Evoke: Non-Invasive Facial Remodeling in Roseville, CA
Evoke is a groundbreaking hands-free facial contouring treatment that delivers natural-looking outcomes without incisions, needles, or downtime. At Granite Bay Dermatology and Laser Center, Dr. Scott B. Hearth offers this innovative technology to help his patients in Roseville, Sacramento, and surrounding areas achieve a more youthful, contoured facial appearance.
This innovative, non-invasive facial contouring system employs advanced radiofrequency (RF) technology to remodel skin and underlying tissue. It is FDA-cleared to address facial aging in the cheeks, chin, jawline, and neck with no discomfort or recovery. The hands-free applicators deliver controlled thermal energy deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen production and that prompts skin tightening for a lifted, rejuvenated appearance.
How Does Evoke Work?
Evoke harnesses bipolar RF energy to heat the deeper layers of facial tissue. This controlled heating triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin regeneration. The thermal energy also causes existing collagen fibers to contract for an immediate tightening effect.
The treatment features customizable applicators designed specifically for different facial areas. The hands-free design ensures consistent energy delivery across the treatment zone, while real-time temperature monitoring adjusts power levels automatically to maintain optimal therapeutic temperatures. This precise control allows Dr. Hearth and his team to deliver effective treatments safely and comfortably.
What Areas Can Evoke Treat?
Evoke offers targeted solutions for multiple facial concerns:
- Cheeks: Restore volume and lift sagging cheek tissue for more defined contours
- Jawline: Sharpen and define the jawline for a more sculpted profile
- Jowls: Reduce the appearance of jowls and improve lower face definition
- Submental area: Minimize double chin and tighten skin under the chin
- Neck: Smooth and tighten loose neck skin for a more youthful appearance
Evoke is an excellent option for men and women seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation without targeting isolated areas. Many patients at Granite Bay Dermatology and Laser Center choose to combine treatment zones for optimal facial harmony.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Evoke?
Evoke is ideal for individuals who are not ready for surgical intervention. Good candidates typically exhibit:
- Mild to moderate skin laxity in the face and neck
- Loss of facial definition or contour
- Early jowl formation
- Submental fullness or double chin
- Desire for natural-looking results without surgery
- Realistic expectations about gradual improvement
- Overall good health
Because Evoke is non-invasive and works on all skin types, it offers an excellent solution for patients who may not be candidates for other treatments.
What Should I Expect During an Evoke Treatment?
Evoke treatments are performed in the comfort of Granite Bay Dermatology and Laser Center’s state-of-the-art facility. The completely hands-free procedure allows you to relax while the device does the work.
We will secure the appropriate applicator to the treatment area using adjustable straps for a customized fit. As the treatment begins, you’ll feel a warming sensation as the RF energy penetrates your skin. Most patients find this warmth comfortable and even relaxing, comparing it to a hot stone massage.
The built-in temperature sensors continuously monitor your skin’s temperature, automatically adjusting energy delivery to maintain optimal therapeutic levels. You can use this time to read, listen to music, or simply relax. Each session typically lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the treatment areas.
No anesthesia is required, and you can return to your normal activities right after treatment. Many schedule their Evoke appointments during lunch breaks or between errands, making it a convenient option for busy lifestyles.
How Many Evoke Treatments Will I Need?
While treatment protocols are customized for each patient, most people achieve optimal results with a series of treatments. Dr. Hearth typically recommends:
- 3 to 6 treatment sessions for best results
- Sessions scheduled weekly or bi-weekly
- Maintenance treatments as needed to sustain results
The exact number of treatments depends on your individual concerns, desired outcome, and how your body responds to the RF energy. Some patients notice improvements after just one session, though the full effect develops gradually as new collagen forms over the following weeks and months.
When Will I See Results from Evoke?
One advantage of Evoke is immediate skin tightening after the first session. However, the most dramatic improvements develop gradually over time as your body produces new collagen and elastin.
You can expect to see:
- Immediate, subtle tightening after the first session
- Progressive improvement over 4 to 6 weeks following each treatment
- Optimal results appearing 3 months after completing the treatment series
- Continued enhancement for up to 6 months as collagen remodeling continues
Results vary based on age, skin condition, and lifestyle factors. During follow-up appointments, Dr. Hearth will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

Combining his medical knowledge, injection skills and artistic taste for beauty, Dr. Hearth’s priority is to understand his patients’ needs and goals and help them achieve the best results.
How Long Do Evoke Results Last?
The longevity of your Evoke results depends on several factors, including your age, skin quality, lifestyle habits, and how well you maintain your skin. Most patients enjoy their improved facial contours for 12 to 24 months or longer.
Since Evoke stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, the new collagen fibers that develop during treatment continue to provide structural support even after your treatment series is complete. However, the natural aging process continues, and environmental factors, like sun exposure, can affect how long results last.
Many choose to schedule periodic maintenance treatments to sustain their results. Dr. Hearth may also recommend combining Evoke with other treatments offered at Granite Bay Dermatology and Laser Center, such as Botox, dermal fillers, or skin rejuvenation procedures for comprehensive anti-aging benefits.
How Does Evoke Compare to Other Facial Contouring Treatments?
Granite Bay Dermatology and Laser Center offers several facial contouring options, and Dr. Hearth can help you determine which is best for your needs:
- Evoke vs. FaceTite: While both use RF technology, FaceTite is minimally invasive and requires local anesthesia. Evoke is completely non-invasive with no needles or incisions. FaceTite may provide more dramatic results for advanced skin laxity, while Evoke is ideal for mild to moderate concerns.
- Evoke vs. Ultherapy: Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy rather than RF technology and may cause more discomfort during treatment. Evoke’s hands-free design and real-time temperature monitoring ensure a comfortable experience throughout.
- Evoke vs. Kybella: Kybella is an injectable treatment specifically for submental fat (double chin) and requires multiple injection sessions. Evoke addresses multiple areas simultaneously and works through skin tightening rather than fat reduction.
- Evoke vs. Morpheus8: Morpheus8 combines RF with microneedling for deeper penetration but involves tiny needles that create micro-injuries. Evoke delivers RF energy non-invasively without breaking the skin’s surface.
Can Evoke Be Combined with Other Treatments?
Dr. Hearth often recommends complementary treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation, including:
- Botox to smooth dynamic wrinkles and fine lines
- Dermal fillers to restore volume in areas like cheeks, lips, and temples
- Laser treatments to address skin texture, tone, and pigmentation concerns
- AccuTite for precise treatment of delicate areas like under the eyes
This approach allows Dr. Hearth to address all aspects of facial aging for natural, harmonious results. During your consultation, he will assess your concerns and recommend the optimal treatment plan for your individual needs.

FAQs
Roseville Evoke
Evoke is not painful. Most patients describe the treatment as comfortable and relaxing, with a warming sensation similar to a hot stone massage. The hands-free applicators are designed for optimal comfort, and the real-time temperature monitoring ensures the treatment stays within a therapeutic range that feels warm but never uncomfortable.
You can apply makeup immediately after your Evoke treatment if desired. Since there are no incisions, injections, or skin surface damage, there’s no need to wait before resuming your normal skincare and makeup routine.
Evoke effectively treats the submental area to reduce the appearance of a double chin. The RF energy tightens loose skin under the chin and improves overall definition in the jawline and neck. For patients with significant submental fat, Dr. Hearth may recommend combining Evoke with Kybella injections for optimal results.
Evoke is an excellent option for men seeking facial contouring without surgery or downtime. The treatment effectively addresses concerns common in male patients, including loss of jawline definition, jowl formation, and neck laxity, while maintaining masculine facial characteristics.
Evoke is safe and effective for all skin types and tones. Unlike some laser treatments that target pigment in the skin, Evoke uses RF energy that heats deeper tissue layers regardless of skin color. This makes it an ideal option for patients with darker skin tones who may not be candidates for other treatments.
Evoke is a non-invasive treatment that provides subtle lifting and tightening through collagen stimulation, while a surgical facelift removes excess skin and repositions underlying tissues for more dramatic results.

However, patients with advanced skin laxity may achieve better results with surgical options.
Yes, you can receive Evoke treatments if you’ve previously had dermal fillers. In fact, combining dermal fillers with Evoke is a popular approach for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
