Evoke Skin Tightening

Evoke is better than Kybella if patients want both fat reduction and skin tightening. And Evoke has no downtime, no bruising, and no swelling. In fact, patients look immediately better after Evoke treatments. Kybella permanently destroys fat under the chin but it doesn’t tighten the skin. At Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center, Kybella is rarely recommended over Evoke. 

Evoke is better for patients who want moderate skin tightening with no downtime. FaceTite is better for patients who want maximum skin tightening and can plan 3 days of social downtime. Dr. Gustav Lo offers FaceTite in Naples, Traverse City, and Petoskey. 

In our experience, Morpheus8 generally helps acne and acne scarring. Unlike microneedling, Morpheus uses radiofrequency (RF) combined with the physical injury caused by the microneedles.

Think of it this way: Microneedling works like a roller, whereas Morpheus8 penetrates the skin like a single stamp.

After the gold-coated pins (microneedles) penetrate the skin and create controlled micro-wounds, RF (via heat) is released into the skin. This double mechanism of action stimulates collagen for tighter, smoother skin and injures the pilosebaceous unit to reduce active acne. As the skin heals, it stimulates collagen and the integrity and structure around the scar improve.

After a series of four treatments, many report improvement in active acne (even deep cystic jawline acne) for years to come. Commonly, a single Morpheus8 treatment offers overall anti-aging benefits and reduced scarring. We see cumulative and more dramatic results with a series of three to four monthly treatments.
