The FDA approved technological marvel, called Exilis Body Shaping, offers the unique combination of radiofrequency energy (radiowaves) and oscillating mechanical waves for the first time in the United States marketplace.
What makes this combination of RF and oscillating waves so powerful? Well, it used to be that the only way to remove fat volume from the body (aside from diet and exercise) was liposuction, which requires an incision (scar) and downtime from regular daily activities. There are several machines on the market that use radiowaves alone, or combined with other forms of energy that can tighten the skin, or treat cellulite, but none can promise actual circumferential reduction until now. The search for a shapelier silhouette continues to drive patients to seek aesthetic therapies, but not everyone is willing to go under the knife to lose inches.
Here’s why: Fat cells are actually stored in the body in lobules that are clustered like a bunch of grapes. These clusters are wrapped in a fibrous tissue layer like a hairnet that holds them together. This fibrous tissue layer makes it virtually impossible to reach the fatty clusters without a liposuction cannula—until now. The Exilis uses the vibrations of oscillating mechanical waves to rattle the fat lobules out of their fibrous cage, and then blasts them with the radiofrequency heat to ramp up their metabolic activity and shrink the size of the fat cells. All of this occurs in a painless and quick 20 minute office procedure with no downtime or limitations on your activities! The technology used by the Exilis device is literally the ‘wave’ of the future.
