Exilis: Newest Marvel for Non Surgical Fat Removal

Exilis is the newest FDA approved technological marvel for non susrgical fat removal, that offers the unique combination of radiofrequency energy (radiowaves) and oscillating mechanical waves for the first time in the United States. The Exilis technology 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. This occurs in a painless and quick 20 minute office procedure with no downtime or limitations on your activities!

This fantastic technology, using the new Exilis device, is literally the ‘wave’ of the future for non surgical fat removal.

Exilis is the newest FDA approved technological marvel that offers the unique combination of radiofrequency energy (radiowaves) and oscillating mechanical waves for the first time to the United States marketplace. 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 radio-frequency heat to ramp up their metabolic activity and shrink the size of the fat cells. This occurs in a painless and quick 20 minute office procedure with no downtime or limitations on your activities!

Clearing the Confusion, Fat, Cellulite, Stretch marks, Loose Skin. Which machine is right for me ?

I answer the phones on nights and weekends just to be helpful to the poor confused consumer, who is obviously working hard all day to have the money to afford these treatments. Sadly every doctor looking to make a buck and every manufacturer looking to make a buck are overstating and overselling. The average doctor that has never spent any time in formally educating him or herself in cosmetic procedures let alone doing fellowships and attending conferences and studying full time, goes out there buys one machine and claims it does it all. Its simply not true. This time of the year when everyone is getting “beach ready” we are busy doing the right thing. Some people simply have a little cellulite which acoustic wave is excellent at reducing. Patients love it ! Does thermage help a little with cellulite ? Yes, but if you have an acoustic wave machine that is what is going to do a better job. What about fat ? Sure once again Thermage is good and many international patients come in just to do or redo their Thermage with us. They love the fact that its a single treatment and they can get a nice result assuming they are going to someone who knows what they are doing and is actually using the right number of pulses and even multiple tips. I laugh when I hear the prices they are quoted. We sometimes use more than $2000 in consumables for an extensive body treatment. So whoever quoted them a price of $2000 is either using bootleg tips from China, not using the right number of pulses or the right number of tips and they will not get a good treatment or worse yet they could get burned with bootleg tips. Actually I will write another blog post on this. Back to today’s comment, The right machine for your treatment. So back to fat. Exilis, http://www.precisionaestheticsmd.com/services-exilis-nonsurgical-fat-reduction.html which we, Precision Aesthetics, were the first to introduce to New York, is actually the best machine for fat loss, or body shaping. Stretch marks ? Carboxytherapy. The point is dont even think of going to someone who just bought one machine, barely knows how it works, has not been doing it for more than 7 years, doesn’t have at least 4 different machines that excel in each area. If you are going to get your body in shape. Most of our patients get treated with at least 2 or 3 machines. We even are using Illumiwave Lipocontour 635. Its a cold laser that literally allows the fat to leak out of the cells into the interstitial space in between the cells. The point is the right machine or combination of machines for your treatment. Its all individualized treatments. It took me 8 years of constant studying and attending conferences to get to the point where I know all the machines in the market place and which ones are safe and effective for different problems. Dont allow some fast talking salesman or seminar convince you that one machine is going to solve all of your problems. Its simply not true. Different types of energy reach different depths, where the fat lies, where the collage network is. We are talking about one machine using radio frequency another ultrasound. Carboxytherapy is injecting Co2 gas. That actually helps circulation which fades the stretch marks. Are you starting to understand ? These are completely different technologies that are perfectly suited to and excel at one particular problem. That is why we use three or more different machines to treat one person. Get a real consultation, free by the way, and get a custom treatment to get you in your best “bikini” shape now before the summer starts and enjoy it. We can have you looking your best by 4th of July while looking better and better every week thereafter. But dont wait any longer. At least get your consult now.

Part III Carboxytherapy Work for Stretchmarks

How does carboxytherapy work for stretchmarks?

Stretchmarks (striae distensae) occur when the skin is stretched to the point where the dermal collagen ruptures. Carboxytherapy causes the formation of new collagen and subsequently thickens the skin to improve the appearance of the stretchmarks by rebuilding the collagen matrix.

How does carboxytherapy work for cellulite and fat reduction?

When injected via a specific technique, carbon dioxide gas is directly toxic to fat cells. The fat cells literally burst and are eliminated by the body.

If carboxytherapy is used to melt fat, won’t it make my eyelids hollow?

No. The technique used to treat dark circles beneath the eyelids is different than the technique used to treat fat. However, there are some instances where I may wish to dissolve fat beneath the eyelids using a technique that I created.

How is the carboxytherapy treatment administered?

There are several machines that are used to administer the carbon dioxide gas, but the basic components are the same. There is a tank of carbon dioxide gas that is connected by plastic tubing to a flow-regulator. The flow-regulator slows down the speed of the gas according to the rate selected by the physician. The gas emerges from the flow-regulator into sterile tubing that has a filter connected at the exit to remove any trace impurities before the gas is run through a tiny needle attached to the opposite side of the filter. The pure gas is now ready to be injected beneath the skin via the tiny needle.

What does carboxytherapy feel like?

Carboxytherapy doesn’t hurt; it just feels a little “weird.” Because of differences in the techniques used to treat the eyelids, stretch-marks, scars, and fat deposits, the sensation is slightly different depending upon what is actually being treated. I use numbing cream for all of my patients to diminish any discomfort associated with the pin-prick of the needle itself.

When treating the eyelids, I tell my patients that the lower eyelids will feel puffy, like they were up crying all night, but that will subside once the gas is absorbed over the next five to ten minutes.

The treatment of stretch-marks and scars is relatively painless because this skin doesn’t have the same ability to sense pain. Some pressure from the gas may be felt as the stretch-marks are distended, and they can feel a bit itchy, but again this subsides in about five minutes once the gas is absorbed by the body. Scars generally feel no pain because there are no nerves in scar tissue.

The treatment of cellulite and fatty deposits on the arms, abdomen, and legs has a unique sensation of its own. This is because a larger amount of the gas is injected directly into the offending fat deposits and allowed to expand. While the gas is expanding, you may feel some pressure in the area being treated that feels similar to when the arm is squeezed by a blood pressure cuff. The areas will feel warm and tingly for up to 24 hours after the treatment as the circulation to the area is improved.

Part II- What are Some Clinical Uses for Carboxytherapy

What are some clinical uses for carboxytherapy?

Carboxytherapy is used for the treatment of dark under-eye circles, stretch-marks, cellulite reduction, and non-surgical fat sculpting on the face and the body.

What areas of the body can be treated with carboxytherapy?

Carboxytherapy can be used to treat the eyelids, face, neck, arms, stomach, buttocks, and legs.

What other benefits occur from carboxytherapy?

In addition to increasing oxygenated blood-flow to the region injected, carboxytherapy also increases collagen formation in the skin, giving it a more youthful appearance.

How does carboxytherapy work for dark undereye circles?

One major cause of dark under eye circles is vascular pooling. The capillary network of the lower eyelids can become congested for a variety of reasons. Normally, the tears drain from the eyelids into the nose, but if there is some obstruction due to chronic nasal congestion from seasonal allergies, previous nasal fracture, or a deviated septum, the drainage doesn’t function well, and the blood flow to the lower eyelids becomes sluggish, giving rise to the boggy blue tinge known casually as “allergic shiners.” The lack of appropriate oxygenation to the lower eyelid skin allows the bluish cast to show through the thin skin of the eyelids. Carboxytherapy works to improve the capillary network of the lower eyelids, as well as to increase the dermal collagen layer in the lower eyelid skin. By injecting a small amount of carbon dioxide gas into the affected areas, blood flow is increased and improved capillary networks are formed for longer lasting circulatory benefit. The bluish cast is replaced with a healthy pink tone. Once a series of treatments is completed, the skin has a more luminous appearance that lasts approximately six months.
