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.

Knowing what will happen during your ApexRF treatment helps ease anxiety and allows you to focus on the benefits you’ll gain from each session. At Dr. Maya Kato’s practice, we are proud to offer InMode APEX RF as part of our treatments.
The Consultation
Before your first treatment, you’ll meet with a provider for a detailed consultation. This is where your medical history, symptoms, and goals are discussed. Your provider will explain how ApexRF works, what to expect during and after your sessions, and create a personalized plan.
Preparing for Your Session
No special preparation is needed. Some patients choose to wear loose-fitting clothing for comfort, but this isn’t required. The treatment is quick and completely non-invasive.
The Treatment Process
-
Positioning: You’ll be comfortably seated or lying down.
-
Application: The provider uses a specialized RF handpiece on the targeted area.
-
Sensation: You’ll feel a gentle, soothing warmth—no pain.
-
Duration: About 15 minutes from start to finish.
After Your Session
There’s no downtime at all. You can resume work, exercise, and daily life right away. Some patients report a temporary sensation of warmth or heightened sensitivity, but these effects fade quickly.
Building Your Results
While some men notice improvements after the first session, most require several treatments for full benefits. Your provider may recommend 4–6 weekly treatments followed by maintenance every few months to sustain results.

InMode Tone is an advanced body contouring treatment that helps tone, strengthen, and define muscles without the need for additional workouts. It’s perfect for people who want visible results but may struggle with stubborn areas resistant to diet and exercise. At Dr. Maya Kato’s practice, we are proud to offer InMode Tone as part of our treatments.
The Science Behind InMode Tone
Tone uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to trigger powerful muscle contractions. These contractions are more intense and frequent than voluntary exercise can achieve. This leads to:
-
Increased muscle strength
-
Enhanced definition
-
Improved muscle endurance
Treatment Areas
-
Abdomen: For a flatter, more defined midsection
-
Arms: Tones biceps and triceps
-
Thighs: Strengthens quads and hamstrings
-
Buttocks: Firms and lifts glutes
Benefits of Tone
-
Non-invasive: No surgery, no recovery
-
Time-saving: Sessions last about 30 minutes
-
Customizable: Treatments are tailored to your goals
-
Complementary: Works well with fat-reduction treatments
The Treatment Process
During treatment, applicators are placed on the target area. You’ll feel your muscles contracting deeply, similar to an intense workout, but without the strain. After the session, you can return to your normal routine immediately.
Ideal Candidates
Tone is perfect for:
-
Active individuals looking for enhanced muscle tone
-
Those recovering from injury who want to rebuild strength (with clearance)
-
Anyone looking for non-surgical body contouring
Results and Maintenance
Most patients see results after a few sessions, with optimal results after 4–6 treatments. Maintenance every few months helps keep your results.

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
-
Short-term: Many men notice improved performance within a few weeks
-
Long-term: Maximum benefits appear after a full treatment series and can last for months
-
Maintenance: Touch-up treatments every few months help sustain results
Ideal Candidates
You may be an excellent candidate if you:
-
Have mild to moderate ED
-
Want to avoid medications or invasive surgery
-
Are in good general health
-
Want a discreet, in-office procedure with no downtime
FAQs
Does it hurt? No. Most patients find it comfortable.
Can I have Apex RF if I’m on medication? In many cases, yes—your provider will review your health history.

Laser skin resurfacing is a proven way to dramatically improve texture, tone, and signs of aging. Whether you’re targeting wrinkles, scars, or sun damage, understanding what to expect before, during, and after the procedure can help you prepare for optimal results. At Dr. Maya Kato’s practice, we are proud to offer laser resurfacing as part of our advanced aesthetic treatments.
Before Treatment
– Consultation: Your provider will assess your skin, goals, and medical history to choose the right laser (CO2, Erbium, or fractional).
– Pre-Treatment Prep: You may be advised to avoid sun exposure, retinoids, and certain medications for 1–2 weeks.
– Plan Downtime: Depending on the depth of treatment, expect 3–10 days of redness and healing.
During Treatment
– Anesthesia: Topical or local anesthesia is applied for comfort.
– Laser Application: The device delivers energy to remove or heat the outer layers of skin.
– Time: Sessions can take 30–90 minutes depending on the area and type of laser.
After Treatment
– Immediate Effects: Redness, swelling, and a sunburn-like feeling
– Healing Time: Varies with treatment depth — light treatments may take 3–5 days, deeper resurfacing up to 10 days
– Aftercare: Includes moisturizing, avoiding sun exposure, and using prescribed ointments
Results
– Improvements are visible once redness subsides
– Continued collagen production means skin keeps improving over 3–6 months
– Results can last for years with good skincare and sun protection
Laser resurfacing offers transformative results for aging or damaged skin. When performed by an experienced provider, it delivers smoother, clearer, and younger-looking skin with minimal risk and long-term rewards.

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.

When it comes to improving skin tone, texture, and clarity, chemical peels and laser treatments are two of the most effective options. But which one is right for you? Understanding their differences can help you make an informed choice based on your goals, skin type, and downtime preferences. At Dr. Maya Kato’s practice, we are proud to offer chemical peels and laser treatments as part of our advanced aesthetic treatments.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel uses a blend of acids (like glycolic, salicylic, or TCA) to exfoliate the skin and promote regeneration. It can be:
– Light: Targets fine lines, dullness, and acne
– Medium: Treats sun damage and pigmentation
– Deep: Targets severe texture issues and wrinkles
Peels are best for patients with fair to medium skin tones.
What Is Laser Resurfacing?
Laser treatments use focused light to either remove (ablative) or stimulate (non-ablative) the skin’s outer layers. Types include:
– CO2 Laser (ablative): Deep resurfacing for wrinkles and scars
– Erbium Laser: More precise with less downtime
– Fractional Lasers: Deliver micro-columns of energy for collagen stimulation
Laser works well for both light and darker skin tones, depending on the technology used.
Which One Should You Choose?
– Choose peels for mild acne, texture, and dullness
– Choose laser for deeper wrinkles, scars, and serious sun damage
– Always consult with a skin expert to assess your tone, sensitivity, and goals
Both peels and lasers can deliver radiant, youthful skin. The best option depends on your concerns, downtime availability, and skin type. A personalized consultation ensures safe and stunning results.
