At Wilmington Dermatology Center, we’re always looking for ways to bring truly innovative, patient-friendly treatments to our community. That’s why we are excited to introduce Everesse body treatments, expanding on the excellent facial results we’ve already been achieving. Below is an in-depth look at what Everesse is, how it works, what to expect, and why this may be a great option for you. 

What Is Everesse — and What Technology Does It Use? 

Everesse uses advanced monopolar radiofrequency (RF) technology to stimulate collagen and elastin deep in the skin. With real-time contact detection, consistent energy delivery, and built-in cooling, it delivers effective, comfortable, and safe skin tightening — no needles or downtime required. 

Everesse is a next-generation, noninvasive skin tightening and volumizing system that uses monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen and elastin in the deeper skin layers while preserving the surface skin.  

Altogether, the design is meant to maximize safety, precision, comfort, and consistency in treatment. 

Everesse on the Face: What We’ve Done and What Results Are Seen 

Until recently, Everesse has been primarily used (and FDA-cleared) for facial and neck skin tightening.  

Typical facial/neck use and results: 

• Areas treated: lower face (jowls, jawline), cheeks, perioral, periorbital regions, neck. 

• Immediate effect: Many patients notice an immediate firming or “lifted” feel right after treatment, likely due to collagen contraction and tissue tightening.  

• Progressive improvement: Over the next few weeks to months, as collagen remodeling continues, further tightening, improved elasticity, smoother texture, and subtle volumizing or contour improvement can emerge.  

• Comfort & downtime: The experience is generally well tolerated — many describe it as warm, similar to a “hot stone massage” — and there is little to no downtime.  

• Treatment protocol: Many providers recommend 1–2 sessions spaced several weeks apart for an optimal “base” result, with occasional maintenance sessions later.  

• Duration of results: Clinical experience suggests that results may last for many months to over a year, depending on individual factors (age, skin health, lifestyle).  

Because Wilmington Dermatology Center was one of the early adopters, we have already seen encouraging facial outcomes—improved contour, firmer skin, and high patient satisfaction. 

Introducing Everesse for the Body: 

While Everesse has become a favorite for facial tightening, the breakthrough that now makes body treatments possible is the introduction of a new “S Tip” designed specifically for body areas.  

This body-tip S Tip expands the surface area, maintains the safety and comfort features of the facial versions, and allows us to treat larger zones more efficiently. With this advance, Everesse is now capable of addressing laxity and firmness issues not only in the face and neck, but across the body.  

What Body Areas and Skin Conditions Can Be Treated? 

With the body-capable tip, Everesse can now address laxity and firmness issues on multiple body zones. The likely treated areas and indications include: 

• Abdomen / stomach — loose skin after weight changes, postpartum laxity 

• Upper arms — “bat wing” sagging 

• Thighs (front, inner, outer) 

• Above the knees (mild skin sagging) 

• Buttocks and flanks / love handles 

• Skin conditions / concerns that benefit: 

• Mild to moderate skin laxity 

• Loss of firmness or elasticity 

• Early crepey skin texture 

• Loose skin following weight loss (if not too excessive) 

• Areas that show collagen breakdown or reduced tone 

That said, it’s important to note that Everesse is not a fat-reduction device (i.e. it is not a lipolysis or fat-melting machine). Its strength lies in skin tightening and collagen remodeling, not substantive fat removal. 

What Patients Should Expect During the Treatment 

Here’s a step-by-step of what a patient can typically expect when undergoing an Everesse body treatment: 

• Treatments take 30–60 minutes, depending on area 

• Feels like a warm, soothing massage 

• No needles, no numbing, no downtime 

• Many patients report a subtle “lifted” or firmer feel immediately after treatment, due to collagen contraction. Results improve over 4–12 weeks as collagen rebuilds 

• Most of the visible improvements evolve gradually over the following 4 to 12 weeks as collagen and elastin remodeling proceeds. 

• Immediately after, you may notice mild warmth, slight redness, or minimal edema in the treated zones. These effects typically fade quickly. Because the procedure is noninvasive, there is no downtime. You may return to most of your normal activities shortly afterward.  

• Aftercare Avoiding excessive heat or sun exposure to treated areas for a short period, and following any skin care or protective recommendations from our team will help optimize your recovery and results. 

• The longevity of results varies by individual factors such as age, genetics, skin health, sun exposure, and lifestyle. Many patients enjoy sustained improvement for 6–12 months or more.
