The chest between the collarbones and the top of the bust is thin skin over bone, and it shows sun and sleep early: vertical lines that deepen with a night on your side, crepey texture and mottled colour. InMode's guidance lists the decolletage among the thin-fat body areas, treated at shallow depth. The heat contracts the skin and builds collagen, which softens the lines and smooths the texture. 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 chest
The clinician treats the chest at shallow depths because there is little tissue over the breastbone, in our practice with the face tip or the body tip set for thin skin. Lines and crepey texture improve over the three months after the course as collagen rebuilds. Sun damage in the colour of the skin is not what Morpheus8 treats directly; pigmentation needs a different treatment, which the clinician names at the free consultation. The chest is often treated with the neck in one plan.
The evidence
The device is FDA-cleared in the US for dermatological procedures needing coagulation or contraction of soft tissue. No published study measures the chest alone, and we say so. The mechanism is the one studied on the face and neck, where a 2020 study of 247 patients treated with Morpheus8 and another radiofrequency device found 93% pleased.
Who it suits, and the session
Lines and crepey skin on the chest, in someone who wants the neck and chest to match a treated face. 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 the chest in one session, with redness, swelling and grid marks for several days. No sun on the area for a week, then SPF 50 every day for a month; 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.
