Evoke by InMode is an FDA-cleared facial remodeling treatment that uses heat from bipolar radiofrequency energy to tighten and firm tissue in the cheeks, jawline, and neck. Along with slimming the lower face, softening nasolabial folds, and reducing the appearance of jowls, Evoke can reduce unwanted fat, making it a noninvasive option for treating a double chin.
Evokeâs hands-free applicators deliver RF energy heat into the subdermal layer of the skin, targeting whatâs known as the fibro-septal network (FSN), to tighten existing collagen fibers and stimulate new collagen and elastin production.Â
While it can reach temperatures of up to 43°C (109°F), Evoke isnât painful; providers say it feels like a hot stone massage. âThe treatment is quick and painless,â says Dr. Yael Halaas, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon in New York City.
Over the weeks and months following your treatment, this new collagen and elastin makes skin firmer, tighter, and more elastic, for overall rejuvenation.Â
The treatment is similar to InModeâs Forma, with a few key differences. Evoke has hands-free applicators, held against your lower cheeks or under the chin with straps. This means Evoke is more limited in terms of treatment areas (Forma can also treat areas like the forehead and eyelids), but it also reduces the amount of time your provider needs to spend treating you, once they get the settings adjustedâwhich may make Evoke treatments more affordable than more high-touch treatment options.Â
Like other nonsurgical facial contouring and skin tightening procedures, Evoke results wonât match those of a traditional facelift. But it can be a good option for people who are bothered by early signs of aging or want to avoid the risks, expense, and downtime of plastic surgery.
