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.

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
-

In the ever-evolving world of cosmetic enhancement, non-surgical options are becoming increasingly popular, offering effective results without the downtime and risks associated with surgery. One such innovation that is reshaping the contours of body aesthetics is BodyTite. This cutting-edge procedure provides a revolutionary solution for those looking to achieve their dream body without the need for invasive surgery. If you’re curious about how BodyTite can help sculpt your figure, this blog post will guide you through everything you need to know. Board certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Maya Kato offers BodyTite to patients in Palm Desert, Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage and surrounding areas.
Understanding BodyTite Technology
BodyTite is a state-of-the-art body contouring technology that uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to deliver impressive results in fat reduction and skin tightening. At the core of BodyTite’s technology is the controlled delivery of radiofrequency energy, which has a dual purpose: it melts away excess fat while simultaneously stimulating collagen production to firm the skin. This dual-action mechanism sets BodyTite apart from traditional liposuction, which primarily focuses on fat removal but often leaves concerns about skin laxity.
The procedure is minimally invasive, requiring only small incisions. Through these tiny openings, a thin cannula equipped with a specialized handpiece is inserted to deliver the radiofrequency energy directly to the target areas. As the radiofrequency energy heats the tissue, it breaks down fat cells, which are then suctioned out through the cannula. Meanwhile, the thermal effect promotes the contraction of existing collagen fibers and stimulates the production of new collagen, leading to firmer, smoother skin over time.
One of the standout features of BodyTite is its precision. The technology allows for targeted treatment, making it an excellent choice for addressing stubborn fat deposits in areas that are difficult to tone through diet and exercise alone. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, thighs, arms, and flanks. The precision of radiofrequency energy ensures that only the desired areas are treated, minimizing the risk of damaging surrounding tissues.
The safety of BodyTite is further enhanced by real-time monitoring of the tissue temperature. This ensures that the heat remains within a safe range, reducing the risk of burns or other complications. The procedure is generally performed under local anesthesia with sedation, making it a comfortable experience for the patient.
Overall, BodyTite’s innovative use of radiofrequency energy provides a highly effective solution for those seeking both fat reduction and skin tightening, all without the need for invasive surgery.
The Benefits of Non-Surgical Body Contouring
BodyTite stands out in the realm of cosmetic procedures by offering a non-surgical approach that minimizes the typical challenges of traditional surgeries. One of its major benefits is the significantly reduced recovery time. Without the need for large incisions or stitches, patients experience less post-procedural discomfort and can resume their daily activities much sooner. This makes it an appealing option for those with busy lifestyles who cannot afford extensive downtime.
Another notable advantage is the ability to achieve natural-looking results. The precision of the radiofrequency energy used in BodyTite allows for targeted treatment, which is especially effective for contouring areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. Commonly treated areas include the abdomen, thighs, arms, and flanks. This precision minimizes the risk of damaging surrounding tissues, resulting in smoother and more aesthetically pleasing outcomes.
Additionally, BodyTite reduces the risk of scarring. Since the procedure involves only small incisions, the likelihood of noticeable scars is greatly diminished compared to traditional surgical methods. This is particularly beneficial for patients concerned about the cosmetic implications of visible scars.
The dual-action mechanism of BodyTite not only targets and melts away stubborn fat but also tightens the skin by stimulating collagen production. This means patients don’t have to worry about sagging skin post-procedure, a common concern with traditional fat removal techniques. The skin-tightening effect contributes to a more toned and youthful appearance.
Furthermore, the safety of BodyTite is enhanced by real-time monitoring of tissue temperature, ensuring that the radiofrequency energy remains within a safe range. This reduces the risk of complications such as burns, making the procedure not only effective but also safe.
For those seeking to refine their body shape without the hassle and risks associated with major surgery, BodyTite presents a compelling alternative. It combines fat reduction and skin tightening in one streamlined process, delivering significant improvements in body contour with minimal disruption to daily life.
What to Expect During a BodyTite Procedure
During a BodyTite procedure, patients are typically given local anesthesia combined with sedation to ensure comfort throughout the treatment. The duration of the procedure can vary, generally taking between one to three hours, depending on the number and size of areas being addressed.
Small incisions are made in the targeted areas, through which the BodyTite handpiece is inserted to deliver radiofrequency energy directly to the underlying tissue. This energy helps to break down fat cells while simultaneously stimulating collagen production for skin tightening. Patients often report feeling a warm sensation as the radiofrequency energy is applied, but this is not typically painful.
Once the treatment is completed, the surgeon may recommend wearing a compression garment to support the newly contoured areas and aid in the recovery process. This garment helps to reduce swelling and ensures that the body adapts smoothly to its new shape.
It’s important to arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure, as the effects of sedation can linger for a few hours. While some swelling and bruising are common, these symptoms usually subside within a few days. Most patients find that they can resume their daily activities within a week, though it’s advised to avoid strenuous exercise for a few weeks to allow the body to heal properly.
Overall, BodyTite offers a minimally invasive option for body contouring, combining fat reduction with skin tightening to deliver natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
Ideal Candidates for BodyTite Treatment
Ideal candidates for BodyTite treatment are individuals who struggle with localized fat deposits and mild to moderate skin laxity that do not respond well to diet and exercise. These are often areas where stubborn fat persists despite a generally healthy lifestyle. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, thighs, arms, and flanks.
Candidates should be at or near their ideal weight, as BodyTite is not designed for significant weight loss but rather for refining body contours and improving skin tightness. Those considering BodyTite should have realistic expectations about the outcomes and understand that the procedure aims to enhance body shape rather than provide a dramatic transformation.
Good candidates are also in overall good health and do not have any medical conditions that could complicate the procedure or recovery process. Non-smokers or individuals willing to quit smoking for a period before and after the treatment are preferred, as smoking can interfere with the body’s healing process and affect results.
Age is not a strict limiting factor, but the quality of the skin can influence outcomes. Younger patients with better skin elasticity may see more pronounced results. However, older patients with good skin tone can also benefit from the dual action of fat reduction and skin tightening that BodyTite offers.
Ideal candidates should also have a positive outlook and a clear understanding of the procedure, including the recovery process and potential risks. A consultation with a qualified practitioner can help determine whether BodyTite is appropriate based on specific goals and anatomical considerations. This evaluation typically includes a thorough review of medical history, a physical examination, and a discussion of desired outcomes.
By choosing BodyTite, patients can address those challenging areas that resist other methods, achieving a more sculpted and youthful appearance through a minimally invasive approach.
Recovery and Results: What You Need to Know
Following a BodyTite procedure, you may experience some swelling and bruising, which are common and usually diminish within a few days. During this initial recovery period, it’s essential to follow your surgeon’s advice, including wearing a compression garment if recommended. This garment helps to reduce swelling and supports the newly contoured areas as they heal.
The recovery timeline varies for each individual, but most patients find they can resume their daily activities within a week. However, it’s important to avoid strenuous activities and exercise for a few weeks to ensure proper healing and optimal results. Your surgeon will provide specific guidelines tailored to your situation to help you navigate the recovery process smoothly.
Results from BodyTite are noticeable shortly after the procedure, but the most significant improvements will develop gradually over several months. This is due to the body’s ongoing production of new collagen, which continues to firm and tighten the skin. Patients often appreciate the progressive nature of the results, as it allows for a more natural enhancement of their body contours.
Long-term maintenance of your BodyTite results involves adhering to a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise. While the procedure effectively reduces stubborn fat deposits and tightens the skin, maintaining your overall health will help preserve and extend the benefits of your treatment.
In summary, BodyTite offers a relatively swift recovery and enduring results for those seeking non-surgical body contouring. By following post-procedure care instructions and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you can enjoy the enhanced, sculpted look that BodyTite provides for years to come.
