What is Exilis™?
Exilis™ is a non-invasive radio frequency (RF) device designed to focus varying depths of heat to customize treatment for skin tightening, fat reduction or both. 

How does Exilis™ work?
RF technology works by delivering an electrical current into the skin. Heat is generated due to the resistance of the skin to the RF current.  Exilis™ has an exclusive Energy Flow Control (EFC) system that controls the energy flow and automatically eliminates energy peaks ensuring uniform energy distribution. 

Exilis™ for Non-Invasive Skin Tightening
Heat induces shrinkage of existing collagen and stimulation of the cells to generate new collagen.  Exilis™ is FDA approved for the non-invasive treatment of wrinkles and is a good option for facial and neck tightening.

Exilis™ for Non-Invasive Body Contouring
Heat generated in the deeper fat layers of tissue causes the release of liquefied fat from the fat cells, thus shrinking the fat cells.  This RF process leads to circumference reduction and improvement in the appearance of cellulite.

How many treatments do I need? 
Exilis™ treatments are recommended in packages of 4 to 6 treatments to achieve the best effect.  Each treatment is a quick 30- to 45-minute visit, scheduled 7–14 days apart, and there is no downtime following the procedure.

When will I see results?
Results are seen incrementally and are long lasting.  Maximum results are seen at three months post series.

What areas can be treated?
Commonly treated areas are the lower face, neck, jowls, eyes, décolletage, abdomen, knees, arms, buttocks and thighs.

At The American Academy of Dermatology's annual meeting February 2011 in New Orleans, Dr. Cox provided an interview about  Exilis™ for an article in American Health & Beauty. 

Dr. Sue Ellen Cox speaks about the Exilis monopolar radio frequency treatment for non-invasive body contouring. As seen on The View and The Today  Show: Kathie Lee & Hoda, called The Belly Fat Melting Procedure!
