Get Summer-Ready Skin and Body Without Going Under the Knife
Mar 11, 2026
Summer in West Hollywood has a way of sneaking up on you. One day you're bundled up in January, and the next you're wondering why you didn't start sooner. If tighter skin, a more sculpted body, or both are on your list this year, now is genuinely the right time to get moving.
At Le Jolie Medi Spa, we've been helping patients in West Hollywood and Beverly Hills feel confident in their skin since 2013. Every spring, we hear the same question from patients walking through our doors: "What's the best treatment to get ready for summer?" The honest answer is that it really depends on what you're working with and what you want to achieve. The great news is that we have proven, cutting-edge options for almost every concern, and none of them require surgery or significant downtime.
This guide walks you through our most popular skin tightening and body contouring treatments, who they work best for, and when you need to book to actually see results before swimsuit season hits.
Face and Neck · Skin Tightening
Morpheus8 — Deep Remodeling for Firmer, Smoother Skin
If there is one treatment our patients ask about more than any other for skin tightening, it is Morpheus8. It combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to reach deep into the skin and the underlying tissue, where it triggers real collagen and elastin remodeling. What that means in practice is visibly firmer, smoother skin on the face, neck, and body, with results that keep improving for up to three months after your final session.
At Le Jolie, Morpheus8 is particularly popular for patients who are noticing laxity around the jawline, neck, or jowls and want to address it without any of the risks that come with surgery. It also does a lot for skin texture, acne scarring, and uneven tone, so patients often walk away with improvements they were not even expecting.
Best For: Skin laxity · Jawline definition · Skin texture · Mild to moderate sagging
Face · Lifting and Toning
Forma and Emface — A Non-Surgical Approach to a Lifted Face
For patients who want a more lifted, contoured face without needles or recovery time, Forma and Emface are two of the most requested treatments at Le Jolie, and it is easy to see why.
Forma uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat the deeper layers of skin, stimulating collagen over a series of comfortable sessions. Patients describe it as relaxing, almost like a warm facial massage, and they love the gradual glow that builds with each visit. It has earned the nickname "lunchtime facelift" for a reason.
Emface takes things a step further. It combines RF with HIFES technology to tighten skin and tone the underlying facial muscles at the same time, all with zero needles involved. There is genuinely nothing else on the market that works quite the way Emface does, and the results speak for themselves.
Best For: Preventative aging · Natural lifting · Skin quality · Patients who prefer needle-free treatments
Body · Muscle and Fat
EmsculptNeo — Build Muscle and Burn Fat at the Same Time
EmsculptNeo might be the most impressive body treatment we offer, and patients who try it tend to become regulars for life. In a single 30-minute session, it uses high-intensity electromagnetic energy combined with radiofrequency to eliminate fat cells and build lean muscle simultaneously. The comparison that always sticks is that one session is roughly equivalent to doing 20,000 crunches or squats, except you are lying down and doing absolutely nothing.
Clinical data backs this up, showing an average of 30 percent fat reduction and 25 percent muscle increase in treated areas. At Le Jolie, popular treatment zones include the abdomen, glutes, arms, calves, and thighs. Most patients do a series of four to six sessions, which is exactly why spring is the right time to start if you want to feel the difference by July.
Best For: Core definition · Glute sculpting · Muscle tone · Fat reduction
Body · Skin Tightening and Fat Reduction
BodyFX and MiniFX — Smoother Skin and Less Fat, Without Surgery
BodyFX is the treatment we recommend most often for patients targeting stubborn fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks, back, and thighs, especially when loose or crepey skin is part of the concern. It combines radiofrequency energy with deep tissue heating and suction to break down fat cells and tighten skin at the same time. No surgery, no compression garments, and no extended recovery.
MiniFX uses the same technology in a smaller applicator, making it ideal for more precise areas like the inner arms, knees, or bra line. These are spots that almost everyone struggles with and that respond poorly to exercise alone. Together, BodyFX and MiniFX cover a lot of ground.
Best For: Cellulite · Loose skin on the body · Stubborn fat pockets · Patients post-weight-loss
Face and Body · Skin Clarity
Lumecca IPL — Get That Glow Before the Season Starts
You can have everything else dialed in, and sun damage or uneven skin tone can still hold the whole look back. That is where Lumecca IPL comes in. It is the most powerful IPL device available, and it targets pigmentation, sunspots, broken capillaries, and redness in just one or two sessions.
For patients in West Hollywood who spend time in the sun, this treatment feels almost essential as a seasonal reset. There is minimal downtime, results show up within days, and the clarity it delivers to the complexion is hard to replicate with skincare alone.
Best For: Sunspots · Uneven skin tone · Redness · Pre-summer skin prep
"Our patients want results that speak for themselves. A natural, refreshed look that turns heads without anyone knowing exactly why."

Can You Combine These Treatments?
You can, and honestly, combining treatments is often where the best results come from. At Le Jolie, our providers are experienced at building multi-treatment plans that layer technologies in a way that makes sense for your body and your timeline. A few of our most popular pairings for summer include:
Morpheus8 with EzGel PRF: RF remodeling supported by your own growth factors for faster collagen production and better overall skin quality.
EmsculptNeo with BodyFX: Build muscle, reduce fat, and tighten the overlying skin for a result that looks genuinely sculpted.
Emface with Forma: Facial muscle toning paired with RF skin tightening for a comprehensive lifted look with no needles required.
Lumecca IPL with Microneedling: Clear pigmentation and improve texture in the same seasonal treatment plan.
Timing matters with all of these. Each treatment has its own spacing requirements, and our providers will put together a schedule that lines up with your summer goals and your budget.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Honestly, most people who come in for a consultation are surprised by how many options are available to them. Whether you are in your mid-twenties focused on early prevention or in your fifties looking to reverse some of what time has taken, these treatments are designed to be customized to your skin type, your anatomy, and your goals.
The one thing worth setting expectations around is that these are not weight loss treatments. They work best for patients who are already close to where they want to be and are looking to refine, tighten, or sculpt specific areas. If you are unsure where you fall, the easiest thing to do is come in for a consultation. Our team will take a look, ask the right questions, and build a plan that actually makes sense for you.

Your Summer Timeline: When to Book
March and April
This is the sweet spot. Starting EmsculptNeo, BodyFX, and Morpheus8 series now gives you enough sessions to see full results by June or July. It is also the ideal time to begin a Forma or Emface series if gradual lifting and skin quality are your focus.
May
Still very doable for faster-response treatments like Emface, Lumecca IPL, and individual skin tightening sessions. A single Lumecca treatment can noticeably brighten the skin within one to two weeks. Maintenance sessions and boosters also make sense at this stage.
June and Beyond
This is when we shift toward treatments with minimal downtime that play well with sun exposure. Facials, PRX Bio-Revitalization, and Aquagold are excellent in-season options. We recommend avoiding aggressive resurfacing during peak summer months.
