Evolve is Linville Plastic Surgery’s newest non-invasive body contouring. It can help reduce fat in areas resistant to diet and exercise, tighten skin on the body and limbs, and even build muscle in the arms, legs, abs, and glutes. The technology was developed by Inmode, the company who developed BodyTite, FaceTite, AccuTite, and Morpheus8.
EvolveTite uses paddles placed on the skin to heat the skin and underlying tissue to temperatures between 40 and 43 degrees Celsius, maintaining this temperature for a period of time, resulting in gradual contraction of the skin. Patients can expect to have between 4 and 8 treatments on EvolveTite, and each session lasts from 35 to 65 minutes.
EvolveTrim uses a different set of paddles placed over the areas of stubborn fat. While it won’t treat fat stored deep under the skin, it’s great for small pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. The EvolveTrim treatment also results in some skin tightening to enhance the results. Patients who want even more skin tightening can combine this with the EvolveTite treatment. The sessions last about 15 minutes, and 6 sessions are recommended for most patients, spaced 1 week apart.
EvolveTone uses special technology designed to activate underlying muscles in the abdomen, buttocks, arms, or legs to build and tone muscles.
The Evolve system is a wonderful option for patients who have:
It isn’t a substitute for a tummy tuck or more invasive treatment, but it’s great for patients who want no downtime, no pain, and an improvement in their body shape. Ideal patients have a BMI of 30 or under. The technology targets skin laxity, as well as fat and muscles just beneath the skin. A significant layer of fat might require a more aggressive or more invasive treatment for effective reduction.
EvolveTite and EvolveTrim both use Bipolar Radiofrequency to bring the tissue to 40-43 degrees Celsius, encouraging skin contraction, and (when the Trim applicators are used) causing destruction of fat cells beneath the surface of the skin. The procedure does not cause pain, but feels like a warm heating pad or hot stone massage. Patients are able to relax during the procedure, and no anesthesia, either local or general, is required.
While many patients start to see subtle results at 3 treatments, most patients won’t see significant results until the 6th treatment, and the results will continue to develop for several months following the final treatment.
The destruction of fat cells is permanent, though remaining fat cells can still change in size. Contraction of the skin is permanent, though the aging process will eventually cause the skin to become less tight over time. Think of the treatment as “rolling back the clock” to a point in time where you had tighter skin.
