The BTL Exilis treatment is a non-invasive and non-surgical procedure that is designed to reduce body fat and tighten skin almost anywhere on the body. It uses a specialised combination of both ultrasound and radio frequency energies to target fat cells, tighten skin and renew/enhance the production of collagen beneath the skin. As a treatment, it’s considered to be painless and is capable of providing incredible results, but before booking in for a treatment you need to make sure you ask the right questions first. We’re here to help answer those and put your mind at ease before you make your decision.
What areas of the body can be treated?
One of the biggest positives of the BTL Exilis is the range of areas that it is capable of treating, and the fact that it isn’t limited to just being used as a treatment for the body or a treatment for the face. The areas that can be treated include;
- Skin around the eyes
- Cheeks
- Jowls
- Skin beneath the chin
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Arms
- Hands
- Abdomen
- Hips
- Back
- Buttocks
- Thighs
- Knees
How many treatments will I need to see results?
This depends on the area being treated and the exact results that are desired, but as a general rule of thumb you can expect to need to undergo between 4 and 6 treatments to achieve your desired results. Each treatment is scheduled roughly 1 to 2 weeks apart to allow time for any results to show through and for the tissues to recover.
How long do BTL Exilis results last?
While the treatment isn’t capable of completely stopping the appearance of fat and the signs of ageing to the skin, it is capable of providing some incredible results. On average, the results of the treatment (and the enhanced production of collagen) generally last between 8 to 12 months after the final treatment in the course. That’s not to say that after that point you will instantly go back to how your body was before, but if you want to maintain the results then you will either need to have a complete lifestyle change or book yourself in for a follow up “top-up” treatment once a year to keep seeing the benefits of the BTL Exilis treatment.
What are the pro’s and con’s of the treatment?
The major benefits associated with the BTL Exilis treatment are related to the incredible results that it provides, it stimulates the production of collagen within the skin which is responsible for tightening the skin as well as reducing the appearance of wrinkles and adding volume. Without focusing just on the results, the other benefits of the treatment include;
- It’s considered to be a pain free treatment
- It doesn’t require any special medication post treatment
- There is no downtime associated with the treatment
- There is no aftercare needed
- Treatment sessions are approximately 20-30 minutes long
- It’s capable of treating a number of different areas of the body using the same device
The list of negatives on the other hand is much shorter. While the BTL Exilis treatment is considered to be completely safe, it is possible that depending on the individual patient they may feel some minor discomfort that is associated with the heating effect of the treatment, but this fades quickly. You may also experience some slight tenderness in the treatment area afterwards, but again this should subside fairly quickly.
