How it works
- The machine administers radiofrequency waves to targeted parts of your body.
- Radiofrequency waves work by targeting and killing your fat cells (radiofrequency lipolysis), which your body then eliminates naturally on its own.
- It also tightens the underlying structure of your skin, thereby boosting collagen and elastin production to encourage smooth and youthful curves.
- It utilizes electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscle contractions.
Procedure:
- Anesthesia is not required.
- The six Evolve Trim applicators will be placed on top of the target area, and gently strapped into place.
- For buttocks and legs, three applicators will be placed on both sides.
- When the treatment begins, the applicators will begin to heat up your skin.
- Once it reaches optimal temperature, your skin will feel very warm (but comfortable) and you’ll notice a gentle pulling sensation underneath the Evolve Trim paddles.
- Radiofrequency energy and vacuum work together to smooth unwanted stubborn pockets of fat and remodel the tissue.
Targeted areas:
- Abdomen
- Upper and lower arms
- Love handles, or flanks
- Hips
- Buttocks
- Thighs, or saddlebags
- Knees and ankles
Safety:
- Anesthesia is not required.
- There are no incisions or recovery time involved.
- Radiofrequency waves are a form of ultrasound technology, making them safe and gentle on your skin.
Convenience:
- Treatment generally takes 20 to 45 minutes.
- Most people will need between 4-6 treatments spread over 1-2 months for optimal results.
- Treatments should be administered 1 week apart.
- Some patients see immediate fat and cellulite improvements after the first session but the greatest improvement is following the final treatment with continued improvement for months thereafter.
- Maintenance sessions are recommended every 4 months to maintain results.
What to expect after the procedure?
- Some patients may experience very mild swelling or bruising around the treated area, as well as some pinkness of the skin. This usually just lasts for a few hours.
- Physical discomfort is not encountered.
Instructions before procedure:
- Do not receive any other laser treatments 7 days prior to Evolve treatment.
- Do not get sunburnt.
- Avoid lotions before the session.
Instructions post-procedure:
- No need for you to have any kind of down time.
- Patients are free to go back to their normal activities, including work, following the completion of a treatment.
- Keep the skin of the treated area hydrated with a good moisturizer.
- Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water and reduce alcohol intake between and after treatments.
Cost:
- Consultation is required for actual pricing.
Efficacy:
- Once the fat cells are destroyed, they won’t come back. However, if you gain weight in the future, there’s a chance that new fat cells can return to the previously treated area.
- Contraction of the skin is permanent, though the natural effects of aging may cause a bit of loosening over time.
