What is Exilis?

Exilis is a procedure used for skin tightening and non-invasive fat removal that helps body contouring with virtually no-downtime and no pain while being performed in-office. It uses radio frequency technology to improve skin texture while reducing unseemly fat. Exilis is performed through a number of sessions that gently warms the skin to promote collagen development while reducing unwanted fat.

How Does Exilis Work?

Exilis is radio frequency device that is developed around monopolar cathode technology. Electrical energy is applied by the Exilis hand piece to the treated skin areas, with a grounding pad in place, this allows for the safe delivery of radio waves to the treated areas. Radio waves energy travels from the tip to the skin, warming the skin to around 107 degrees to 113 degrees Fahrenheit. At this point, collagen undergoes a structural change, and over a period of weeks to months new collagen growth develops, leading to improvement wrinkle reduction, skin laxity and texture.
