Radiofrequency microneedling to 4mm
The jawline that looked crisp in last year’s photos has started to blur a little. Morpheus8 delivers radiofrequency 4mm deep, right where the tissue that holds it sits, for firmer skin, a tighter contour and smoother texture. At our Wimpole Street clinic in the Harley Street medical district, from £500.
per treatment
Each set below is credited to the clinic or clinical library it came from. Individual results vary with skin type, the number of sessions and aftercare.
Depth tailored to every part of your face.
Shallower over thin skin around the eyes, deeper along the jaw and neck, within the same session.
Morpheus8 combines fractional micro pins with radiofrequency heat, reaching up to 4mm below the surface. Choose an area to see where it is used and what happens beneath the skin.
Depth is adjustable across the treatment. Regents Park Aesthetics works shallower over thin skin around the eyes, within the same session as deeper work along the jaw.
Morpheus8 reaches pitted acne scarring that sits deeper than surface treatments go. The pins create controlled micro-injuries in the deep dermis while delivering radiofrequency heat, and the healing response produces new collagen and elastin.
The tissue that holds facial contour sits deeper, in the lower dermis and the fat layer beneath it. Reaching 4mm means Morpheus8 is treating the structure itself.
Reaching 4mm is why Morpheus8 is used for jowls rather than only for skin quality. Where significant sagging would be better served by surgery, your clinician says so at the consultation and points you to the right door.
Radiofrequency at depth can reduce fat, which is exactly the aim on a double chin. Facial volume is assessed before depth is set, so slimmer faces keep their softness.
Loose, crepey skin across the stomach after weight change or having a baby, where the laxity sits in the skin rather than the muscle wall. Separated abdominal muscle is a job for a surgeon, and your clinician checks for it before you book. Body areas take a little longer than the face because the skin is thicker.
Softness above the waistband that diet and exercise do not shift when the cause is skin laxity rather than volume.
Crepey inner-arm skin that shows when the arm is lifted. A course can firm mild to moderate laxity, with no incisions.
Thin skin that creases and shifts on movement. Treated gently across a course for firmness and texture.
The pleats that gather above the kneecap with age or after weight loss.
Reaching 4mm means Morpheus8 is treating the structure itself. That is why it is used for jowls and submental fullness rather than only for skin quality.
Depth is adjustable across the treatment and set to your tissue at assessment. The positions shown are illustrative, not a treatment plan.
Topical anaesthetic is applied and left for around thirty minutes. Numbing matters here, because this treatment goes deep.
What you feel or see Around thirty minutes of waiting while the anaesthetic takes effect.
What to do Sit back and relax; this is the quiet part of the visit.

The handpiece is placed against the skin and the pins deliver radiofrequency at the set depth, section by section. Depth is adjustable: shallower over thin skin around the eyes, deeper along the jaw and neck, in the same session.
What you feel or see A warm prickling sensation with pressure behind it.
What to do A full face takes around forty five minutes to an hour.
Redness resembling moderate sunburn for two to three days, sometimes with a faint grid pattern that fades within a day. Fine sandpapery texture for a few days as the skin recovers.
What you feel or see Warm, pink and slightly rough to the touch.
What to do Mineral SPF daily and a week off active skincare. Most people plan it for a Thursday.
Some tightening is visible within a week from the immediate collagen contraction. The real change is still to come.
What you feel or see The early firmness comes from existing collagen contracting with the heat.
What to do Keep to mineral SPF. Active skincare can return once the week is up.
Most people have three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Each session repeats the same visit: numbing, treatment, two to three days of redness.
What you feel or see The same warm prickling and short recovery as the first.
What to do Plan the next session four to six weeks on.
The final session of a typical course. Results continue improving after the final session, so the best is still to come.
What you feel or see Familiar by now.
What to do Diary the three month review.
Regents Park Aesthetics reviews the outcome at three months. New collagen has been building since the first session.
What you feel or see Firmer contour where the jaw and neck were treated.
What to do Photographs at the same angle and lighting as before treatment, so the change is a fair comparison.
The real change comes from new collagen, which builds over three to six months. At the six month point you and your clinician reassess.
What you feel or see The full result of the course.
What to do Reassess together at the clinic.
Topical anaesthetic is applied and left for around thirty minutes. Numbing matters here, because this treatment goes deep.

Your result is reviewed at three months.
New collagen builds over three to six months, so the course is reviewed on that timescale rather than on the day.
Every Morpheus8 patient is assessed before anything is booked. That assessment is carried out by a qualified clinician, a doctor, nurse or other qualified practitioner, who sets the treatment depth and the plan for your course.

Prices are a guide from the current clinic price list; your exact plan and cost are confirmed at consultation.
From £500 for a small area such as eyes, neck or chest. Face and neck is £800, as is a body area such as the abdomen. Most people have three sessions, so budget the course. We quote the full plan at consultation.
Three for most people, spaced four to six weeks apart. Deeper acne scarring or significant laxity can need four to six. Body areas need three at minimum because the skin is thicker.
Twelve to eighteen months for most people. Many patients have one maintenance session a year to hold the result rather than repeating the full course.
Morpheus 8 is a brand of radiofrequency microneedling. Every Morpheus 8 treatment is RF microneedling, but not the reverse. What separates it is depth. Most RF microneedling devices reach 2 to 3mm; Morpheus 8 reaches 4mm, which is why it can address contour rather than only skin quality. If your goal is skin quality alone, standalone microneedling is the gentler and cheaper route.
Both tighten by different routes. Ultraformer HIFU uses focused ultrasound at fixed depths with no downtime. Morpheus 8 uses radiofrequency with micro pins, treats skin quality and contour together, and has two to three days of redness. Regents Park Aesthetics offers both in London, and your clinician recommends the one that suits your tissue.
Morpheus 8 remodels structure, so it pairs naturally with treatments that work on skin quality or volume. Profhilo and polynucleotides support hydration and skin health between sessions, PRP supports healing and response, and on the body EMSCULPT Neo addresses the muscle layer that radiofrequency does not reach. For surface resurfacing beyond what micro pins do, CO2 laser is the comparison we make at consultation.
Topical anaesthetic is applied for thirty minutes beforehand, which handles most of it. You will feel warmth and pressure, and the jawline and forehead are the sharper areas. It is uncomfortable rather than painful.
For laxity, jawline softening and scarring, yes, often: it reaches deeper than skincare can. Significant sagging can be better served by surgery, and a double chin that is mostly fat by another route, and your clinician will tell you which you have.
Forty eight hours, which gives the micro channels time to close and keeps the skin calm.
Wait twelve hours, then use lukewarm water and a plain non-foaming cleanser with clean hands. Skip hot water, flannels and any exfoliating cleanser for a week.
Twenty four hours, using a clean brush or fingers rather than an old sponge. Mineral makeup is kinder to recovering skin than a heavy liquid base.
Seven days. Retinol, vitamin C, AHAs and BHAs all go back in gradually after that, one product at a time rather than everything at once.
Yes, and it helps. In the first week we encourage very little. A plain hyaluronic serum with no fragrance or actives, a bland moisturiser and mineral SPF.
Leave it forty eight hours. Alcohol dehydrates and dilates blood vessels, which prolongs the redness and swelling.
With mineral SPF 50, and in the shade where you can. Treated skin is extra sensitive to the sun for several weeks, so protecting it keeps your result even and bright.
It suits deeper skin tones well, because radiofrequency does not target melanin. Regents Park Aesthetics patch tests and starts gently where needed, and careful sun protection afterwards keeps the result even.
Radiofrequency at depth can reduce fat in the treated area, which is exactly the aim on a double chin. Your clinician assesses facial fat before setting depth, so slimmer faces keep their softness.
Under the eyes, yes, at a shallower setting with a protective shield in place. The eyelid itself is left untreated.
Yes, with a gap. Regents Park Aesthetics leaves at least two weeks after filler, and preferably four, because radiofrequency heat can affect some filler products. Tell us what you have had and when.
Some tightening, yes, from immediate collagen contraction. The meaningful change comes from new collagen building over three to six months, so a single session is a start rather than a course.
Every Morpheus8 plan starts with a conversation and a close look at your tissue, your facial volume and the depth that suits each area, so the treatment you book is the one that suits you.
