INMODE ELEVATE UK

Aqua Kyoto, SoHo On Thursday, July 3, 2025, InMode, the creator of the iconic Morpheus 8, hosted Elevate UK 2025 in central London. The event saw an inspiring day of advanced education and peer collaboration, culminating in a rooftop celebration at Aqua Kyoto in the heart of SoHo, which was attended by deputy editor Kezia Parkins and sales manager Lisa Merrigan.

Masterclasses focused on RF-assisted liposculpture, female intimate health and elevating outcomes and boosting ROI with InMode’s highly in-demand treatments.

After a full day of learning and hands-on demonstrations, attendees from across the UK still somehow had the energy to party the night away.

With panoramic skyline views at sunset, live music, seasonal Japanese small plates, and a serene cherry blossom-styled terrace, the venue offered the perfect setting for swapping stories, networking, and reflecting on the day’s insights.

Attendees got to hear passionate speeches from the brand’s co-founder Dr Stephen Mulholland, and UK managing director, Victoria Voysey, about InMode’s journey, the brand’s love for the practitioners using the tech and scope for the future.

And after, Kezia and Lisa caught up with former editor Anna Dobbie, now marketing manager at Inmode UK and rubbed shoulders with some of the top aesthetic doctors in the UK, including Dr Dev Patel, Dr Mo Hamed, Dr Natasha Berridge, Dr Shirin Lakhani, and so many more.
