Loosened skin on the buttocks, a crease beneath them that has deepened with weight change, and cellulite dimpling are what people ask Morpheus8 to do on the buttocks. InMode's guidance lists the buttocks with the abdomen and thighs as a thick-fat body area, treated with the 40-pin body tip at depth. The heat contracts the deeper tissue and builds collagen, which firms the skin over the months after the course. A course is three sessions, four to six weeks apart. From £295 per session at 8 Clinic, 8 Devonshire Place, with the price in writing at a free consultation.
What it does on the buttocks
The body tip reaches 7 mm below the skin with about 1 mm of heat beyond that, and the clinician works the buttocks and the crease in zones with two or three passes. Skin tightens from about three weeks and firms over the three months after the course. Cellulite dimpling can be treated on the evidence of a very small study of the thighs, and the clinician tells you what to expect for yours. Lift and volume are a muscle or a filler question, not a skin one, and the clinician says which plan fits.
The evidence
The device is FDA-cleared in the US for dermatological procedures needing coagulation or contraction of soft tissue, with the body tip cleared to a maximal depth of 7 mm. Published body work includes a 2022 cellulite study of the backs of the thighs of two women, treated in two sessions four weeks apart, and a 2026 review of 41 studies. No study measures the buttocks alone, and we say so.
Who it suits, and the session
Loosened or crepey skin on the buttocks on skin that still has elasticity, or cellulite dimpling with a clear picture of what a very small study can promise. At the higher energy levels the device is cleared in the US for skin types I to IV; darker skin is treated at lower settings. Numbing cream for 30 to 45 minutes, then both sides in one session, with redness, swelling, grid marks and some bruising for several days. Loose clothing and a soft seat for the first days; the downtime page goes through the days. The change shows from about three weeks, peaks at three months after the last session, and lasts a year or more in our clinic's experience with one maintenance session a year.
