Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the most common men’s health concerns, affecting millions each year. While medications and other therapies can be effective, many men are searching for alternatives that are non-invasive, natural, and discreet. APEX™ RF, offered by Dr. Maya Kato in Palm Desert, is a breakthrough treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to improve erectile function by addressing the underlying tissue and circulation. At Dr. Maya Kato’s practice, we are proud to offer Apex RF as part of our advanced aesthetic treatments.
What Is APEX™ RF?
APEX™ RF is a non-surgical treatment designed specifically to improve erectile performance. Instead of relying on pills, injections, or implants, it works by delivering controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy to penile tissue. This energy penetrates to deeper layers, stimulating the body’s natural ability to heal, remodel, and improve circulation. The result is stronger, more reliable erections without downtime or invasive procedures.
How APEX™ RF Works
Healthy erections depend on good blood flow and strong, responsive tissue. APEX™ RF targets these areas in three key ways. First, the RF energy gently heats the tissue, stimulating the growth of new blood vessels (a process called neovascularization) that improves microcirculation. Second, it boosts the production of collagen and elastin, strengthening the structure of penile tissue and making it more responsive. Finally, many men report improved sensitivity thanks to enhanced nerve responsiveness. Together, these changes create a healthier environment for erectile function.
Treatment Experience
One of the reasons men choose APEX™ RF is the convenience and comfort of the treatment. Each session takes only about 15 minutes, and there is no need for anesthesia or recovery time. Most men describe the sensation as a warm, tolerable heating effect. After treatment, you can return to work, exercise, or daily activities immediately. To achieve the best results, a series of treatments is usually recommended.
Benefits of APEX™ RF for ED
Patients choose APEX™ RF for its unique advantages, which include:
- Non-invasive, needle-free therapy with no incisions or surgery
- Zero downtime, so you can resume normal life right after treatment
- Natural improvements in circulation and tissue health
- Long-lasting results with the right treatment plan
- A discreet, in-office procedure performed by a trained provider
Because the treatment enhances natural function, it can also be combined with other ED therapies such as medication or lifestyle adjustments for even greater benefits.
Who Is a Candidate?
APEX™ RF is best suited for men with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction who want to avoid or reduce dependence on medications. It is particularly helpful when ED is linked to vascular issues or tissue health rather than complete nerve damage. During a consultation, Dr. Kato will review your health history and goals to determine if APEX™ RF is right for you.
What to Expect from Results
Results vary, but many men notice improvements in erection quality, firmness, and responsiveness after a series of treatments. APEX™ RF is not a cure for all cases of ED, but it provides meaningful, low-risk improvement for many men. When combined with healthy lifestyle choices like regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and cardiovascular wellness, results can be even more impactful and long-lasting.
Erectile dysfunction doesn’t have to mean a lifetime of pills or invasive procedures. With APEX™ RF, men now have access to a safe, non-invasive option that restores function naturally by improving circulation, strengthening tissue, and enhancing sensitivity. For men in Palm Desert and the surrounding Coachella Valley, Dr. Maya Kato is the only provider offering this advanced treatment. If you’re ready to explore a discreet and effective solution for ED, scheduling a consultation is the first step toward renewed confidence and intimacy.

When it comes to body contouring, most people think of fat removal or skin tightening. But what about treatments that focus on the muscles themselves? That’s where TONE comes in. Offered at Dr. Maya Kato’s practice in Palm Desert, TONE is a breakthrough non-invasive treatment that strengthens and sculpts muscles in ways traditional exercise cannot. For patients who want more definition, greater strength, or support after pregnancy or injury, TONE is an exciting addition to the world of body aesthetics. At Dr. Maya Kato’s practice, we are proud to offer InMode Tone as part of our advanced aesthetic treatments.
How TONE Works
TONE is powered by electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) technology. During a session, applicators are placed on targeted areas such as the abdomen, thighs, glutes, or arms. These applicators deliver controlled electrical impulses that force the muscles to contract repeatedly at high intensity. The contractions are much stronger and more frequent than those achieved during voluntary exercise, creating a “super workout” effect in just 30 minutes. Over time, this stimulation strengthens the muscles, improves tone, and enhances definition—all without lifting a single weight.
Unlike surgical body contouring, TONE is completely non-invasive. There are no incisions, anesthesia, or scars. Patients can return to normal activities immediately after treatment, making it an appealing option for busy individuals who don’t have downtime to spare.
Benefits of TONE Body Contouring
Patients choose TONE for a variety of reasons, from aesthetic improvement to functional benefits. Key advantages include:
- Improved muscle tone and definition in the abs, arms, legs, or glutes
- Stronger core support, which can enhance posture and reduce back strain
- Increased athletic performance by targeting muscles that are hard to engage through exercise alone
- Support for postpartum recovery, especially in rebuilding abdominal strength
- Maintenance of muscle mass during times of reduced activity, such as after injury
Because TONE works directly on muscles rather than fat or skin, it offers a unique type of body enhancement that complements other treatments.
Treatment Areas
TONE is versatile and can be applied to multiple areas of the body where muscle strength and shape are a priority. Common treatment zones include:
- Abdomen, for improved core strength and a flatter, firmer appearance
- Glutes, to enhance lift and firmness
- Thighs, for more definition and improved tone
- Arms (biceps and triceps), to address flabbiness and increase shape
- Calves, for better contour and strength
This flexibility allows patients to target their personal areas of concern and build a customized treatment plan.
What to Expect During a Session
Each TONE treatment lasts about 30 minutes. Patients lie down comfortably while applicators are secured to the treatment area. As the session begins, the muscles are stimulated to contract, creating an intense workout sensation. Patients often describe the feeling as unusual but tolerable—similar to a challenging exercise routine, but without sweating or exertion. There may be mild muscle fatigue after the session, but unlike a gym workout, there is no soreness that disrupts daily life.
Because TONE is non-invasive, there is zero downtime. Patients can immediately return to work, errands, or exercise after their appointment.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Results are best achieved with a series of treatments. Most patients undergo 4–6 sessions, spaced one to two times per week. After completing the initial series, maintenance sessions are recommended every few months to preserve results.
Over the course of treatments, patients typically notice:
- Increased muscle firmness
- Enhanced strength and endurance
- Visible improvements in definition
- A more sculpted, toned silhouette
As with any aesthetic treatment, results vary based on baseline fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle habits. Patients who combine TONE with a healthy diet and regular activity tend to experience the most dramatic and lasting outcomes.
Who Is a Candidate for TONE?
TONE is designed for men and women who want to strengthen and tone without surgery. Ideal candidates include:
- Individuals who exercise regularly but struggle to target specific muscles
- Busy professionals seeking results without downtime
- Postpartum patients rebuilding abdominal strength
- Those recovering from injury or surgery who want to maintain muscle activity
- Anyone looking to improve posture, core stability, and body confidence
TONE is not a weight-loss treatment and does not replace exercise. Instead, it is a complement to an active lifestyle, offering muscle stimulation that exceeds what is possible through workouts alone.
Combining TONE with Other Treatments
Because TONE addresses muscles rather than fat or skin, it pairs well with other body contouring procedures. For example:
- BodyTite for fat reduction, combined with TONE for muscle enhancement
- Morpheus8 for skin tightening, paired with TONE to firm and define the underlying structure
- Wellness treatments such as IV therapy or weight management programs to support overall results
At Dr. Kato’s practice, treatment plans can be fully customized, ensuring each patient receives the right blend of therapies for their goals.

While InMode Tone is often promoted for abdominal sculpting, it’s equally effective for the arms and thighs—two areas that can be difficult to tone through exercise alone. At Dr. Maya Kato’s practice, we are proud to offer InMode Tone as part of our advanced aesthetic treatments.
Why Target Arms and Thighs?
These areas often store stubborn fat and lose firmness with age. Even with regular workouts, muscle definition may remain hidden under soft tissue. InMode Tone directly stimulates these muscles for greater firmness and visible contour.
Benefits for Arms
-
Firms and strengthens biceps and triceps
-
Improves arm contour for a more athletic appearance
-
Helps reduce the look of upper arm “softness”
Benefits for Thighs
-
Builds quadriceps and hamstring strength
-
Improves leg tone and muscle balance
-
Enhances performance for sports and daily activities
The Treatment Process
-
Session Length: About 30 minutes
-
Sensation: Strong but comfortable contractions—no pain
-
Downtime: None; you can return to normal activities right away
Combining Tone with Other Treatments
For maximum results, many patients combine Tone with body fat reduction treatments, ensuring both muscle visibility and contour improvement.

For years, prescription medications like Viagra® and Cialis® have been the most common solution for ED, but they’re not without limitations. ApexRF provides a drug-free alternative that addresses ED from a different angle—by improving blood flow and tissue health over the long term. At Dr. Maya Kato’s practice, we are proud to offer InMode APEX RF as part of our treatments.
Comparing How They Work
-
Medications: Temporarily dilate blood vessels for improved blood flow, but the effects wear off within hours.
-
ApexRF: Uses RF energy to stimulate new blood vessel growth, enhance circulation, and improve sensitivity—results that can last for months.
Side Effects and Risks
-
Medications: May cause headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, or digestive issues. They can also interact with certain heart medications.
-
ApexRF: No systemic side effects, no downtime, and no risk of drug interactions.
Convenience Factor
Medications require planning, since they must be taken before intimacy. ApexRF eliminates this timing issue by providing continuous improvement that doesn’t depend on taking a pill.
Who Benefits from ApexRF?
Men who want to reduce reliance on medication—or avoid it altogether—often choose ApexRF for its natural, cumulative results. It’s also a good choice for those who cannot take ED medications due to health reasons.

Loose, sagging skin and stubborn fat on the upper arms can be frustrating, especially when exercise and diet fail to deliver the desired shape. BodyTite offers a minimally invasive way to address these concerns without the long recovery and scarring of traditional arm lift surgery. At Dr. Maya Kato’s practice, we are proud to offer BodyTite as part of our advanced aesthetic treatments.
Why Arms Are Prone to Sagging
The skin on the upper arms is thinner and more prone to losing elasticity as collagen production slows with age. Add in factors like weight fluctuations, genetics, and sun damage, and the result can be a soft, sagging appearance that’s difficult to reverse naturally.
How BodyTite Works
BodyTite uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology, which simultaneously:
-
Melts stubborn fat for easier removal
-
Stimulates collagen production to tighten skin
-
Improves skin texture for a smoother, more youthful contour
The Procedure in Detail
-
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is used for comfort
-
Incisions: Small openings are made to insert a thin probe
-
Treatment: RF energy is applied to melt fat and contract skin
-
Duration: The procedure usually takes about 1–2 hours
Recovery and Downtime
Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for the first week. Compression garments are often recommended to support healing and enhance results. You can expect to return to non-strenuous activities within a few days, with gradual improvement over the following months.
Who Makes a Good Candidate?
BodyTite is ideal for those with mild to moderate sagging and stubborn fat pockets who want a sleeker arm contour without a surgical arm lift.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects millions of men worldwide, and while medications have long been the go-to treatment, not everyone is satisfied with the temporary relief they provide. InMode Apex RF offers a new, non-invasive way to address ED at its source—by improving blood flow, tissue health, and sensitivity naturally. At Dr. Maya Kato’s practice, we are proud to offer InMode APEX RF as part of our treatments.
Understanding ED and Why It Happens
ED occurs when there’s not enough blood flow to the penis to maintain a firm erection. This can be caused by:
-
Poor circulation due to vascular disease
-
Nerve damage from conditions like diabetes
-
Hormonal imbalances, such as low testosterone
-
Side effects of medications
-
Lifestyle factors like smoking or lack of exercise
Traditional treatments manage symptoms, but Apex RF targets the root cause by stimulating vascular and tissue regeneration.
How Apex RF Works
Apex RF uses advanced radiofrequency (RF) technology to deliver gentle heat to the penile tissues. This process:
-
Encourages angiogenesis (the creation of new blood vessels)
-
Increases collagen and elastin for better tissue function
-
Improves sensitivity by enhancing nerve health
-
Supports stronger, more sustainable erections over time
Benefits of Apex RF
-
Non-invasive: No surgery, no needles, no anesthesia
-
Quick sessions: Each treatment takes about 15 minutes
-
No downtime: Resume your regular activities right away
-
Drug-free: Avoid the side effects and timing issues of ED pills
-
Natural improvements: Your body’s own systems are enhanced for long-term benefits
The Treatment Experience
During treatment, a handpiece delivers controlled RF energy to the targeted area. Patients typically describe the sensation as warm and comfortable. There’s no pain, and most men feel relaxed throughout the session.
Results Timeline

Microneedling has gained popularity as a powerful collagen-stimulating treatment, but when combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), its results become even more impressive. Dubbed the “Vampire Facial,” this treatment blends advanced science with natural healing for skin that looks fresher, smoother, and younger. At Dr. Maya Kato’s practice, we are proud to offer microneedling with PRP as part of our advanced aesthetic treatments.
What Is Microneedling with PRP?
Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body’s healing response, boosting collagen and elastin.
When PRP — derived from your own blood — is applied during or after the treatment, it enhances healing and results by:
– Reducing inflammation
– Accelerating tissue regeneration
– Enhancing skin tone and texture
Why Is It Called the Vampire Facial?
The nickname comes from the use of your own blood. During the procedure:
1. A small amount of blood is drawn
2. It’s spun in a centrifuge to isolate PRP
3. The golden PRP is applied to the skin after microneedling
This natural, potent serum helps rejuvenate skin from within.
What It Treats
– Fine lines and wrinkles
– Acne scars and enlarged pores
– Dull, uneven tone
– Mild skin laxity
– Stretch marks
What to Expect
– Procedure takes about an hour
– Mild redness and sensitivity for 1–3 days
– Minimal downtime compared to laser or peels
– Results appear gradually over weeks and improve with multiple sessions
The Vampire Facial is a powerful, natural treatment that taps into your body’s own regenerative potential. It’s ideal for patients seeking subtle, noticeable improvements in skin tone and texture with minimal risk.
