Exilis: Another Solution for Those Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Exilis is a fairly new and innovative technology for non-invasive and safe skin treatment for all skin types. It is important to note that Exilis is FDA approved for improving skin laxity and the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and a majority of Exilis patients also report a reduction in fat volume. Fat deposits form due to metabolically inactive cells. Patients will see improvement after just one treatment session, however more are usually recommended. Look in your local Yellow Pages or go online to find the approved physician near you.
NON SURGICAL FAT REMOVAL – EXILIS
It seems that more and more non surgical fat removal systems have become available in recent years and they are here today and gone tomorrow. What are these systems and are they safe and if they are, why do most “go-away” after awhile?
The Exilis Procedure is gaining a great reputation for being an effective treatment for fat reduction and Body Contouring. What makes this fat reduction system so popular? To start with, it is non invasive (no surgery), FDA approved and the treatments are fast and easy, less than 1/2 hour and Exilis has been around for a number of years and is getting more and more popular. The Exilis Procedure uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deep tissues in the skin and causes a higher rate of metabolic activity of the fatty cells, which causes them to shrink in size. Up to recently, diet and exercise and liposuction were the only known methods to effectively shrink the fat tissue from our bodies. We all know
about the ups and downs of diet and exercise, and liposuction? Forget it. A lot of downtime because it involves surgery and the patient is out of commission for a time.
Exilis Demands Growing
The wave of the future is available today with the new technology used by the Exilis device, to tighten and firm skin, and even treat cellulite problems. This very effective procedure is painless and fast and there is basically no downtime which accounts for its growth in popularity.
All of the Exilis procedures available today can be attributed to the foresight, planning and professionalism of Dr. Lisa A. Zdinak, M.D., Chief Surgeon and Medical Director of Precision Aesthetics, located in Manhattan. Dr. Zdinak recently reported the opening of her new facility at Central Park West to accommodate the overwhelming demand for the Skin Tightening Center and its advanced body shaping procedures. The new VIP suite is intended to provide a separate treatment lounge for the ultimate in patient privacy.
Exilis Body Shaping
The search for a shapelier silhouette continues to drive patients to seek aesthetic type therapies, but not everyone is willing to go under the knife to lose inches, and many are choosing the popular Exilis Procedures for body shaping at its best.
It used to be that the only way to remove ugly fat volume from the body (aside from diet and exercise) was liposuction, which requires an incision (scar) and downtime from regular daily activities. Most people don’t want this. This fairly new technological marvel, called Exilis Body Shaping, that offers the unique combination of radiofrequency energy (radiowaves) and oscillating mechanical waves for the first time in the United States marketplace. It is FDA approved also.
The technology used by the Exilis Procedure device is literally the ‘wave’ of the future.
Exilis Non Surgical Fat Removal Procedure
Today, there are so many so called fat reduction procedures that come and go, one just doesn’t know what is safe and what isn’t safe. You see ads all over the place for these so called miracle fat removing procedures, then they suddenly disappear and it makes you wonder why.
Well, I just learned about a very safe, painless, and quick 20 minute office procedure called Exilis Non Surgical Fat Removal Procedure that has no downtime or limitations on your activities and it’s been around for a long time, and proven safe. The Exilis Procedure uses radiofrequency energy to volumetrically heat the deeper tissues and to ramp up the metabolic activity of the fat cells, causing them to shrink.
The patient satisfaction rate is high, with circumferential reductions ranging from 4 cm to 15 cm of volume loss after 4 treatment sessions spaced at 2 week intervals. The procedure is FDA approved and the popularity of the procedure is sweeping the country.
Exilis Body Shaping
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.
Thermage or Exilis ?
Exilis is also a radio frequency device, for body shaping. The difference to you between Exilis and Thermage is that Thermage is a one time treatment and Exilis treatments consist of 4-6 sessions. So the good news is Exilis is a lot cheaper per treatment approximately $500 vs $4000 for a body area. However after a 5 or 6 treatments, the price differential is not as great. Another advantage with Exilis is that you get to see how your body responds to a radio frequency treatment without risking many thousands of dollars. Perhaps your particular nature of loose skin, wrinkles or excess skin or extra inches of fat is a “good responder” or maybe not. Some people actually use both devices on different parts of their bodies, plus due to the slightly different shape of the hand pieces of the different devices, one might be more suitable then the other. Finally Exilis is often used for “spot” reduction. My best advice is find a provider that has both. New York has at least one Precision Aesthetics. Precision Aesthetics also has the advantage of being the only New York Thermage Pinnacle and Black Diamond provider, and has the distinction of that award for 4 years running, as well as the first site to offer Exilis. So if you are in that neck of the woods it makes the decision of finding the best provider pretty easy. Obviously the best isnt the cheapest, but as I said in a previous post, if you were getting surgery would you go to the cheapest surgeon ? Any technician with 4 years experience on Thermage and over a year with Exilis ( thats about as long as its been around) will be your opportunity to get the best results that your body is capable of achieving. Lastly if you are considering one of these treatments for your face, misapplied it could be a disaster. These are powerful devices, certain areas are treated lightly to lift and tighten, other areas are gone over with multiple passes to reduce fat, like a double chin. If not done properly you could literally land up losing critical fat and collagen in areas where you most need it. It is an art and it takes a lot of experience. Its your face you are better off not doing it at all then risking a bad treatment.
