Effective Treatments for Making Tiger Stripes or Stretch Marks Fade Away
Discover the treatments a board certified plastic surgeon can use to make stretch marks less visible. Dr. Shruti Tannan explains in this ASPS video.
Evolve Tite by InMode is a non-invasive, hands-free, and zero-downtime skin tightening and fat reduction treatment. Evolve Tite delivers bipolar radiofrequency energy through applicators placed on the skin surface. The energy works at the level of the skin and subdermal fat layer. The radiofrequency technology has been shown to stimulate collagen and elastin production while simultaneously causing fat reduction (lipolysis). Evolve Tite can be used to treat a variety of areas, including the arms, abdomen, and legs.
We brought this device into our Plastic Surgery office because it really rounds out our options for our patients. Specifically, if you are looking for a noninvasive option to make modest improvements in trouble spots, keep reading. Tannan Plastic Surgery is not your average medspa. We have the full range of non-invasive aesthetic treatments available plus plastic surgery (for situations where you need a more powerful procedure). This means we can tailor your specific treatment to meet your individual goal.
Here are some factors to consider when deciding if Evolve Tite skin tightening treatment is right for you.
The Evolve Tite treatment is performed in your plastic surgeon’s office. The treatment area will be cleansed and prepped with ultrasound gel. A small handpiece will be used to deliver radiofrequency energy to the skin and subcutaneous fat. The treatment itself feels like a warm, tingling sensation, and the heat is like a hot stone massage.
The treatment typically takes about 30 minutes to complete. You may experience some redness, swelling, and bruising after the treatment. These side effects are usually mild and will resolve on their own within a day or two. You may also notice some tightness in the treated area. This is normal and will also resolve on its own.
To see maximal results we recommend a minimum of 6 treatments. For your convenience we have a monthly plan where you can come in once a week for your Evolve Tite treatment for up to three months. This allows you take advantage of the technology in a really impactful way and make sure you get as many sessions as you can to maximize your fat removal and skin tightening goals.
You can expect to see results from Evolve Tite treatment within a few weeks. In weeks 1 and 2, you may notice some slight redness or swelling after the treatment. These side effects are usually mild and will resolve on their own within a few days. You may also notice some tightness in the treated area. This is normal and will also resolve on its own.
After about a month, you will start to see the full results of the treatment. Your skin will appear tighter. You may also notice a reduction in wrinkles and creases in your skin. The full results of the treatment will be visible within 3-6 months. The results of the treatment will vary depending on the individual, but most patients experience a significant improvement in the appearance of their skin. Your skin and fat should appear tighter and more compact. Remember best results are seen after a series of at least 6 treatment sessions, and can take up to 9 to see optimal results!
Evolve Tite allows us to noninvasively tighten both the skin and fat all over your body. CoolSculpting can only reduce fat, but not tighten skin. The radiofrequency technology in Evolve Tite actually causes remodeling of collagen so that after the fat is melted, the skin sticks down better, rather than sagging or hanging. Now this is not a silver bullet. In some cases, the excess skin and fat are better treated with a step up from noninvasive treatments like BodyTite, Liposuction or Plastic Surgery. This is why it is best to see a board-certified plastic surgeon who has all of these potential options at their fingertips for their patients. We can truly tailor the treatment to suit your specific needs.
Evolve Tite lets us remove fat and tighten skin through radiofrequency technology in a procedure that is truly noninvasive. Coolsculpting freezes fat and does nothing to tighten skin, and CoolSculpting can actually make people grow more fat as an adverse reaction! Bottom Line: Evolve Tite helps us achieve results that are more consistent at fat removal and simultaneously tighten skin, making it superior to outdated CoolSculpting procedures.
Evolve Tite skin tightening procedure cost is based on treating body areas. We can treat multiple areas at a time. Each individual body area costs $300 per treatment. A minimum of 6 treatments are required to see results in a given area. You can choose to either purchase the minimal 6 treatments for $1750 or you could do the monthly membership, which is $1,000 per month for a minimum of three months. You can come as often as once a week for the body area being treated.
Sometimes we treat multiple body areas to achieve maximal results. For example we might do BodyTite to the bra fat while also doing a Tummy Tuck under general anesthesia. After the Tummy Tuck you may want to tighten skin and fat on your thighs as you start to move about the world with more confidence. The best way to get a precise cost for procedures with a consultation with Dr. Tannan. Our surgical coordinator will give you a cost specific to your goals.
