FAQs on Body Sculpting
What Is Body Sculpting?
Body sculpting (also known as body shaping or body contouring) is the non-surgical removal of fatty deposits under the skin in order to reshape the contours of the body. There are four main methods of body sculpting currently used today:
- Heat treatments
- Cold treatments
- Ultrasound treatments
- Radiofrequency treatments
Exilis falls under the category of radiofrequency treatment. This treatment delivers electrical energy to create heat that destroys fat cells.
What Is Body Sculpting With Exilis?
Exilis is a handheld radiofrequency device that delivers safe electrical energy to the skin. This electric energy warms the skim to approximately 107 to 111 degrees Fahrenheit to improve skin tone and texture, encourage new collagen growth, and reduce unwanted fat. Following Exilis treatments, patients can expect to see tighter, smoother skin.
What Are The Benefits of Exilis?
In the world of medical aesthetics, there are many different body sculpting methods to choose from. Exilis, however, has a uniquely appealing set of advantages:
- Low risk, non-invasive procedure
- Treats many different areas of the body
- Removes stubborn pockets of fat
- Tightens and smooths skin
- Stimulates collagen regrowth
- Reduces cellulite
- High rate of satisfaction
- Quick and painless
- No recovery time needed
- Long-lasting results
Does Exilis Hurt?
No! Exilis is a painless procedure that requires no pain medication or numbing agents. When the treatment is being given, it feels as though a warm roller ball is gliding over the skin’s surface.
How Long Does Exilis Treatment Take?
It takes about 20 to 30 minutes for treatment to be completed in each area.
How Many Exilis Treatments Are Recommended?
Four to six sessions are recommended, although this may vary depending on whether the patient is receiving fat removal, skin tightening, or both. It is best to wait between two to four weeks in between each session for optimal results.
Is Exilis Right For Me?
Exilis body sculpting is a terrific option for anyone looking for mild body sculpting and/or skin tightening without surgery. Patients who have good skin elasticity tend to respond more quickly to Exilis treatment. Those with low skin elasticity may experience less dramatic results or require more sessions.
It is also worth noting that Exilis works best on small surface areas. The most common areas of the body treated with Exilis are the:
- Neck
- Arms
- Abdomen
- Knees
- Thighs
If you are unsure whether or not Exilis is the right course of treatment for you, contact Dr. James Cardi. He will be happy to answer questions and make personal recommendations.
How Soon Can I Expect Results From Exilis?
Exilis takes some time to yield results, as it works by stimulating the growth of collagen. Most patients can see results anywhere from several weeks to several months. Follow-up sessions are recommended every six months to one year, although this varies greatly depending on the patient.
