As we get older, our bodies can change in ways we don’t always anticipate. While a healthy diet and normal exercise help keep the body lean, even with our best efforts, stubborn fat pockets and loose skin can appear, impacting both our confidence and comfort. Dr. Joseph Berardi and his caring team offer solutions designed to address these concerns and can help you reclaim a toned and youthful appearance through advanced body contouring treatments.
Two of the most popular treatments we offer are Evolve Body Contouring and BodyTite. Both procedures can help sculpt and refine your body using different technologies and techniques. Understanding each treatment as well as the benefits that each provides will help you determine which is right for your needs.
Evolve Body Contouring: Non-Invasive Refinement
Evolve Body Contouring provides a state-of-the-art solution for patients that are looking for a non-invasive alternative to surgery. The Evolve Body Contouring system incorporates three treatments into one platform: Evolve Tite for skin tightening, Evolve Trim for fat reduction, and Evolve Tone for muscle toning. Each treatment uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to target problem areas and refine your contours over time.
What Makes Evolve a Great Alternative
Many patients are looking for results that fit seamlessly into their lifestyle. Evolve Body Contouring provides fast and noticeable results while not requiring surgery or downtime for recovery. Patients who opt for the Evolve Body Contouring treatments remark at how quickly the results appear and how little impact there is on the body. Here’s why Evolve may be the perfect solution:
- Completely Non-Invasive: Evolve Body Contouring does not require incisions or needles. The treatment instead uses applicators applied to the skin using radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetism to tone the muscles and skin. Many patients have shared that the treatment feels like a warm, deep-tissue massage. The treatment can be completed within an hour.
- No Downtime: You will be able to return to your daily routine immediately after treatment. If you are busy with work, family, and personal obligations, Evolve Body Contouring offers a quick and convenient way to shape your body without the need for a long recovery.
- Gradual Results That Look Natural: Most Evolve Body Contour treatments incorporate around six to eight sessions to meet the desired goals. The amount of treatments can vary depending on your needs. Your body will naturally respond by tightening the skin and reducing fat with each session. You will notice a more refined and natural appearance with each completed session.
Is Evolve Right for You?
Evolve Body Contouring is the best fit for you if you’re seeking gradual, natural, but noticeable enhancement without surgery. It’s best if your goal is to eliminate mild to moderate skin laxity and localized areas of stubborn fat. As the treatments are non-invasive, it makes for a popular choice for patients looking for a treatment with no downtime.
BodyTite: Minimally Invasive with Dramatic Results
If you’re looking for more significant body sculpting but aren’t ready for traditional surgery, BodyTite offers a minimally invasive option that delivers quick and effective results. BodyTite uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to melt away fat while tightening the skin in the treated area. This advanced technology not only reduces fat deposits but also addresses loose skin as well making it a great option if you are looking for both fat reduction and skin tightening.
Why BodyTite Stands Out
Patients looking for more substantial improvement in body contouring may prefer BodyTite as the therapy provides near-surgical results with minimal downtime. Here’s what makes it an effective treatment:
- Minimally Invasive Procedure: While not as invasive as surgery, BodyTite involves small incisions that allow a specialized probe to deliver radio frequency (RF) energy beneath the skin. The radio frequency creates energy that melts fat which is then gently suctioned away and tightens the skin. The incisions needed for the therapy are tiny and typically don’t require stitches, leaving minimal scarring.
- Significant Skin Tightening: BodyTite is great at addressing both fat reduction and skin tightening in as little as one session. Addressing both fat reduction and skin tightening is exceptionally beneficial for areas of the body like the abdomen, thighs, or arms, where both fat and skin laxity may be a concern.
- One-Time Treatment with Fast Results: Non-invasive treatments can provide similar results without recovery time but they require multiple sessions to achieve noticeable results. BodyTite typically delivers desired results after just one procedure. Patients notice improvements within weeks and will see full results appearing in the months following the treatment as the body continues to heal and tighten.
- Dramatic Results Without Major Surgery: If you’re looking for a noticeable transformation but want to avoid the lengthy recovery of traditional surgery, BodyTite offers a terrific alternative. The results are quicker and more significant than what the non-invasive options can achieve. The downtime, typically a week, is still minimal compared to surgical procedures like tummy tucks.
Is BodyTite Right for You?
BodyTite is the perfect choice for you if you are looking for a quick and dramatic change in body contouring. It is a great option if your goal is to address more moderate or severe skin laxity or larger areas of stubborn fat. If you’re seeking more dramatic results with only a short recovery period, BodyTite can provide near-surgical results with very little recovery time.
Evolve vs. BodyTite: Key Differences
While both Evolve and BodyTite are effective in their own right, each offers a unique approach to body contouring. See the table below to help you decide which treatment might be best for you:
Choosing the Right Solution for You
Deciding which treatment between Evolve Body Contouring and BodyTite is right for you depends on your body goals, the amount of recovery time you can commit to, and your desired level of transformation. If you are looking for a non-invasive treatment with no downtime and gradual improvements, Evolve will be a great choice. If you are looking for a more significant and quick change and don’t mind a minimally invasive procedure, BodyTite can offer faster, more dramatic results.
