At The Dermatology, Laser & Vein Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, we’re proud to offer Exilis Ultra—an advanced, non-surgical skin tightening and body contouring solution for patients who want visible improvement without downtime or invasive procedures. Whether you’re dealing with loose skin, early signs of aging, or stubborn areas of fat, Exilis Ultra offers a versatile and comfortable way to refresh your appearance from head to toe.
Before booking your treatment, it’s important to understand how Exilis Ultra works, who makes the best candidate, and what results you can realistically expect. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about this innovative aesthetic technology.
What Is Exilis Ultra?
Exilis Ultra is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment that combines two powerful technologies:
- Radiofrequency (RF) to heat the deeper layers of the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin
- Ultrasound energy to help deliver that heat more efficiently and penetrate deeper into tissue
The result? Tighter skin, improved texture, and modest fat reduction—all in a treatment that feels like a warm massage.
It is FDA-cleared for:
- Non-surgical skin tightening
- Wrinkle reduction
- Temporary fat reduction
- Facial rejuvenation
- Body sculpting
Exilis Ultra can be used on virtually any part of the face or body, making it one of the most versatile options available in non-invasive aesthetic medicine.
How Exilis Ultra Works
Exilis Ultra uses focused RF energy and ultrasound waves to gently heat the dermis (skin) and subdermal tissue (fat and collagen layers) to therapeutic temperatures. This heat stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which improves skin structure, firmness, and elasticity over time.
In areas with excess fat, the heat also causes apoptosis of fat cells (controlled cell death), which are then gradually eliminated through the body’s natural processes.
Treatment Effects:
- Tightens loose or sagging skin
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Contours body areas by reducing stubborn fat
- Improves skin tone, texture, and elasticity
Who Is a Good Candidate for Exilis Ultra?
Exilis Ultra is ideal for individuals who:
- Want to tighten mild to moderate loose skin on the face or body
- Are noticing early signs of aging but are not ready for surgery
- Have stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise
- Prefer non-invasive treatments with no downtime
- Are seeking preventative care to maintain youthful skin
It’s also an excellent option for people who are not good candidates for more aggressive procedures due to medical conditions or personal preference.
Common Treatment Areas:
- Face and jawline
- Neck and décolletage
- Abdomen
- Flanks and love handles
- Thighs
- Arms
- Knees
- Buttocks
Who Should Avoid Exilis Ultra?
While Exilis Ultra is safe for most skin types and tones, it may not be ideal for:
- Patients with pacemakers or implanted electronic devices
- Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals
- Patients with open wounds or skin infections at the treatment site
- Those with advanced skin laxity that may require surgical intervention
A consultation at our Cincinnati office is the best way to determine your candidacy and design a treatment plan tailored to your goals.
What Does the Treatment Feel Like?
Most patients describe Exilis Ultra treatments as painless and relaxing—similar to a warm stone massage. The handpiece is moved over the skin in smooth, controlled motions while maintaining a comfortable temperature. You may feel warmth during the session, but the built-in cooling system ensures safety and comfort throughout.
There is no anesthesia required and no downtime afterward.
What Results Can You Expect?
Results with Exilis Ultra are progressive and build over time. After completing a treatment series, patients typically see:
- Improved skin laxity
- Smoother skin texture
- Mild fat reduction in treated areas
- Lifted and firmer facial contours
Because Exilis Ultra works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen and fat-eliminating processes, full results can take 8 to 12 weeks to appear.
How Many Sessions Will You Need?
Most patients need 4 to 6 treatment sessions, spaced 7 to 14 days apart, for optimal results. The exact number depends on your age, skin condition, treatment area, and desired outcome.
Maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months are recommended to keep your skin firm and results long-lasting.
Can Exilis Ultra Replace Surgery?
Exilis Ultra offers significant improvement for mild to moderate concerns, but it is not a replacement for surgical procedures like facelift or tummy tuck when significant tissue laxity is present.
However, it’s a powerful option for:
- Patients not ready for surgery
- Individuals looking for preventative treatments
- Post-surgical patients who want to extend results
We often combine Exilis Ultra with other non-invasive treatments for even better outcomes.
