Now you can sculpt your body the way you want with the new state-of-the-art Evolve Trim body contouring treatments. This non-invasive treatment is ideal for fat and cellulite reduction and body sculpting for large areas such as the abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs, knees and buttocks.
InMode’s Evolve Trim technology combines radio frequency energy, deep tissue heating, and light vacuum pressure to target underlying subcutaneous fat. The heat melts fat cells and tightens the skin, while the vacuum pressure and energy pulses reshape the body. It’s a safe, non-surgical substitute to liposuction and innovative alternative to existing “fat freezing” technologies like CoolSculpting.
Best of all, an Evolve Trim treatment is quick – just 30-minutes – and delivers long-lasting results with zero downtime. Because it is a hands-free treatment, you can read a book, catch up on email, take a power nap, or get another spa service simultaneously.
What Issues Des Evolve Trim Body Shaping Address?
Evolve Trim fat removal treatments and cellulite reduction treatments address stubborn fat in larger body areas. Customized treatments are designed to target your specific needs so the end result is a slimmer appearance with no downtime. Also, multiple body areas can be treated simultaneously.
- Abdomen (belly fat or muffin top)
- Flanks (love handles)
- Legs or thighs
- Buttocks
How Does Evolve Trim Body Sculpting Work?
A non-invasive alternative to liposuction, Evolve Trim reduces stubborn fat deposits, improves the appearance pf cellulite, and shapes and contours the body. This FDA-cleared treatment uses a combination of clinically proven modalities including deep tissue heating, radiofrequency (RF) energy, and suction coupled with negative vacuum pressure.
The Evolve Trim hands-free applicators (6 paddles per treatment) are placed on the treatment area – or areas. The radiofrequency energy distributes heat to the skin and underlying fat, causing the tissue to heat. The vacuum and controlled energy pulses work together.
Fat Reduction, Cellulite Reduction & Skin Tightening
The radio frequency energy distributes heat into the targeted tissue and underlying fat causing the tissue to heat and contract. Once the targeted tissue reaches temperature (43-44 degrees centigrade), a precise high voltage energy pulse is delivered to destroy the localized fat cells. The heating effect stimulates collagen which helps tighten the skin and fibrous tissues that cause cellulite. The vacuum and controlled energy pulses work synergistically together to deliver beautiful body contouring results and fat reduction.
Over time, the destroyed fat cells are swept away by the body’s lymphatic system, which is the body’s natural process for damaged cell removal. Results are long-lasting, noticeable and natural-looking.
What are some of the most common factors that lead to the loss of skin elasticity on our arms, legs, belly and more? Aging, weight loss, childbirth, and good old gravity to name a few. Unfortunately, working out and eating well won’t help you tone and tighten loose skin. But non-invasive Evolve Tite body remodeling treatments will.
Slow down the clock and firm up your skin with this non-surgical, tightening technology from InMode. Evolve Tite uses radio-frequency energy to heat, target and remodel the skin (skin contraction). The FDA-approved Evolve Tite technology uses 8 hand-free applicators to deliver uniform heating to the surface of the skin and dermal layers below to stimulate new collagen production. It’s safe, comfortable, and quick – just 30 minutes!
What Issues Does Evolve Tite Remodeling Address?
Evolve Tite body remodeling and skin tightening treatments improve the skin elasticity and appearance on larger areas of the body. Treatments can be customized and tailored to address your specific problem areas. In fact, multiple body areas can be treated at the same time.
- Abdomen (belly fat or muffin top)
- Arms (bat wings)
- Legs, Inner and Outer Thighs
- Knees
- Buttocks
Muscle tone is important for our bodies for so many reasons. It reduces body fat, increases energy, and wards off sickness and disease. Because muscle tone affects the look of our bodies, it can also play a big part in our self-confidence.
Of course, all bodies are different. But sometimes, certain stubborn spots just won’t tone, no matter how many crunches or squats you do. That’s where Evolve Tone body sculpting treatments cone in. This innovative body contouring treatment utilizes EMS technology (electrical muscle stimulation) to target specific muscles in the abdomen and buttocks to refine and sculpt your natural physique – without the downtime or scars associated with invasive surgery.
It’s safe, comfortable, and quick, at 30 minutes per treatment. Because it’s a hands free procedure, you can read a magazine, scroll Instagram, or indulge in a nap during the service.
Evolve Tone Fast Facts
Evolve Tone is a non-surgical, hands-free muscle toning treatment at Azure Aesthetics Med Spa. Here’s a quick overview:
- Benefits: Strengthens and shapes muscles in difficult-to-tone areas
- Target Areas: Abdomen, arms, buttocks, hips, legs
- Safety: FDA-approved alternative to Cooltone, Emsculpt and liposuction
- Convenience: Quick, 30-minute treatment with no downtime
What Is Evolve Tone, and How Does It Work?
Evolve Tone is one of the three treatments on the Evolve Body Contouring system – the first and only FDA-cleared all-in-one system to reduce fat and cellulite.
Evolve Tone is a non-surgical solution designed specifically to increase muscle strength, which enhances the shape and tone of your body. It works by emitting electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to stimulate involuntary muscle contractions.
Targets Multiple Muscle Groups
The Evolve Tone technology features four hands-free applicators that can target multiple areas simultaneously – for example, two on the abs and two on the arms. By tailoring your treatment and targeting specific muscle groups this way, Evolve Tone gives you ultimate precision and control over the sculpting of your problem zones.
Not only is Evolve Tone non-surgical, but it’s also quick, comfortable, and requires zero downtime.
Because it stimulates involuntary muscle contractions, Evolve Tone EMS can achieve cosmetic muscle toning, helping to strengthen muscles and improve blood circulation at the same time.
Evolve Tone treatments can be customized to address specific problem areas, including:
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Legs
- Buttocks
- Hips

*First and only in Topeka to offer Sciton halo hybrid fractional laser and BBL treatments Halo precisely targets years of skin damage and the visible signs of aging. You will see improvements in overall tone and texture in addition to significant removal of discoloration, reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and reduced pore size. Restores the glow that sun, time and stress have depleted from your skin. GET THAT HALO GLOW. IPL/BBL Beautiful skin in a flash! Worried your age spots or rosacea make you look less radiant? With BBL they will be a thing of the past! Broadband Light is the world’s most powerful IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) device on the market. It sets a new standard in treating skin conditions
Sciton BBL skin rejuvenation uses customizable flash lamp technology and a broad range of wavelengths to allow for targeted treatment of a variety of skin concerns. BroadBand Light (BBL) Therapy is an effective nonsurgical photofacial treatment that addresses a multitude of changes in the skin due to aging, sun damage and other environmental factors.
BBL uses the power of intense pulsed light (IPL) to provide optimal results in skin rejuvenation. If you have sun damage, visible face veins and/or uneven pigmentation, Sciton BBL skin rejuvenation may be right for you.
Who Is a Good Candidate for BBL Skin Rejuvenation?
Men and women of almost any age can be excellent candidates for BBL skin rejuvenation. Some of the most common reasons to consider BBL skin rejuvenation include:
- Acne scarring
- Sun damage
- Pigmented Lesions, such as freckles and age spots
- Vascular lesions
Your BBL Skin Rejuvenation Treatment Options
Our highly-trained, certified providers will use the handheld device to glide across your skin. Unlike other intense pulsed light (IPL) therapies, Sciton’s BBL skin rejuvenation can provide faster treatment since its capable of treating a larger area size with higher pulse repetitions. Our patients are provided protective eyewear during the course of treatment.
Depending on your skin concerns, your provider can adjust the wavelength settings and use different adapters to treat different areas as well as a varying degree of needs including sun spots, redness, vascular lesions and blemishes.
During treatment, the BBL thermal energy heats the skin’s outer layers. This photothermal energy is then absorbed into the skin, causing the hyperpigmented lesions and redness to gradually fade away while boosting collagen production. BBL’s added cooling technology helps to minimize any discomfort during treatment.
The Sciton BBL offers a variety of treatment options including:
Sciton BBL Corrective Photofacial
Sciton BBL Corrective Photofacial treatment corrects skin conditions related to aging and sun damage, including hyperpigmentation, brown spots, redness and blood vessels.
Sciton Forever Young BBL
Sciton’s Forever Young BBL treatment promotes and maintains healthy, youthful-looking skin. This 15-minute treatment can help slow the skin’s aging process on the face, neck and hands by disrupting the gene expression patters of aging skin.
Sciton Forever Clear BBL
Acne is a common skin concern that causes many people to feel self-conscious. Sciton’s Forever Clear BBL offers a 2-step treatment process that can reduce acne-causing bacteria and inflammation, and encourage the skin’s natural healing process.
Depending on your specific goals, we may recommend combining your BBL treatment with other surgical procedures or nonsurgical treatments to maximize your results and help get you closer to the look you want.
BBL Skin Rejuvenation Downtime
Because of BBL’s noninvasiveness, there is little to no downtime involved. Most patients can return to daily activities shortly after treatment. Minimal redness and puffiness may occur immediately following treatment into a few days after, but these after-effects can be easily masked with makeup if necessary.
Although individual results vary, most patients experience continued improvement in skin tone over the course of the next several days and weeks. Depending on your specific needs we may recommend a series of 2-5 treatments every 3-4 weeks for optimal results.
Whether alone or along with other cosmetic procedures, these injections to soften facial wrinkles are the most commonly performed cosmetic procedure. The quick, easy, and affordable treatment used by millions every year and one of our most popular treatments performed at our facility.
There’s a reason why Botox and other botulinum injections (Dysport, Xeomin) are the most commonly performed cosmetic procedure. It works. Over 6,000,000 injections were performed last year, an increase of over 700% from the year 2000. It is a quick way to decrease the wrinkles and furrows in the face caused by the contraction or the underlying muscles. While we most commonly use Botox for injection, we also utilize Xeomin and Dysport when we feel these are more appropriate for the patient. These products are similar to Botox in their mechanism of action and how we utilize them.
How it works
Many wrinkles and furrows in the skin are caused by the contraction of the underlying muscles. As we age these lines occur in fairly predictable locations such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, around the eyes, and around the mouth. Injection of Botox temporarily weakens and paralyzes the muscles in the areas we treat, usually for 3-6 months. Although the wrinkles themselves are not injected, the wrinkles tend to soften and disappear once the muscles are treated. This muscle relaxation also slows the formation of wrinkles in the future.
How we do it
The actual injections of Botox only take a few minutes in our office. However, it is import to first carefully evaluate your wrinkles and furrows to determine where we will inject the medication and how much we will use. All patients are slightly different in the relative strength of their facial muscles and how they use them, which we will take into account when we treat you. Appreciating these subtle differences is what sets us apart from inexperienced injectors. Once we have determined our injection pattern, we first chill the area with a cool pack to minimize pain. The injections take just a few minutes and cause minimal discomfort. You may have some slight swelling and redness of the injection site for a few hours. Bruising may occur but is unusual. You may resume everyday activities right away, but we suggest you to refrain from strenuous activities such as vigorous exercise for the rest of the day. The medication generally takes effect in 3-5 days. If you are having injections for the first time we encourage you to return in a week or two to see if we have achieved the desired effects. This will help us adjust and fine tune your future treatments. We want you to have a natural appearance, and will avoid overtreatment that may give you a flat appearance to your expressions.
Areas we typically treat:
Frown lines in the glabella (the area at the top of the nose between the eyebrows) Around the eyes (“crow’s feet”) Perioral (around the mouth) Forehead
Use with other treatments
Botox may be used alone or in combination with other treatments to enhance your overall appearance. For example, we have found that deep furrows in the forehead and glabella region may respond best to treatment with a combination of Botox injections followed about 1 week later with a dermal filler. This temporary muscle paralysis enhances the result of the filler and achieve a longer lasting result.
How we charge
Like most practices, we charge by the amount of medication we use. Some patients will require more product to achieve the same effect than others. We try to use the minimal amount necessary to achieve a good, long lasting effect.
Why we like this procedure
Botox and other botulinum injections are an easy and effective way to quickly improve your appearance. They are also an excellent addition to other treatments, both surgical and non-surgical, that we offer. With over 6 million injections a year being performed, these products have an extensive track record supporting their safety and effectiveness.
Another injectable and very popular treatment for the aging face, fillers are a quick way to reduce obvious signs of aging around the mouth, eyes, and other areas of the face.
Dermal and soft tissue fillers are second only to Botox injections in popularity, with over 2 million injections being performed in the US last year. This popularity is even more remarkable given that few of these products were even being used in this country 10 years ago. Fillers have given us a way to restore the volume losses associated with aging, particularly around the mouth, eyes, and lips. The relative ease of use, safety, and low costs of these treatments has accounted for their enormous popularity. View Procedures and Treatments in 3D
What we use
We utilize primarily hyaluronic acid based products (Juvederm, Restylane, Voluma, Belotero) in our practice, the most widely used injectables in the US. We have been impressed by the ease of use, effectiveness, and lack of complications we have seen we these products. We continually evaluate new products as they come on the market, and our exploring new ways to use them. However, we sometimes warn patients about being too anxious about seeking “the newest treatment they saw on TV” as we have seen some of these injectables greeted with great fanfare (and marketing budgets!) only to disappear from the market after a few years because of problems or lack of effectiveness. We want to make sure any treatment we use on our patients is proven to be both safe and effective.
How we do it
Patients interested in dermal fillers are first seen for a consultation where we will evaluate your face, discuss the areas to be treated and the amount of improvement you can expect. If you are interested in undergoing injections, we will schedule these to be done in our office at a convenient time. The areas to be treated will be first anesthetized with a topical anesthetic or nerve block injections. We then chill the area with a cool pack to decrease the possibility of bruising. The product is then injected through a very fine needle into the areas where increased fullness is desired. Afterwards, we will have you continue to apply a cool pack to decrease swelling. The entire procedure takes 30-45 minutes. Following the procedure the injected area will typically show some swelling for the first day or two. Bruising may be present as well, particularly if we inject in areas where the skin is thin, such as under the eyes. However, this can typically be covered with makeup. You may resume everyday activities right away, but we suggest you to refrain from strenuous activities such as vigorous exercise for the rest of the day. If you are having injections for the first time we will generally have you return in a week or two to see if we have achieved the desired effects. This will help us adjust and fine tune your future treatments. Our goal is to give you a natural appearance, not an overdone look. If we feel that additional volume is needed to achieve your desired result, we can schedule you for additional injections. Areas we typically treat
- Nasolabial folds (“parentheses” around the mouth)
- Labiomental folds (“marionette” or “puppet” lines around the mouth)
- Lips
- Cheeks
- Forehead creases
- Periorbital region (hollows under the eyes)
- Malar region (cheekbones)
- Depressed scars
Use with other treatments
Fillers may be used alone or in combination with other treatments to enhance your overall appearance. For example, we have found that deep furrows in the forehead and glabella region may respond best to treatment with a combination of Botox injections followed about 1 week later with a dermal filler. This temporary muscle paralysis enhances the result of the filler and gives us a longer lasting result. Fillers may also be used during other surgical procedures, such as in conjunction with a facelift, to enhance the result.
How we charge
Like most practices, we charge by the syringe, and find we can generally achieve the desired result with one or two syringes. Some patients will require more product to achieve the same effect than others. We try to use the minimal amount necessary to achieve the correction you need. If more is needed, it can be added at any time.
Duration of effect
The body gradually breaks down Hyaluronic acid based fillers over time. In most patients, we are seeing a duration time of about 9-12 months before additional injections are required. However, we have seen patients who are 18 months or more out from their injections that have maintained a considerable amount of fullness. For patients desiring an even longer lasting correction, we can talk to you about fat grafting, as this is one our favorite long lasting fillers.
Fast fact
Hyaluronic acid based fillers are injected more than twice as often as all other injectable types combined.
Why we like this procedure
Dermal and soft tissue filler injections are an easy and effective way to quickly improve your appearance. They are also an excellent addition to other treatments, both surgical and non-surgical, that we offer. These products have an extensive track record supporting their safety and effectiveness that explains why this is a frequently performed procedure in our office and worldwide.
Microblading and microshading are a semi-permanent tattooing technique used for the eyebrows and performed with a hand-held tool. This technique is not only far less painful than traditional tattooing, but causes less damage to the skin. Which results in a quicker recovery process. Microblading and microshading can last anywhere between 18 and 30 months. Touch-ups may be necessary every 6 months to a year.
Perfect for someone with little to no eyebrows and for filling in areas of the brow where hair
has stopped growing, creating the illusion of a more defined and fuller brow. This procedure is
done using a hand-held tool, tiny hair-like strokes that look like natural eyebrow hairs. Pigment
is deposited in each stroke, into the epidermal layer of the skin.
Perfect in combination with Microblading or as a procedure on its own, known as the “Powder Brow”. Microshading is done using a hand-held tool to place tiny, pin-like dots throughout the brow area to create a powdered, “makeup-like” effect. Creating the illusion of a full, defined brow.
Superior, Comfortable Laser Hair Removal
Compared to traditional methods of hair removal such as shaving, tweezing and waxing, laser hair removal is a proven method for permanent hair reduction for all skin types. At Azure Aesthetics our Cutera excel HR combines the gold standard laser wavelengths for permanent hair reduction.
Our microdermabrasion treatments combine serious skin care with serious pampering that will leave you looking better and feeling refreshed. Try a single treatment or a series of treatments for even better results.
Microdermabrasion is one of our most popular skin treatments. This quick procedure quickly removes the superficial layers of dead skin and stimulates the growth of new skin and collagen. The treatment will leave you looking great and feeling refreshed.This non-invasive (crystal-free) skin polishing treatment gently exfoliates the “micro layers” of dead skin, revealing younger, healthier looking skin. The procedure also includes a customized mask and a cold piece plus ultrasonic treatment. This treatment results in virtually no downtime and patients can return to normal activities right away. As with many other “no down time” skin rejuvenation techniques, a series of treatments may be required to achieve the desired effect.
Best Candidates
Although almost anyone will see some improvement after microdermabrasion, the best results are seen in those with mild to moderate skin changes that are the result of sun exposure and age. Those with severe sun damage and wrinkling generally don’t see a significant improvement in these problems although any product that is used works better because it is not sitting on a layer of “dead skin.”
How it works
While some systems utilize a pressurized stream of ultrafine sand or salt crystals to abrade the skin, we prefer crystal free microdermabrasion. A probe tipped with abrasive diamonds is passed over the skin, removing the top layers of dead skin, which are captured using suction. We improve our microdermabrasion treatments by applying a mask tailored to your skin type and administering a cold piece and ultrasonic therapy to maximize the effect and leave you feeling refreshed and pampered. The treatment typically takes about an hour and you may return to regular activities right away. While you will likely see some improvement after a single treatment, we may recommend a series of treatments scheduled a few weeks apart for maximum benefit. In addition to being a great stand-alone treatment it also is an excellent addition to other procedures, both surgical and non-surgical, that will improve your overall appearance and result.
Micro Peel
Micro Peel intensifies a microdermabrasion treatment by adding a chemical peel. This is a great way to boost your microdermabrasion and is also more cost efficient than having the treatments individually.
Fast Fact
Over 800,000 microdermabrasion procedures were performed in the US last year.
Why we like this procedure
It’s quick, it feels good, and it works!
Microneedling with the SkinPen is a minimal downtime procedure that has helped us bridge the gap between the more superficial treatment of microdermabrasion and the more aggressive treatment of laser resurfacing skin treatments.
This minimal downtime procedure has helped us bridge the gap between the more superficial treatment of microdermabrasion and the more aggressive treatment of laser resurfacing skin treatments. Although this skin treatment has been around for years with so-so results, the new technology which refines and mechanizes this technique with high speed ultrafine micro needles is giving us better results at a lower cost than anything we’ve seen. We now have a treatment that we can use year round with lower cost and less downtime than laser treatments and we’re finding it’s great for skin rejuvenation and even acne scarring.
Best Candidates
Although almost anyone will see some improvement after microneedling, the best results are seen in those with mild to moderate skin changes that are the result of sun exposure and age. We have also had success in treating some forms of acne scarring with better results than we were previously able to achieve with laser treatment, chemical peels, and other treatment modalities. Unlike some other treatments, microneedling can be used on all skin types regardless of the degree of pigmentation.
How it works
After applying a topical anesthetic the face the face is treated with a handheld microneedling device. We utilize the SkinPen system, which has an array of ultrafine needles at the tip which penetrate the skin thousands of times a minute. It sounds scary, but these ultrafine needles penetrate only a short distance into the skin and most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. Following the treatment, which takes approximately 30 minutes for the entire face, we apply topical agents which soothe the skin and aid in recovery and renewal. In the days that follow the collagen in the deeper layers of the skin is stimulated by the micropores which have been created to promote new growth. The result is healthier looking skin with minimal downtime.
Quick recovery, minimal downtime
Following your treatment your face will look red, much like a sunburn. Most patients can apply makeup the following day and return to normal activities, although some redness may remain for a few days. Pain is typically minimal.
Other areas
While we initially utilized this on the face, we are seeing good results on the neck, chest, and elsewhere.
This deeply exfoliating treatment effectively removes the dry, dead skin cells to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.
We perform a variety of specialized chemical peels designed especially for your problem skin. Whether alone or combined with our other skin treatments, we can use the latest in peel techniques and formulas to help rejuvenate and revitalize your skin.
Skin peels are a popular way to treat your skin and rejuvenate your appearance. Our estheticians are skilled in a number of different types of peels, as this definitely is not a “one size fits all” technique. Different formulas and application times will be tailored specifically for your type of skin and problem areas. The treatment will leave you looking great and feeling refreshed. As with many other “no down time” skin rejuvenation techniques, a series of treatments may be required to achieve the desired effect.
How it works
Once we have assessed your problem areas, a treatment program will be developed. The peels are performed in our office by our skilled and experienced estheticians in our treatment rooms. While you relax in this spa-like environment, your specifically selected peel formula will be used to rejuvenate your skin. In most cases, you can return to normal activities right away although your skin may be somewhat red, especially if the peel is relatively deep. In addition to the use of sunscreen and avoidance of strong sun exposure, we will give you additional instructions on how to care for your skin after treatment to maximizes your results. While you will likely see some improvement after a single treatment, we may recommend a series of treatments scheduled a few weeks apart for maximum benefit. In addition to being a great stand-alone treatment it also is an excellent addition to other procedures, both surgical and non-surgical, that will improve your overall appearance and result.
