Exilis definitely reduces fat, but you can gain it back - San Francisco, CA

Ulthera Brow Lift and Eye Area didn't work, bummer

HI Megan,

Waiting is hard! Especially since if it works, I will do my lower face and/ or neck. I want instant gratification, but this is so expensive that I must wait. Plus I hear the lower face hurts more, don't want to go through it needlessly.

I strongly suspect that if this works, I will start to notice in a month.

I've ready reviews, but haven't tracked when folks start to notice (other than the lucky ones that see immediate results). Have you?

The part of liquid silicon fillers that worries me is that even if done right, when you age, the skin thins, but the silicon is of permanent size, which could look like a bump/lump.

Kathi,

Thanks. And I agree that waiting is key. I also hope that the body will do some of its own healing.

I do like the suction/RF combo for cellulite. I will note and research the Viora Reaction and compare it to the next gen Vela when it comes out. (I do have one area with cellulite that I haven't treated with Exilis to date).

Kathi,

One other comment. When my front thighs shrunk with Exilis (I could really tell this week), I did notice looser skin too (even though I had been doing 50/50 fat reduction and tightening). So this week, on my final #4 of the set of 4, I just did tightening only. I will let you know if it works for me.

How many rounds of Exilis did you try in that area to try to tighten it? (and did you see further fat loss?)

Kathi,

The biggest problem I see is that the Velashape technician worked on both legs, when you only wanted it on one. As I mentioned, I have uneven thighs also, we measured them and the nurse spent far more time on the bigger thigh. I don't get how the doctor could possibly blame you for that, regardless of why your thighs are uneven in the first place. I assume that getting a dent was from some uneven application of the RF. I do know that I got a welt from it last time (still there after a week but going away). But I am extremely cautious and stop the nurse instantly if it feels wrong. (especially after all I read here).

The nice part is the nurse had the treatment recently, so she now truly understands, for example that the grounding pad can get very hot. She always respected my requests to stop, but still, first hand experience brings empathy. I do trust her - has been built over time.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Nickal,

I wasn't able to see the doctor today, so will need to wait to ask about pricing for hands. The nurse said she has done them for others with good results, which is encouraging.
