Exilis Ultra 360

Frequently Asked Questions About Exilis Ultra 360

• Is Exilis the same as Thermage?

  No, Exilis is not the same as Thermage. Exilis Ultra uses both radiofrequency and ultrasound energy to heat the skin. Thermage uses only radiofrequency to heat specific areas within the skin.

• What is the difference between Exilis and Ultherapy?

  Exilis uses both ultrasound and radiofrequency energy and controlled heating and cooling to cause the skin to tighten and build new collagen. Ultherapy only uses ultrasound energy and heats the muscles and skin to create firmer skin with fewer wrinkles. Exilis usually needs multiple treatments while Ultherapy typically only requires one. Exilis is better suited for larger areas, vs Ultherapy for smaller regions.

• How long will my results last?

  Exilis Ultra provides excellent results that tend to last years, but take annual maintenance treatments to maintain results.

• How much of a difference will I see with Exilis?

  Treatments like Exilis that work to stimulate collagen production can have different impacts on different people. Most patients see excellent results. However, there is no way for us to know exactly how your body will react to the treatment. Results tend to be better in younger, less sun damaged individuals and less in older individuals, over 65 and smokers.

• When will I start seeing results?

  Some patients may see results after the first treatment, but normally, it takes 2-3 treatments before the results really start to show. Depending on how you schedule your appointments, it can be between 3-6 weeks. We take a series of before and after photos to help patients more easily visualize their results.

• Is Exilis Ultra right for me? Who's a good candidate?

  Exilis Ultra is recommended for anyone who is a healthy adult with unwanted loose skin, excess fat, or wrinkles. The best results are achieved by patients with mild to moderate skin laxity or looseness. The treatment can be used on many different parts of the body including the face.

• Is there downtime or recovery afterward?

  Once the procedure is completed, you are free to go on with your day. There is no downtime or recovery period.  You might experience a little pinkness in the treatment area but it will likely disappear after 15-30 minutes.

• Will I need numbing or anesthesia?

  No, the Exilis Ultra treatment is very comfortable. You won’t feel much discomfort at all. Most patients only feel a little heat in the treated area.

• What is the treatment like?

  It starts with the treatment area being marked by the provider and a conductive gel or mineral oil being applied. Next, the handpiece glides over the skin as it begins to send ultrasound and radiofrequency energy into the layers of the skin. At most, you’ll feel a warming sensation. A thermometer on the device is used by the provider to ensure the treatment is safe and as comfortable as possible.

• Is Exilis worth the money?

  Exilis can certainly be worth the money. Many patients find Exilis beneficial. The best way to determine if the procedure is right for you is to schedule a consultation today.

• Does Exilis 360 work?

  Patient satisfaction with Exilis 360 is excellent. Patients have seen tighter and firmer skin and feel better about their body.

• Is Exilis better than Coolsculpting?

  While the two treatments have some similarities, Exilis’s main application is to firm and tighten skin whereas Coolsculpting melts away fat.

• How many sessions of Exilis do I need?

  It depends on the area you’re looking to treat. A bigger area may need more sessions. If the results you’re looking for are more dramatic, you may also need more sessions. Typically, patients may require up to 4-6 treatment sessions.

• Is Exilis 360 painful?

  Most patients don’t feel any discomfort at all. At most, you’ll feel a warming sensation from the heat of the device.

• Does Exilis make you lose weight?

  Exilis is not meant to make you lose weight. It works to tighten skin and can melt some fat. A healthy lifestyle is recommended for those who receive the treatment.

• Does Exilis tighten skin or burn fat?

  Both! Exilis tightens skin and can melts small amounts of fat at the same time.

• Can Exilis be used under the eyes?

  Yes! Exilis can be used under the eyes to tighten any loose skin there. And by addressing the loose skin, it can also reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the eye area as well. We prefer to use thermismooth and Ifine for this area though.

• What treatment should I do after Exilis?

  After treatment, you’ll want to stay hydrated but there is no downtime. You can go to work, perform your daily activities, and even exercise.

• Does Exilis build collagen?

  Yes! Exilis stimulates the production of collagen in the treated area. This improves elasticity and tightens the skin leading to firmer and smoother skin.
