Exilis is a non-surgical RF (radio frequency) device that uses a temperature-regulated energy delivery handpiece to heat (comfortably, not a burn) skin. This controlled and regulated system delivers precisely dosed superficial heat that stimulates neocollagenesis (formation of new collagen) in the skin. This thickens and tightens the treated areas. Best results are seen with a series of weekly treatments, and since the created collagen is actually "new" collagen rather than transient swelling, the improvements are real and lasting. This will never replace a facelift or tummy tuck, but for patients who want some degree of improvement without the downtime of a surgical procedure (or are unable to undergo elective surgery), this is one of the best devices/treatments out there, and in my humble opinion, substantially better and much more comfortable than Thermage.

Yes, Exilis does cause a collagen-production response as well as what's termed "collagen remodeling". Heating the underlying skin tissues to specific temperature levels causes the response. In essence we are creating a controlled and purposeful injury to the dermal tissues. The superficial skin layers are protected with cooling so there is no external damage. But the body is very efficient at managing what it perceives as an assault and with Exilis and similar heat based treatments, the desired response provides tighter skin. It might sound weird to purposefully wound the skin, but many of the nonsurgical procedures are based on super-heating the skin because of the known response.
Dear Apel, thank you for your question. Exilis has wonnumerous awards and is considered one of the best skin tightening devices onthe market. Exilis causes collagen remodeling and tightening. It is verypopular at our San Diego medical spa. Ideal candidates have mild to moderateskin laxity, and no implantable metal devices in the treatment area or a pacemaker.Consult with an Exilis physician to see if you are a good candidate. Good Luck!
Hi, We have the newest models of both machines so I can tell you our feedback on both. Ultherapy with the Deep-See handpiece and new software protocol is the only FDA device approved to lift the skin on the face and neck. It utilizes both deep and superficial ultrasound focused...
As long as the operator does not press too hard on your lip areas and cut your mucosa on your braces, Exilis energy itself is not a problem with braces. There will be no electrical shock, sparks, or burns! Proceed without worries! Best wishes! Dr. Tholen
Thanks for asking. You are wise to inquire about qualifications to utilize Excilis RF (radio frequency) skin tightening technology. Though used in many clinic/spa settings, a physician must purchase the machine, oversee its use, train and direct any non-physician treatment providers, and...
