What is the difference between Ultherapy and Exilis? Which one is better?

Question

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Ultherapy continues to be the clear leader in non surgical face and neck lifting as it addresses the supporting soft tissue of the SMAS layer. An excellent choice with excellent results. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Brian S. Biesman, MD · Answer

These technologies are very different.  Ultherapy has been demonstrated to be effective through numerous well controlled clinical trials.  Ultherapy is  the only technology which has an indication for noninvasive lifting of the eyebrows and the skin under the chin.  I would recommend treatment with a device which has been tested and studied extensively.  That said, there are no guarantees as to outcome with any noninvasive skin tightening device.  I would find a physician who you trust and follow their recommendations.

Hi,We have had both devices for several years. Ultherapy is the only FDA cleared device for non surgical lifting.  Ultherapy uses micro focused ultrasound to go deeper and last longer.  Exilis is radiofrequency to tighten skin and requires more treatments and doesn’t last as long.  We go over the pros and cons of both devices in consultations and make recommendations based on the patient’s individual preferences and skin type.Warmly,Dr.Liu

Exilis is the FDA approved non-invasive treatment for body shaping and skin tightening. It uses monopolar RF (radio frequency) to deliver controlled heat approximately 1-3 cm under the skin.Ultherapy is FDA approved for non surgical tightening of the skin using high frequency ultrasound and is time tested and effective in treating laxity of the skin of the face, neck, decolletage. It is also FDA cleared for a non surgical eyebrow lift. Read the Ultherapy book on the link below.
