Evolve Q&A with Renee

Evolve Q&A

Have you been longing for a more sleek and slender body shape, but not seeing the results you want from a healthy diet and exercise alone? Read on! Evolve just may be the solution you’ve been searching for! Renee Melanson of Triangle Facial Plastic Surgery in Raleigh, NC is here to address our most frequently asked questions about the latest, most innovative, non-invasive body contouring treatments available today!

What is Evolve?
Evolve is a device that we use to remodel skin, target adipose tissue (fat), and tone muscles on a single platform. With Evolve, we can non-invasively sculpt and contour multiple areas of the body at the same time. This innovative hands-free solution allows us to provide the highest quality of aesthetic treatments available today.

How does Evolve differ from a surgical procedure?
Evolve is non-invasive as it uses radiofrequency energy to deliver heat to the treated areas and destroy fat cells within the body. No anesthesia, no surgery, no scars, no downtime.

Is Evolve safe?
Yes, Evolve is safe and effective on all skin types.

Does Evolve hurt?
No. Evolve Tite and Evolve Trim treatments create a warming sensation as the radiofrequency energy heats the adipose tissue under the skin. Evolve Tone emits direct electrical muscle stimulation causing the muscle group to contract, similar to the sensation you would feel during a muscle workout.

What is the difference between Evolve Tite, Trim and Tone?
Evolve Tite tightens loose skin on the abdomen, arms, legs (thighs and knees), and buttocks.
Evolve Trim reduces the appearance of cellulite and is a wonderful non-surgical substitute for liposuction.
Evolve Tone tones muscles and enhances the shape and tone of your body.

Can the Evolve treatment procedures be combined?
Yes, it is quite common to combine Evolve treatment procedures to target multiple issues and sections of the body in the same visit.

How long does it take?
Treatment times vary depending on the patient’s goals and recommended treatment package. Many patients come into the office for multiple treatments in a single appointment and leave within 1-2 hours.
Tite: 30-45 minutes
Trim: 15-20 minutes
Tone: 30-60 minutes

How do I know if I’m a good candidate for Evolve?
Evolve is ideal for healthy adults with a BMI of <30. Evolve is not a solution for candidates who are overweight and looking for a major weight loss. Evolve is great for candidates looking to eliminate residual stubborn fat and loose skin after weight loss, child birthing, and aging.

Does Evolve help you lose weight?
No, Evolve does not help you lose weight. It helps enhance the shape of your body.

How long before I see results?
Results may become apparent after 4 weeks.

How long do the results last?
Since fat cells are permanently destroyed during Evolve Trim and Evolve Tite treatments, results are permanent, as long as a healthy lifestyle and weight are maintained. Evolve Tone results may be maintained by enrolling in our membership plan. Individual results may vary.

How many treatments are required?
We typically recommend a series of 6 treatments to achieve optimal results.

How much does Evolve cost?
We offer various treatment packages for Evolve starting at $1,500. Combination packages and memberships are available. Schedule a free consultation and we will evaluate a plan and provide a quote to achieve your aesthetic goals.

How does Evolve compare to Coolsculpting?
While both are non-surgical fat reducing body sculpting technologies, they differ. Coolsculpting eliminates fat by freezing the fat, but it does not tighten the skin. Evolve’s hands free system uses heat to melt fat and offers benefits including skin tightening, cellulite reduction, muscle toning, quick and painless treatments, faster results, and zero downtime.
