Evoke Skin Tightening
What we tell our patients: Evoke is a groundbreaking treatment that slims, sculpts, and tightens the lower face and jawline. It restructures adipose tissue and tightens skin on the lower face and under the chin with zero pain and zero downtime. A patient favorite!
What is Evoke?
Evoke is a non-invasive facial remodeling technology that uses radiofrequency energy to lift and tighten skin. Over time and with a series of treatments, the radiofrequency energy internally contours and restructures skin and fat tissue in targeted areas like cheeks, jawline and the under-chin (submental) area.
Evoke heats the skin and underlying tissues over a few minutes and then maintains the temperature constantly throughout the entire treatment. At this temperature Evoke stimulates new collagen production and tightens skin at the cellular level. Evoke can also be customized to destroy fat in the jowls and under the chin for a more defined jawline.
The steps of Evoke skin tightening in
Traverse City, Petoskey, or Naples
- Come in for a complimentary consultation. Our aesthetic consultants will personalize your plan and help choose the best treatment to slim your jawline or reduce skin sagging or fullness under the chin.
- Schedule your appointments. Evoke treatments are scheduled about every week for 3-6 weeks. Treatments take 30-45 minutes. Most patients say their skin looks tighter immediately. The skin relaxes after 24 hours and then wait for the results.
- How long do Evoke results take? The results are most visible at 3 months – that’s when you notice a more defined jawline and slimmer lower face. And then you get Evoke treatments as needed for maintenance.

Evoke vs Morpheus8

“Evoke is the most exciting jaw slimming technology to date. Our patients start to notice laxity in their 30s and this is the most effective noninvasive way to snatch the jawline. We have multiple patients who bring their computers or a book and relax through the treatments – and they leave looking better!”

Evoke Frequently Asked Questions
Evoke is better than CoolSculpting. Evoke is a cosmetic treatment that reduces fat under the chin and in the lower face and simultaneously tightens the skin.
CoolSculpting permanently reduces fat under the chin but it does not slenderize the lower face or tighten skin. Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center offers CoolSculpting Elite and Evoke. As technology has advanced, we rarely recommend CoolSculpting instead of Evoke.
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.
