I have read a lot of doctor's opinions here on Ulthera being better than Thermage, but what about Exilis vs Thermage for tightening of the face (not discussing fat reduction). They both use RF, but I read that Exilis goes deeper. I am not discussing pain or cost, or that Exilis requires more treatments, just the bottom line results. Thanks!

Answer: Exilis, Ulthera and Thermage
I find that Exilis works very well. I have been doing radiofrequency for over ten years starting with the first Thermage machine and progressing with a newer Thermage machine. I now have the Exilis machine. The radiofrequency is the same monopolar type as Thermage which is important in differentiating each of them from other types of radiofrequency machines on the market. However, we have finally found a way to deliver the power in a safe, affordable, comfortable and effective manner. Although it takes more treatments than the Thermage, each Exilis treatment is far more comfortable (different than Ulthera which is high frequency ultrasound, not radiofrequency) and no pretreatment medication is required. For tightening the facial skin we use Exilis at a depth no deeper than Thermage. It is for fat reduction and cellulite treatment that Exilis goes deeper and is able to target fat cells. Exilis results tend to be more consistently good in my hands than what the Thermage results were. There are still a few patients who get less results than others but the more experience the office has with the machinery, the bmore consistent our results tend to be.
