ULTRASOUND
Ultrasound waves pass through tissues causing the molecules to oscillate (move quickly). This produces thermal energy. Targeted energy penetrating into the deeper layers of the skin affects the fibroblasts, greatly improving collagen production as well as breaking up fatty deposits. Blood flow is increased in the tissues, as ultrasound combines with radio frequency energy to increase conductivity in the tissues and provide balanced heating.
RADIOFREQUENCY
Radiofrequency (RF) generates heat as a result of different tissue resistance to electromagnetic current. Heat is produced when body tissues resist RF waves. Fat tissues have high resistance, which generates more heat. Hence, the subcutaneous fat layer generates more energy, making it possible for heat to penetrate deeper layers. Exilis Ultra 360 is able to treat fat cells through apoptosis at a temperature of 40 – 42°C, while preserving the epidermis simultaneously. This allows our technicians to contour areas with fat as well as lift skin by operating at different temperatures and depths.
BEFORE
Uneven skin appearance caused by loss of collagen due to the natural aging process.
DURING
360 Volumetric Heating disrupts old collagen fibers and initiates the process of new collagen formation.
AFTER
EXILIS ULTRA 360 treatment leads to deep tissue and skin improvement.
THE AGING FACE
On average women will incur 80% of sun damage before turning 20.
At 20, collagen production will decline by 1% per year and skin thickness will decrease roughly 7% every 10 years.
20’s
• Facial aging begins
• Body stops producing ceramides, the molecules that surround and nourish skin cells, and this results in dryer, flakier skin
• Skin firmness begins to decrease
• Wrinkles, blemishes, and sunspots may also start to appear
Collagen Production -10%
Skin Thickness -7%
30’s
• Collagen and elastic fibers begin to break down in the face
• First signs of aging are visibly noticeable
• Fine lines and wrinkles become more and more apparent – forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s-feet, smile lines, lip lines, marionette lines and sagging
• Inevitable forces of gravity are subtly emerging
Collagen Production -20%
Skin Thickness -14%
40’s
• Skin is losing volume
• Wrinkles and lines can start to appear deeper and more permanent
Collagen Production -30%
Skin Thickness -21%
50+
• Once firm skin now sags
• Wrinkles tend to set in as permanent fixtures
Collagen Production -40%
Skin Thickness -28%
REAL PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
Frequently Asked Questions:
Most patients describe the sensation of the therapy as being comparable to that of a pain-free, hot stone massage. The treatment is performed in a lying position so you can easily relax during the procedure.
We will tailor the best treatment plan based on your individual needs. Most patients undergo between 2 to 4 treatments scheduled on a weekly basis. Each treatment of a specific body part usually takes between 15 to 30 minutes. This can vary depending on the treated area and other factors.
Depending on the treated area, you may see visible improvements after a single session. Results will typically improve over a 3-month follow up period.
The whole BTL EXILIS procedure is non-invasive and requires no recovery time. You can easily have the treatment during your lunch break and return to your daily activities immediately.
