What is Exilis treatment?
Exilis is a skin tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency energy. It can firm the skin, greatly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face caused by skin laxity. Additionally, it can tighten areas of concern such as the jowls, which can become more prominent with age.How it Exilis performed?
Patients relax in the treatment chair at the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology while we perform the treatment. A special device is used on the face to emit radiofrequency energy. While the results are not immediate, they occur over several weeks, during which the body naturally produces more collagen and elastin. This contracts the skin tissues. Additionally, Exilis can be used to target areas of fat cells that are troublesome for body contours, though treatment is most commonly used in the facial are and neck. A series of 4-6 treatments are needed to get desired results.Who is a candidate for Exilis treatment?
Most patients are appropriate candidates for Exilis services. Dr. Mary Lupo encourages patients to book a consultation appointment and initial evaluation with her team to determine if Exilis can help with their specific problem areas. Exilis is an aesthetic treatment that can be used for patients with aging skin who are interested in a less invasive option that traditional plastic surgeries such as facelifts.

Is Exilis a safe treatment for patients in New Orleans, LA?
Yes! Exilis is a modern treatment that has been evaluated and cleared by the Food and Drug Administration for safely targeting areas of skin laxity. There is another hand piece that destroys fat cells. It can be used on the face or body, depending on the specific needs of the patient. Patients who choose to use Exilis on the body will have the opportunity to improve contours, specifically in the areas of the thighs and midsection. Fat cells are destroyed and naturally flushed from the body, resulting in better contours that may not have been responsive to diet and exercise.How many times do I need to undergo treatment?
The number of treatments necessary will depend on the area being treated and how well the body responds to the treatment. Most patients will benefit from several treatments spaced weeks apart.
Is skin tightening with Exilis permanent?
The results of Exilis can last a lifetime. Studies continue to show that years after treatment, patients still enjoy their results. However, you cannot completely stop the signs of aging, so patients should consider periodic visits to their dermatologist to address new skin laxity that develops with the natural loss of collagen and elastin.
