Cellulite treatments like exilis work by employing the effective combination of radiofrequency energy (radio waves) and oscillating mechanical waves. The device employs controlled tissue heating via uniform molecule excitation hence, rattling out the fat lobules from their fibrous cage or where these fats are deposited and stored. The radiofrequency heat then, in turn melt them by increasing the metabolic activity which finally shrinks the size of the fat cells.
To be able to prevent damage or burning of nearby tissues, the hand piece emitting the RF energy has an installed cooling device which simultaneously works during the entire procedure. At Cosmetic Laser Dermatology in San Diego, we are able to use the Exilis to target the arms, neck, chin, abdomen, and legs/thighs. Plus, most Exilis procedures are performed by the doctors themselves, rather than a nurse or PA.
FAQs
Q: Is Exilis Effective?
Perhaps, the primary yardstick to measure the effectiveness of this new medical device is on the fat amounts or levels that it eventually reduces or eliminates. According to the proponents of this technology, conventional and other bipolar radio frequency device would provide cellulite reduction to patients at around 2 to 4 millimeters. Results are normally visible after the 2nd or 3rd treatment.
