Exilis Ultra 360, Skin Tightening in Beauty District
Exilis Ultra is a noninvasive skin tightening treatment designed to smooth wrinkles and address skin laxity in areas like the face, jowls, neck, abdomen, arms, and thighs.
FDA-cleared for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, the Exilis Ultra 360 device combines ultrasound and radiofrequency energy to stimulate new collagen production.
“Those two forms of energy heat up the collagen in the skin, causing it to contract and leading to skin tightening in the treated area,” explains Dr. Peterson Pierre, a dermatologist in Thousand Oaks, California. “They also stimulate collagen production, which will lead to further tightening visible within 4–6 months, so you get both an immediate and long-term benefit. The same combination of radiofrequency and ultrasound also works on fat cells by destroying them.”
In some cases, Exilis can also aid in fat reduction in patients who are already close to their ideal weight and want subtle body sculpting.
While the treatment can be uncomfortable, pain is usually minimal. Some people even compare the sensation to a hot stone massage.
