Protege Fat Loss Vs Skin Tightening, I have no excess fat.

Question

I am a slender mature woman, 60's. I have some facial/neck laxity. I have no excess fat in these areas. Would RF (protege) help tighten my skin without reducing fat. I'm concerned that I could end up looking skeletal if I loose any facial/ neck fat. I want the fat I have! Thank you!

Thank you for your question in regards to Exilis treatment. There is a specific hand piece used with the Exilis machine that is used on the face for tightening only, not fat reduction. This machine uses radio frequency to help stimulate new collagen growth to improve skin laxity. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more 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 treatment. I hope this helps.

Hi, the Exilis Elite or Protege facial treatment does not reduce fat. It utilizes radiofrequency to heat the skin stimulating collagen and elastin production. There is a body handpiece that delivers energy in a different fashion that treats fat as well as tightens the skin. Typically a series of Protege treatments is required to give optimal results.
