How effective is exilis for weight reduction?

Question

If I am not specifically interested in skin tightening, is it still a viable option for weight reduction? How many inches do people usually lose? Do all exilis providers offer a package deal (Ex: 4 treatments to one area for $1,300)? Is the abdomen considered one zone or two? same for love-handles, thighs, etc.?

Thank you for your question about Exilis Elite.Exilis is not designed as a weight loss procedure. It is for skin tightening and shaping.

To be sure, see two or more licensed
and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make
sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have these
treatments.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your
question – and in my office, we usually use Exilis Elite for skin tightening,
not for overt fat reduction. Because it uses a unique delivery of its
radiofrequency (RF) energy into the skin, there are some that note fat
reduction. The newer device from this company, BLT, known as Vanquish, is their
fat reduction device, and many are noting some very acceptable results with it.
Weight reduction will vary, depending on you and how many treatments you have
done, your diet and exercise plan, etc. Depending on the device and what is
being used for fat reduction, prices vary and how docs charge vary. But typically,
the abdomen is considered one area, the love handles one area, the inner thighs
one area, and the outer thighs one area. This is not done this way everywhere,
but this is how we have always done things. I hope this helps.
