I am looking into the two possibilities for facial skin tightening. I live in Europe. Exilis is available locally in a nearby clinic at a good price point (50 Euros per treatment to the whole face). The Ultherapy is only available in a clinic in another country and is probably more expensive. They are on holiday now, so I don't know the cost. Can anyone tell me if one treatment is better than the other or are they both the same. I'm looking for diminished eyebags and tighter cheeks.

Answer: Exilis Vs Ultherapy Hi and thank you for your question. We have had both in our practice. Currently, we primarily use Ultherapy because of we seen results that surpass the other technologies. The ultrasound imagining capability of Ultherapy is just one of the factors that sets it apart from the other skin tightening technologies. Its the only device to be approved for "lifting" versus just tightening, because of how much lifting was seen in the FDA studies. Its the only device to use high intensity, micro-focused ultrasound to deliver the energy, which is a more precise and predictable way to cause collagen denaturation and stimulation of new collagen. Each TCP (thermal coagulation point) heats the tissue to a minimum of 65 degrees Celsius. With RF technologies, the way the energy is delivered is "bulk heating" which makes it difficult to know which areas are reaching target temperatures. You also only need one Ultherapy every 1-3 years, depending on how much laxity you started with and what your desired results are. Good luck!

Answer: Exilis versus Ultherapy - Williamsville, NY I have had Ultherapy myself and have performed it since 2011 in hundreds of patients. Exilis uses monopolar RF energy and works via apoptosis of tissue. There is no imaging during treatments which is the beauty of focused ultrasound therapy.Ultherapy is a 2 in 1 device, as it provided high intensity focused ultrasound and delivers it while imaging the area of delivery with B mode ultrasonography. It is TARGETED therapy ! Read the Ultherapy ebook provided on the link below under ebooks.
