What are the pros and cons of non-invasive skin tightening in New Orleans dermatology practice?, check what Dr. Lupo Mary at Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology said
Patients in and around the area of New Orleans, LA who are faced with sagging, crepey skin on the body and face are encouraged to take the time to visit Dr. Mary Lupo to learn about the advantages of using Exilis skin tightening services in our advanced dermatology practice.

What is Exilis?

Exilis is a radiofrequency device that is used to tighten the skin by stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. By doing this, patients will notice improvement in certain areas of the face and body where skin laxity has been a concern. While this does not happen immediately in the way traditional plastic surgery does, the results occur gradually over time, contributing to a more natural change. Friends and family may realize that an individual looks different – in a good way – but cannot pinpoint the exact change. This is a highly desirable way of obtaining a more youthful look, a way that does not make it obvious that a patient has had “work done.”

What are the pros and cons of Exilis skin tightening?

There is a variety of advantages to skin tightening services available at our practice. Our staff, including Board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Mary Lupo, can assist patients in achieving more youthful skin and a beautiful appearance with Exilis. Exilis is:
  • Affordable
  • Effective
  • Modern
  • Non-invasive
  • Cleared by the FDA
  • Fast

Who is a candidate for Exilis skin tightening?

Dr. Lupo Mary at Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology explains What are the pros and cons of Exilis skin tightening Skin tightening is a very personal decision, and there is no “one size fits all” treatment for patients who have similar skin concerns. Dr. Mary Lupo suggests patients schedule an initial consultation appointment and evaluation during which the skin is examined. Patients can talk about what makes them self-conscious about their appearance and then decide if Exilis skin tightening is the best solution. Some patients may do better with laser therapies or have a condition that is severe enough that surgical intervention is the only option for treatment. Discussing the patient’s needs and the available treatments is the best way to determine candidacy for this or other cosmetic services.

How long will the results last?

Because Exilis skin tightening stimulates the body’s natural collagen and elastin production, which may have been reduced over the years, many patients will see the changes and enjoy them for several years. However, some patients like to visit our practice regularly for treatments to continually improve the skin and essentially turn back the hands of time on their appearance. Dr. Mary Lupo can evaluate patients and discuss with them how often they can undergo treatments to achieve the specific results the desire. Many of our patients find that just one treatment makes a dramatic difference that they want to enjoy for long as possible! We can turn the clock back, but it keeps ticking, so skin care is essential for longer results.

Does skin tightening damage the skin?

Because Exilis delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the skin, many patients think that the upper layer of the skin can become damaged. This is not true. The device administers RF energy deep down and can do so without interrupting or harming the upper layer of the epidermis.

Can I undergo other services at the same time?

Dr. Lupo Mary at Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology explains whether you can undergo other services at the same time Exilis can be used as a treatment in conjunction with other services which may include cosmetic injectables, microdermabrasion, or chemical peels. Many patients come to Dr. Mary Lupo to have her develop a treatment plan that works best in targeting all their specific areas of concern quickly and easily.
