I just had my 1st treatment on the lower buttock/upper thigh and knees (inner and around the top). I am 43, 5'4 and 116-118lbs. I exercise regularly (not a hard body but fit). When I was in my early 20s I had lipo on my outer thighs/buttocks. The thigh results were awesome but I was left with a droopy, saggy bum. I had a wedge revision done which helped things about 20%...which was what was expected. So 20 years have passed and gravity continues to play havoc back there. Even in top shape (think buns of steel), the sag could hold a pencil...not sexy. I have done endermologie, Velashape, and Accent. Of those, Accent provided best results in terms of reducing some of the cellulite (I have some but not a horrible amount by any stretch) and providing some lifting ( I can actually see some on my wedge scar without lifting the shelf). I had 6 sessions of the Accent at $1800. So folks, this ain't my first rodeo. I'll keep you posted as I proceed...5 more sessions to go.

Had 1/2 of round 2 yesterday...traffic cluster made me late so focus was on the lower buttock/thigh area. I don't know why but I was super sensitive yesterday and must of said "hot" 50 times as opposed to the 20 from the first visit. When the technician is applying the tool, the goal is to get the area with a certain heat range. Sometimes things get hot in a spot quickly so you need to tell them so they can adjust settings to avoid burning. DO NOT be the tough guy in this situation. Anyway, after 2 sessions I can see a minor improvement in one butt cheek as I can't pinch quite as much, the other remains the same (but has always had more sag).

Nina43 - I have posted on the exilis just a week or so ago. Working on the jowl/neck area. I have had 4 treatments in those areas and 2 treatments under my eyes. Can see that my neck isn't as stringy so it's working already. So far very happy with the results. Thinking about doing my upper and inner thighs and also tummy. Keep us posted. You are absolutely right - DO NOT BE A TOUGH GUY. Tell the person doing the treatment when it's getting too hot. Wishing you great results!!!

To date I have 4 treatments on my lower buttock/upper thighs and 3 on my knees. Sadly I have not seen much improvement and there has been no change in measurements. Treatment 5 is next week. Will keep you posted.
