Morpheus8 in Chelsea, London

What Morpheus8 does
The needles reach a set depth and release radiofrequency energy there, so the effect happens in the layer that needs it.
Dr Sultan often runs Morpheus8 straight after FaceTite in the same appointment, while the area is still numb, so one recovery covers both.
Is Morpheus8 right for you?
Morpheus8 is a course, not a single appointment. Three sessions four to six weeks apart is the normal plan, and one session will not do what three will.
It usually suits
- Texture, open pores or early laxity
- Acne scarring you want softened
- You can commit to three appointments over three months
- You want something between skincare and surgery
It is the wrong treatment if
- You want one appointment and a finished result
- You have an active skin infection in the area
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
What to expect

What Morpheus8 is used for
- Lines and wrinkles
- Lines that appear when you move and lines that are there when your face is still are two different problems, and they need two different treatments.
- Sagging skin and laxity
- Whether loose skin can be tightened without surgery depends almost entirely on how much elasticity is left in it. That is the first thing he assesses.
- Jawline and double chin
- A soft jawline is fat, loose skin, or both. Which of the three it is decides the treatment, and it is not always obvious from the outside.
- Thin or lined lips
- Adding shape and adding hydration are two different treatments. Most people asking for lip filler want less of it than they think.
- Acne scarring
- Acne scarring is improved over a course rather than erased in one appointment. Anyone promising otherwise is not being straight with you.
- Loose skin after weight loss
- Skin does not always contract to match weight that has gone. Whether it can be tightened depends on how much elasticity is left in it.
Treatments that work with Morpheus8
- FaceTite
- Done in the same appointment, deeper, for the jaw and neck.
- CO2 laser resurfacing
- Stronger on surface texture, with a full week of downtime.
- acne scar treatment

Please read This page describes Morpheus8 in general terms. It is not medical advice and it is not a diagnosis.

If you are unwell, or you are under the care of another doctor, tell him before you book.
Common questions
How many Morpheus8 sessions do I need?
It is usually a course, unless it is being combined with FaceTite. The number is agreed at the consultation.
Can Morpheus8 be combined with FaceTite?
Yes, and Dr Sultan frequently does both in one appointment while the area is still numb.
How much is a consultation?
A consultation is £150. It covers a full assessment and a written treatment plan.
