The fold of crepey skin above the kneecap, and the loosened skin around the knee that shows in a skirt or shorts, is a curved area that InMode's guidance names for the 24-pin tip at 3 to 4 mm. The skin over the knee is thin over bone, so the deepest settings are not used there. The heat contracts the tissue and builds collagen, which tightens the fold over the months after the course. A course is three sessions, four to six weeks apart, quoted per leg or both. From £295 per session at 8 Clinic, 8 Devonshire Place, with the price in writing at a free consultation.
What it does on the knees
The clinician works the skin above and around the knee in zones with two or three passes at the depths set for a curved area with thin skin over bone. The fold above the kneecap tightens from about three weeks and firms over the three months after the course. A pad of fat above the knee is a different question, which we treat another way at the same address, and the clinician tests the skin's elasticity at the free consultation and says which plan fits.
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 knees alone, and we say so; the body series and the 2026 review of 41 studies are on the Morpheus8 Body page.
Who it suits, and the session
Crepey or loosened skin above and around the knees on skin that still has elasticity, often treated with the inner thighs. 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 knees in one session, with redness, swelling, grid marks and some bruising for several days, loose trousers and exercise from day four; 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.
