Exilis™

What is Exilis™?

Exilis™ therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency energy and ultrasound waves to target stubborn fat deposits, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and tighten skin laxity. It aids in body contouring, firming skin, providing a natural-looking facelift, and offering you a rejuvenating cosmetic solution without the need for surgery. Exilis™ therapy helps to restore a more youthful look and treats the signs of ageing and skin damage. Over time, as we get older and collagen production slows, the effects start to show in our skin, such as dull and uneven skin, saggy skin, loss of facial volume, fine lines, and wrinkles, crow’s feet, and so on.

Skin damage can also occur over time due to scarring, pigmentation, or sun exposure. With its focused energy, Exilis™ encourages the natural healing process, aiming to improve your skin's tone and texture over a series of appointments.

How does Exilis™ work?

Exilis™ therapy involves using a device that emits controlled radiofrequency energy. This energy penetrates your skin to heat the deeper layers where collagen fibres are found. Collagen is the protein that gives skin its firmness and elasticity. When the collagen is heated, your body's natural response is to tighten these fibres and then gradually produce new collagen, which results in firmer and brighter skin over time.

During Exilis™ sessions, you are likely to feel a warming sensation as the device does its work. While the Exilis™ applicator is in contact with your skin, it also has a cooling mechanism to ensure your skin surface remains comfortable during treatment. This duality of heating and cooling maximises results while minimising discomfort.

What results can I expect from Exilis™?

The outcomes from Exilis™ treatments depend on individual conditions, yet they generally reflect a marked improvement in the treated areas. You may observe a reduction in fat and a more defined shape, particularly in resilient zones that do not respond to exercise and diet.

Skin in treated areas often displays a renewed elasticity, looking firmer and feeling tighter, contributing to a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Some individuals report seeing changes fairly soon after treatment, with the full effect becoming evident after a series of sessions, these changes will continue to improve over subsequent months as your body naturally processes and removes the treated fat cells and produces new collagen. When used on areas such as the abdomen or thighs, you might notice that clothes fit better, with a more flattering silhouette developing over time.

Maintaining realistic expectations is vital, and engaging with your specialist will give you a clearer idea of the results you can expect that are tailored to your body's unique traits.

How many sessions of Exilis™ are needed?

The number of Exilis™ sessions you require will vary, as each person's body reacts differently to treatment. Generally, a course of four to six sessions is recommended, scheduled two weeks apart, to achieve the desired contouring and skin tightening effects. The sessions usually last about 20 to 30 minutes. However, in some cases, considering your specific goals and the particularities of your situation, your specialist might suggest a different regimen. Through one-on-one conversation with your doctor, you can discern if the desired results can be achieved according to the recommended plan.
