I've had an exilis treatment for the face for skin tightening. I am due to have 3 more! My question is will facial fat be affected? I have very little facial fat & only want skin tightening, is this possible? Or will fat be lost as well.

Answer: Will Exilis reduce my facial fat? Exilis Elite (radiofrequency) and Exilis Ultra (radiofrequency combined with high frequency ultrasound) are treatments that that can both tighten skin and reduce fat. There are two handpieces on the machines. The smaller handpiece which is usually used only on the face will only tighten skin. The depth of penetration is not enough to reduce fat. The larger handpiece (sometimes called the body handpiece) can penetrate much deeper and that is the one that can decrease fat. In my office we occasionally use this on the face to reduce fat in a controlled manner for overweight people but you can be assured that the facial or smaller handpiece will not do this. Try to find a practitioner with the newest Exilis Ultra machine as we are starting to see even better results with this.

Answer: Does Exilis affect facial fat? The Exilis device has 2 handpieces-one for the face and one for the body. The facial handpiece does not affect facial fat. It targets the dermis, heating the skin to a temperature that will stimulate collagen and elastin formation. The body handpiece is designed to affect fat and tighten skin. Occasionally the body handpiece may be used to treat fat under the chin. This is on off-label use of that handpiece.
