Evoke

[Music playing]

Hey everyone. Dr. John Burroughs at Springs Aesthetics. I heard I had a package or a gift commence I wanted to show everybody, so come on in with me. So this is my first unraveling here. Oh boy, look at this. We got our new InMode Evoke and you might be going, what the heck is that? Well Evoke is the best technology out there for non-invasively lifting the tissues of the lower face and even the neck. And it can also shrink like the gel fat pads. And if you have some fat underneath your chin, it’ll do that as well. The great thing about it is you have no anesthesia that’s needed, not even topical. You come in, you get to lay back in a nice comfortable chair, a little bit of ultrasound gels put on, and then we have two hand pieces or face pieces, one like this for the lower face.

And then you have the chin piece which fits underneath there. And basically once those are in place and the machine’s been turned on, you just relax. You’re left alone for 30 minutes and these are done once a week for four to six weeks. And then you’ve gotten your nice lifting result you do got to maintain. And so we’ll have a scheduled maintenance program. But having treated earlier forms with patients as well as myself, this thing is very comfortable, but it’s more powerful than what we had before. So I wanted everybody to follow me. We’re going to see one more thing, see if I can walk without falling.

So I am told we are the first in Southern Colorado to get this. So I wanted to show some representative photos. You can see this gentleman had some sagging there, a little bit of fat, and after his treatments, nice improvement. Same with this lady. More sagging skin, nice improvement. This one also had some loose skin right there. You can see how that’s been tightened up. And then here you can see some of the jowling there and how that’s been nicely lifted. So again, the great thing about this is you come in, you lay back, you relax, it’s done, you walk right out, there’s no pain, no anesthesias needed, and it’s completely non-invasive. So we’re very excited. We’re going to be starting these at the end of next week and it’s part of our no neck November. So everybody have a great day.

Hey everyone. Happy November 18th. This is Dr. John Burroughs at Springs Aesthetics and we’re doing our first live evoke treatment and we are the first in southern Colorado. To have this technology is amazing. It uses external radio frequency heat to contour and tighten the neck, and if you leave it on significant amount of time with each treatment, you can actually reduce fat all done in a contactless manner. So the probes that deliver the heat are underneath this chin strap and it’s hooked to the evoke machine. I’m going to walk past here.

Yep, you’re good.

That has temperature feedback. So we have it set at 43°. 43 is what you need to get the fat tightening or fat reduction in the skin tightening, and so she’s now at 43° and it tells us that by the yellow color here. How are you feeling so far?

Great.

Yeah.

Very comfortable.

Yeah, so it can feel warm as it first heats up, but as it keeps working, you basically get used to it. So most people only feel the warmth. They don’t have any discomfort and it’s very interesting in how it works. Now we’ve had an earlier generation of this that some of our followers and clients and patients may have had with the form where you move a device back and forth, but the nice thing about the evoke is that it takes away any technical error that could take place and you can just stay in the room by yourself, which is nice. Unfortunately in this COVID era right now to where you can be in the room, be on your phone, watch tv, have an iPad and nobody else is in the room, which is comforting for some people these days with the COVID infection going on. Now the way this works is it tightens and collapses part of the fibro septal network in the skin and that thereby develops collagen and improves the elastin into a more organized fashion, which will tighten the skin. Also, as I mentioned just a little bit earlier, when you reach that 43°, you can actually have lipolysis where some of the fat is going to be destroyed and then it just gets absorbed and it’ll be gone forever unless you have a large weight gain and the remaining fat can hypertrophy, but we won’t go there. Now, if you have a lot of fat in the neck, you’re still going to need liposuction.

Generally the liposuction is done right through a little incision right here, takes one, two stitches and you just pull out the fat. But this can be done with it and as part of a maintenance after you’ve done tightening of the neck either after surgery or our neck tight and face tight treatments, which we’ve shown on previous videos, and those are done from the inside of the skin, those ones you don’t need to suture, they go through just little tiny ports and that will tighten the skin. We’ve had success with the facet tight neck tight for the areas we’ve treated as high as 40% or a bit more and it can last three to four years. Now the evoke, you go through a series of six treatments once a week and then we recommend a maintenance schedule about every three to four months where you just do a single treatment.

The nice thing about this is you sit here, you’re comfortable and you’ll get nice results and no shots, no numbing cream, no discomfort, no downtime. It is basically a very straightforward, simple process and that’s what is making this so popular in the locations that are the first to get this technology and it’s unique in the way it works and there’s no other devices out there that does what the N Mode evoke will do. So we’re very excited to be bringing it into the practice. As I mentioned just a moment ago, it also is nice after surgery as a maintenance program, either after facelift or neck surgery to help maintain your results. You come in once a quarter and you get that done and it will help keep your nice results you’ve got from your surgery. Now, if you don’t do surgery and you start with the radiofrequency under the skin, I’m sorry, I forgot my handpiece there, that takes three to six months to kind of build up to its result, but it can last, like I mentioned, three to four years also with that this will be used in combination as your maintenance once you get to that nice result.

Now we’re also, I’m just going to briefly mention here the first in southern Colorado now to have the Morpheus eight, which treats with radio frequency from the outside. So these little pins that come through here deliver energy up to eight, a little bit more than eight millimeters. So for areas and patients that have a lot of neck fat or in other body areas like the back of the arms, back wings or abdomen or to tighten like the breast tissue to pull it up some, this is the device you need to have. Other popular areas are going to be above your knees and for cellulite reduction on the back of the thighs and upper buttocks area, but this is amazing technology and in mode is just doing amazing things where you get great results but you’re not having to have surgery, which is nice, where if you do it with surgery, it can compliment and do aspects that if you did with surgery, it could cause distortion or unnatural appearances, whereas this done with surgery can give you more natural looking results.

The other thing about the Morpheus too is you can turn up the energy pretty high and that can also cause lipolysis of unwanted fat, so like the jowls and the neck areas there. Now the eight is pretty powerful. That’s more for below the neck areas, but if there’s considerable fat in this area, we’re going to be using that fact we’re doing one tomorrow in that regard. So how are you feeling?

Very comfortable. I wish I had a TV in front of me right now.

Instead of getting in your personal space and personal time, the treatments are a half hour. If there’s more fat that you want to dress, you can go 45 minutes. You can also, as I mentioned, treat the lower face so it can help with jowls and tightening the lower face there. Some with the parentheses, nasal labial folds, but this is the chin attachment. So if you’re going to do both treatments, you got to do one first and then switch to the other, but it can be done in the same day. You just need to have a greater amount of time allotted for that. So again, after your six weeks of those initial treatments, you’re going to start really seeing nice results beginning about at the time of the six week point, but you’re going to start seeing the peak results about two months after that. So it is something that keeps building and improving. Do you have any comments while you’re having this done?

Come in on your lunch break and have this done with us.

A lunchtime lift.

Can go right back to work.

Yeah, so again, as part of no neck November, it’s 10% off of these procedures, anything that we do for the neck. And so I just wanted to point that out. This is our first live patient. We’ve done some others, but this is the one that graciously allowed to be videoed for this. So I hope everybody’s doing well and staying healthy. And the last thing I wanted to point out is that in this unfortunate COVID pandemic, this is a great procedure to have because we are following guidelines by the health authorities on trying to keep not only our patients healthy, but our staff. So your temperature gets checked as you come in. We make sure you haven’t had recent contact with known COVID or having symptoms that could be consistent with that. As long as that’s okay, we bring you back into a room, get you hooked up to your treatment, and then you can go on your way and have your next one scheduled in a week.

We also would clean, of course, the attachments in between each patient, but this is a good way to get aesthetic improvements unfortunately during this COVID era. And so we try to always provide not only safety but also results and we try to find things that give great results outside of surgery. Although surgery is my passion, there is such a demand from so many right now to get improvements, but to not have the downtime or the more aggressive nature that surgery can carry. So I think I’ve covered what I wanted to. Our promotion for no neck November ends the end of November, but we are going to have some promotional first evoke treatments through the end of the year. So you just need to call and we can let you know what those are. So everybody stay healthy. Have a great day, have a great Thanksgiving, and thank you for your time and listening.
