges did you face in bringing Morfologie to life in Dubai’s competitive wellness market?
When it comes to the wellness market, we need to enlighten customers that healthiness does not need to cost an arm and a leg but it does require patience and consistency! At Morfologie, our formula is genuine care combined with the best authentic technologies from all over the world, packaged at affordable prices.
However, the wellness/beauty/pain management industry is a big market which is now saturated with clinics that have big pockets and can advertise heavily, creating campaigns that dominate SEO and algorithms. This unfortunately means those in need of treatment are not necessarily finding clinics that can provide the services they truly need to benefit them in the long run, and are more focused on ROI. As a homegrown, small business, we are invested in providing affordable treatments for our clients that breed long-term results and benefits.
- How do you ensure that your services remain affordable while still offering cutting-edge technologies?
We strongly believe our services speak for themselves. With happy clients and word of mouth, we hope to increase our exposure within Dubai resulting in keeping our prices affordable. We simply do not want to compromise on having licensed and certified (with 15+ years of experience) Physiotherapists or skimp on treatment pads and creams. We want it to remain original and authentic from the technology developers because if clients carefully study the effects on their bodies from cost-cutting such items (as done by numerous clinics in Dubai), they would fear the long-term adverse effects.
- What measures do you take to ensure a serene and relaxing environment for your clients?
We wanted to create an environment that allows our clients to relax while receiving their treatments. For our chronic pain clients who often visit hospitals for their check-ups and such, the calm vibe offers them a mental break while providing the medical treatment. In the words of one of our clients, “It’s like I’m coming for a spa treatment but feeling better on the inside.”
- How do you see Morfologie evolving to meet changing wellness needs in the next few years?
On the contrary, we believe in going back to the simple core of wellness. We seem to have evolved into an age of using advances in technology and science to hasten the improvements we desire (even in our bodies) without putting much effort into it – liposuction, surgery, injecting chemicals to achieve that youthful look when in reality, everything we need to keep ourselves at our healthiest state is within our bodies. All we need to do is revive those dying cells naturally. Our treatments are like vitamin supplements. They are part of your journey, an extension to a natural solution.
- What advice would you give to someone who is hesitant about starting their wellness journey?
I once heard that the best time to have started taking care of our planet was before the onset of the Industrial Revolution in the 1700’s and the second time is right now. Let that sink in.
There will never be a perfect time to acknowledge that you need that extra push to kickstart your journey into being your healthiest self. You just need to start now and maintain that motivation and consistency. It’s not a one-time effort, it’s a lifetime commitment that starts now. Remember, your body is the one thing you will keep with you forever, so like you do your car, make sure you get regular checks and take care of it so it can go the distance.
