The Physician Difference
At New Viva MD, body contouring is part of your overall health picture — not an isolated cosmetic procedure. Dr. Surkunte evaluates whether your body composition goals are best served by contouring alone, by GLP-1 weight loss medication, by hormone optimization, or by a combination approach. This is what separates physician-led aesthetic care from a standard med spa.

Medical Aesthetics FAQs
What is InMode Morpheus8 and what does it treat?
InMode Morpheus8 is an FDA-cleared fractional radiofrequency microneedling treatment that delivers bipolar RF energy up to 8mm deep into the dermis and subdermal tissue. It stimulates collagen production, tightens loose and sagging skin, remodels subdermal fat, improves skin texture, and treats acne scars and stretch marks — on both the face and body. It is the gold standard in non-surgical skin tightening and is available at New Viva MD in Chandler, AZ under direct physician supervision by Dr. Arpita Surkunte, MD. Call (480) 331-4316.
What is the best treatment for loose skin after weight loss?
The most clinically effective non-surgical treatment for loose skin after weight loss is InMode Morpheus8 fractional radiofrequency microneedling. It reaches up to 8mm into the dermis — deeper than any surface RF device — triggering both immediate collagen contraction and progressive collagen synthesis that continues developing for 3 to 6 months. It treats loose skin on the abdomen, arms, thighs, face, neck, and knees. It is particularly effective for patients who have lost significant weight on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Zepbound. Available at New Viva MD in Chandler, AZ. Call (480) 331-4316.
How long does it take to see results from InMode Morpheus8?
Most patients begin to see visible improvement in skin firmness and texture within two to four weeks of their first InMode Morpheus8 treatment. However, the full collagen remodeling response develops progressively over 3 to 6 months after each session — meaning results continue improving long after the treatment is complete. For patients completing a series of two or three sessions, the final results at six months are typically significantly more dramatic than what is visible at one month. Dr. Surkunte at New Viva MD sets realistic expectations and tracks your progress throughout the treatment series.
How many InMode Morpheus8 sessions do I need?
Most patients achieve optimal results with one to three sessions of InMode Morpheus8 spaced four to six weeks apart. The exact number of sessions depends on the treatment area, degree of skin laxity, skin type, age, and your specific goals. Some patients with mild laxity achieve their goals with a single session. Patients with more significant post-weight-loss skin laxity typically benefit from two to three sessions. Dr. Surkunte provides a specific recommendation at your free consultation based on your individual assessment.
Is InMode Morpheus8 painful?
InMode Morpheus8 is performed with topical numbing cream applied 45 to 60 minutes before treatment. Most patients describe the sensation during treatment as a warm pressure or mild prickling. Discomfort is typically well-tolerated. The face and areas with thinner skin may feel more sensitive than thicker body areas. Most patients complete treatment without significant discomfort and rate the experience as manageable. Dr. Surkunte’s team reviews all comfort management protocols with you before your treatment.
What is the downtime for InMode Morpheus8?
InMode Morpheus8 typically requires one to two days of social downtime. Immediately after treatment, most patients experience redness, mild swelling, and tiny microlesions at the needle entry points that resemble small dots. Redness typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Tiny scab points fade within three to five days. Most patients are comfortable returning to work and normal activity within two to three days. Makeup can typically be applied within one to two days post-treatment. Sun protection is important for several weeks after treatment.
Is InMode Morpheus8 safe for all skin types?
Yes. One of InMode Morpheus8’s most significant clinical advantages is its safety profile across all skin types, including Type VI. The insulated microneedle design protects the epidermis while delivering RF energy to deeper tissue layers — dramatically reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that can occur with laser and light-based treatments on darker skin tones. This makes InMode Morpheus8 one of the most inclusive non-surgical skin tightening options available.
What is the difference between InMode Morpheus8 and laser skin tightening?
InMode Morpheus8 uses radiofrequency energy delivered through microneedles to reach deep into the dermis and subdermal tissue — up to 8mm — while the insulated needle protects the surface skin. Laser skin tightening uses light energy that is absorbed by chromophores in the skin, affecting primarily surface and mid-dermal layers. InMode Morpheus8 reaches deeper tissue, carries lower risk of hyperpigmentation on darker skin types, produces less surface damage, and has shorter downtime than most ablative laser treatments. For collagen remodeling at depth — particularly for body skin tightening after weight loss — InMode Morpheus8 is generally the more effective and more inclusive option.
Can InMode Morpheus8 treat loose skin from Ozempic weight loss?
Yes. This is one of the most important and most common applications of InMode Morpheus8 today. Patients losing 15 to 22 percent of their body weight on GLP-1 medications — Ozempic, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Wegovy — frequently develop loose skin on the abdomen, arms, thighs, and face that does not self-correct. InMode Morpheus8 is the physician-recommended non-surgical treatment for this skin laxity. At New Viva MD, Dr. Surkunte manages both the GLP-1 weight loss program and the InMode Morpheus8 skin tightening plan — timing treatments to maximize results as your body transforms.
What is InMode QuantumRF and how does it work?
InMode QuantumRF is an FDA-approved minimally invasive body contouring and fat reduction treatment that delivers fractional radiofrequency energy directly to the subdermal fat layer through a precision single cannula — under local anesthesia only. The RF energy disrupts and remodels fat cells while simultaneously triggering collagen and elastin production in the overlying skin — producing fat reduction and skin tightening in a single treatment. InMode QuantumRF 10 treats the face and neck. InMode QuantumRF 25 treats larger body areas including the abdomen, thighs, arms, and flanks. Available at New Viva MD in Chandler, AZ. Call (480) 331-4316.
Is InMode QuantumRF a true liposuction alternative?
Yes. InMode QuantumRF is the most advanced non-surgical liposuction alternative currently available at New Viva MD. It delivers fat reduction results comparable to traditional liposuction in appropriate candidates — without surgery, without general anesthesia, without incisions, and without weeks of surgical recovery. Unlike traditional liposuction, InMode QuantumRF simultaneously tightens the overlying skin while reducing fat — an outcome liposuction alone cannot achieve. Most patients complete treatment and return home the same day under local anesthesia.
How is InMode QuantumRF different from CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting uses controlled external cooling to freeze and gradually eliminate fat cells over several months — it does not tighten skin and cannot address skin laxity. InMode QuantumRF delivers radiofrequency energy directly to the subdermal fat layer through a cannula, disrupting fat cells from within while simultaneously stimulating collagen production in the skin above. For patients with both fat reduction and skin tightening goals — which is most patients who have completed significant weight loss — InMode QuantumRF is the more comprehensive and more effective option.
How is InMode QuantumRF different from InMode Morpheus8?
InMode Morpheus8 uses microneedles on the skin surface to deliver fractional RF into the dermis and subdermal tissue — primarily for skin tightening, collagen remodeling, and surface texture improvement. InMode QuantumRF delivers RF energy via a cannula directly to the subdermal fat layer under local anesthesia — primarily for fat reduction and deep tissue body contouring. QuantumRF produces more direct fat disruption in targeted areas. Morpheus8 produces superior surface and mid-dermal collagen remodeling. Many patients at New Viva MD benefit from combining both in a coordinated treatment plan designed by Dr. Surkunte.
Does InMode QuantumRF require general anesthesia?
No. InMode QuantumRF is performed under local anesthesia only. No general anesthesia. No hospital. No anesthesiologist. The treatment area is numbed with local anesthetic — similar to a dental procedure — and most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. Most patients drive themselves home after treatment. This is one of the most significant advantages of InMode QuantumRF over traditional liposuction.
How many InMode QuantumRF sessions are needed?
Most patients achieve their body contouring goals in a single session per treatment area. Each area takes approximately 15 minutes to treat, and multiple areas can be addressed in the same session. In some cases — particularly for larger treatment areas or patients seeking additional refinement — a second session may be recommended. Dr. Surkunte reviews your goals and provides a specific treatment plan at your free consultation.
What areas can InMode QuantumRF treat?
InMode QuantumRF 25 treats body areas including the abdomen and flanks, inner and outer thighs, upper arms, back and bra rolls, buttocks, knees, and chest. InMode QuantumRF 10 treats facial areas including the jawline, under-chin and double chin, neck, and midface. Multiple treatment areas can be addressed in a single session at New Viva MD.
What is the recovery like after InMode QuantumRF?
InMode QuantumRF recovery is minimal compared to traditional liposuction. Most patients return home the same day and resume normal daily activities within one to three days. Patients are advised to avoid hot tubs, saunas, and vigorous exercise until cleared by Dr. Surkunte. Some swelling and bruising in the treatment area is normal and resolves within one to two weeks. Full results — including the complete collagen tightening response — develop progressively over 3 to 6 months after treatment.
What happens to your skin after significant weight loss?
When you lose significant weight — whether through GLP-1 medications, bariatric surgery, or lifestyle changes — the fat cells in your body shrink or are depleted. However, the skin that expanded to accommodate that fat does not automatically shrink back. The elastin and collagen fibers in the skin have been stretched over time and lose their ability to fully retract. The result is loose, sagging skin — most commonly on the abdomen, arms, inner thighs, breasts, and face and neck. The degree of skin laxity depends on the amount of weight lost, the speed of weight loss, age, genetics, skin quality, and sun damage history.
Can loose skin tighten on its own after weight loss?
Mild skin laxity — particularly in younger patients who have lost a modest amount of weight — may improve partially over 12 to 24 months as the skin gradually contracts. However, significant skin laxity following major weight loss — particularly in patients over 40 or those who lost weight rapidly on GLP-1 medications — typically does not self-correct to a clinically meaningful degree without intervention. The collagen remodeling required to tighten significantly stretched skin exceeds what the body can achieve on its own. InMode Morpheus8 and InMode QuantumRF at New Viva MD provide the physician-directed thermal stimulus needed to drive that collagen remodeling at scale.
What is the best non-surgical treatment for skin laxity after weight loss?
The most clinically effective non-surgical treatments for skin laxity after weight loss are InMode Morpheus8 fractional radiofrequency microneedling and InMode QuantumRF subdermal radiofrequency fat reduction and skin tightening — both available at New Viva MD in Chandler, AZ. InMode Morpheus8 is ideal for skin tightening and collagen remodeling on the face, neck, and body with minimal downtime. InMode QuantumRF is ideal for patients who also have stubborn residual fat along with skin laxity — producing fat reduction and skin tightening simultaneously in a single procedure. Dr. Surkunte evaluates which treatment or combination is most appropriate at your free consultation.
When should I start skin tightening treatments during a weight loss program?
The optimal timing for skin tightening treatments depends on your weight loss trajectory. Beginning InMode Morpheus8 treatments while still losing weight can be appropriate in some cases — particularly for facial treatments — but for body areas, Dr. Surkunte generally recommends starting skin tightening when your weight has stabilized or is approaching your goal weight. Treating skin that is still changing rapidly produces less optimal results because the tissue continues to shift after treatment. At New Viva MD, Dr. Surkunte builds the skin tightening timeline into your weight loss program from day one so treatments are appropriately sequenced.
What is the GLP-1 loose skin problem and how does New Viva MD address it?
The widespread adoption of GLP-1 medications — Ozempic, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Wegovy — has created a new and significant patient concern: rapid significant weight loss that outpaces the skin’s ability to contract. Patients losing 40, 60, or 100+ pounds over 12 to 18 months frequently develop loose skin on the abdomen, arms, thighs, breasts, and face that was not anticipated at the start of their weight loss journey. At New Viva MD, Dr. Surkunte is one of the few physicians in Arizona managing both the GLP-1 weight loss program and the skin tightening response as an integrated clinical plan — using InMode Morpheus8 and InMode QuantumRF to address skin laxity as it develops throughout and after the weight loss program. No other East Valley practice offers this level of integrated, physician-led post-weight-loss body transformation planning.
