Is Evolve or Forma more effective? Looking to perk up my neck and lower face with something that won’t hurt. (photos)

Question

I’m looking to perk up my neck and lower face with something that won’t hurt (I have a crazy low pain tolerance). Would Forma or Evolve be more effective for me? How often do you need maintenance treatments?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

forma is used every 2-4 weeks Is to prevent but will not reverse.

most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift.  an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done.

For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed.  Options include:
1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face
2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping.
3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender
4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined

Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma.

See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option.  Best, Dr. Emer.

There are a few options for you to explore.  Evolve is a comfortable treatment that is well tolerated.  Another option is Evolve RF which combines FaceTite/AccuTite and Morheus8 treatments for enhanced results.  The treated area is numbed for patient comfort prior to these procedures.  We also offer ProNox for patients who may require a little extra relaxation.

Evolve is used Skin Remodeling, Fat Treatment and Muscle Toning the body. Forma is a great treatment that is pain free and will lift and tighten your face and neck.

Evolve typically treats larger areas like the abdomen, arms, legs, etc... Evoke is a hands-free technology that is specifically designed for chin and jowls. In terms of which is better, their technology is very similar. In light of the fact that you have a 'crazy' low pain tolerance, you may prefer Forma as it is described as feeling like a hot stone massage. Evoke, while very comfortable, does get a little hot at certain times and some people don't like the feeling of the device attached to their chin or jowls for an extended period of time. However, you will probably need fewer treatments with Evoke. They both would give great results.
