1/ How long does it last?

According to clinical data, Exilis Elite™ results are generally permanent, if you maintain your weight following the treatment. Its use to treat cellulite is not-permanent, however, as this can easily reoccur over time.

The longevity of the results will depend on your genetic predisposition to ageing and your lifestyle.  Top-up treatments may be required to maintain the results.

2/How does it work?

Exilis Elite™ uses a combination of radiofrequency energy (3.4Mhz up to 120 Watts), ultrasound and skin cooling to deliver controlled heating targeting deep tissue, addressing deeper wrinkles, sagging skin and jowls, as well as the superficial skin layer, treating finer lines.

The device uses a handpiece to treat the body and a smaller one for treating the face. This is kept in almost constant motion as it treats.

The face applicator tip uses focused thermal energy to disrupt the collagen fibres deep within the skin. The aim of treatment is to raise the temperature at the skin surface to 40-42°C in each area treated to achieve collagen tightening. This will be felt as a warming sensation by the client.

3/ The body applicator tip has a built-in thermometer so there is no risk of overheating  and also has an option for something called ‘layered advanced cooling’, allowing the practitioner to precisely control the heat and level at which the energy is delivered. This controls whether the Exilis delivers energy to the superficial skin layer or whether the energy is targeted to the deeper tissue. The real time control of cooling and heating also means that the treatment is comfortable at the surface of the skin for the patient, and although during the treatment the skin may feel slightly warm, there will be no pain or bruising.

 4/ Reasons you could not have this treatment?

As long as you are generally healthy and don’t have any serious health concerns (e.g., liver, kidney or heart disease, cancer etc.), skin diseases or active infections in the area proposed for treatment, there are few medical reasons why you should not undergo this treatment. If you have a history of cold sores, you may need to take medication before treatment can be done.

If you have a pacemaker or any other implanted metal (e.g., hip joints) or electronic device ((e.g., internal defibrillator) then you will not be suitable for the Exilis treatment due to the delivery of radiofrequency energy to the body which could heat up these items. If you are planning a treatment to the facial area, then metal dental braces may be a contra-indication for treatment due to the path of the radiofrequency from the treatment site to the grounding pad.

This treatment is not advised for pregnant or breast-feeding women.

As the demand for non-invasive treatments grows and people move away from going under the knife the number of devices on the market place is growing day on day. However unlike The Exilis Elite™ many are unproven with no evidence to back up the claims made. If you are looking for a treatment that is clinically and scientifically proven then The Exilis Elite™ is the treatment for you.

A course of treatments is usually between 4 and 6 sessions (Depending on which areas treated and individual requirements).
