Dr Mo Hamed, founder of Dr Motox Clinic, featured in Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection and treated Olivia’s knees with a personalised plan combining Morpheus8, polynucleotides and Profhilo. The aim was to improve skin quality around the knees, an area that can be overlooked when people think about aesthetic treatment.
For anyone asking whether Olivia Attwood has been treated by Dr Motox Clinic, this is the specific treatment we can confirm: Dr Mo carried out the knee skin-quality treatment described here. It is an example of our approach to assessing a concern and considering different ways to address it, rather than choosing a treatment solely because it is fashionable.

Bringing skin quality into the television conversation
Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection explores cosmetic procedures, the reasons people consider them and the decisions behind them. Dr Mo’s appearance brought attention to a less familiar area of aesthetics: improving the appearance and quality of skin on the body, rather than changing facial features.
It was a proud moment for our clinic to contribute to that conversation. The combination used for Olivia was an innovative part of her individual plan, bringing an energy-based treatment and injectable skin-quality treatments into the same overall approach. That does not establish that the combination is right for everyone, or that it produces a guaranteed outcome.
Why the skin around the knees needs its own assessment
Knees bend, straighten and bear weight throughout the day. The appearance of the skin changes with position, and folds during movement are normal. A photograph with the leg straight can therefore tell a different story from one taken with the knee bent. Treatment decisions should take account of those differences.
When someone asks about this area, we assess the skin itself and clarify what is causing the concern. Fine creasing, laxity, changes after weight loss and differences in the underlying tissue are not interchangeable problems. The goal is to identify what may be improved, what is normal anatomy and where a non-surgical treatment has limits.
What Morpheus8 contributes to the plan
Morpheus8 combines microneedles with radiofrequency energy. The needles deliver energy at selected depths, producing controlled heating in tissue. Settings and applicators are chosen according to the treatment area and clinical assessment; the technique is more involved than a standard microneedling facial.
In Olivia’s plan, Morpheus8 formed the energy-based part of the approach to skin quality. It should not be described as removing excess skin or replacing surgery. The response varies, and treatment around the knees requires care with the local anatomy and the amount of tissue present. A higher energy or deeper treatment is not automatically a better choice.
Why polynucleotides and Profhilo were also considered
Polynucleotide treatments are used in aesthetics with the aim of improving skin quality. Research is developing, and effects depend on the product, treatment area and protocol. We should be clear about that evolving evidence, particularly when discussing a bespoke combination rather than a single established treatment protocol.
Profhilo is a hyaluronic-acid-based injectable used for skin-quality and laxity concerns. Its role differs from that of a filler placed primarily to create contour or volume. For Olivia, it was included within the overall plan for the skin around her knees. The individual plan should establish which treatment is appropriate at each stage and allow the skin’s response to guide what happens next.
A considered combination rather than a universal package
The reason to consider complementary treatments is that one concern may have several contributing factors. An energy-based procedure and an injectable skin-quality treatment act differently, so the discussion needs to cover what each adds and whether the extra intervention is justified.
Combining treatments can also add complexity. Timing, recovery, product selection and the skin’s response all matter. There is no claim here that this exact three-part knee treatment has been proved superior to every alternative. The plan for another patient may involve fewer treatments, a staged approach or no procedure at all.
What recovery and risk discussions should cover
Morpheus8 can cause redness, swelling, discomfort and temporary visible marks. Radiofrequency microneedling also carries risks including burns, scarring, pigment changes and unintended fat loss; serious complications have been reported with certain uses. Injectable treatments can cause bruising, swelling, infection and other product-specific complications.
A consultation should review medical history, medications, skin conditions, pregnancy or breastfeeding and previous treatment. It should also explain recovery and when to seek help. This is a clinical procedure, not a treatment to copy from a television clip or recreate at home. Results should be assessed after healing, rather than judged from temporary swelling.
