Question 1

What is Exilis Ultra 360?

Accepted Answer

Exilis Ultra 360 is a BTL device that delivers monopolar radiofrequency and ultrasound energy together, with built-in cooling and real-time temperature monitoring so the provider can hold tissue in the intended therapeutic range. It is FDA-cleared and used non-invasively on both the face and the body to firm loose skin and support collagen and elastin production.

Question 2

Where is it used?

Accepted Answer

On the face it is commonly used around the jawline, neck and under the chin, and on the periorbital area. On the body the usual requests are the abdomen, arms, inner thighs and above the knees. It also addresses stubborn fat and the appearance of cellulite in treated areas.

Question 3

What does a session feel like?

Accepted Answer

Warm, like a hot-stone massage, as the handpiece moves continuously over the area. The cooling is what makes that comfortable. No numbing is needed, there are no needles and no incisions. Sessions typically run 20 to 40 minutes depending on the area.

Question 4

Is there downtime?

Accepted Answer

No. Temporary pinkness or warmth can linger for a short while, and you can return to normal activity, work and exercise the same day.

Question 5

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

It is designed as a series — commonly around four sessions spaced roughly a week or two apart — with a plan set after your provider assesses the area. Collagen remodeling continues for weeks afterward, so the visible change keeps developing after the final session. Individual results vary.

Question 6

How is it different from XERF?

Accepted Answer

Both use radiofrequency, but they are built for different jobs. XERF is a dual-frequency monopolar system with selectable depths and intensities, which lets a provider target laxity aggressively and precisely — it is our lead device for skin tightening. Exilis Ultra 360 pairs radiofrequency with ultrasound in a gentler, massage-like series, which makes it a good fit for maintenance, for smaller or more delicate areas, and for people who prefer a low-intensity approach.

Question 7

So which one should I start with?

Accepted Answer

If laxity is your main concern and you want the strongest non-surgical option we offer, start with XERF. If you want a comfortable series, are treating a smaller area, or are maintaining a result you already have, Exilis is the better fit. Plenty of people use both — XERF to make the change, Exilis to hold it.

Question 8

Will it replace a surgical lift?

Accepted Answer

No. Non-invasive radiofrequency firms and supports skin quality; it does not remove tissue. If your laxity is beyond what energy-based treatment can address, we will tell you that rather than sell you a series that will not satisfy you.

Question 9

Who is not a candidate?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy, a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, metal implants in the treatment area, active infection or open skin, and certain medical conditions require review or exclusion. Bring your medical history to the consultation.
