When patients are seeking fat reduction but do not want to undergo plastic surgery, they may want to work with a Board-certified dermatologist in the Walnut Creek, CA area who provides Exilis Elite services. Exilis Elite is an innovative treatment that is used by Dr. M. Christine Lee and her staff to provide effective fat reduction treatments using radiofrequency energy.
Understanding Exilis Elite
Exilis Elite is a revolutionary way for patients to melt
away fat in stubborn areas to improve their body contours. At The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute,
Dr. M. Christine Lee provides this treatment as an alternative to
surgical interventions. Exilis Elite uses a device that delivers
radiofrequency energy right through the skin and into the areas of fat,
destroying them and initiating the skin’s natural collagen production.
This treatment will reduce fat and improve the contours of the body over
the course of time, ensuring natural enhancement.
What can I expect from Exilis Elite treatments?
First, patients talk with Dr. M. Christine Lee during their
initial consultation appointment to decide if Exilis Elite is
appropriate for their specific needs. It is essential that patients
understand that Exilis Elite is not a weight loss treatment. Instead, it
is dedicated to fat removal to improve body contours. When patients
have decided they are right for treatment, they book their sessions.
Patients relax in the treatment chair or on a table, depending on the
area being addressed, to ensure it is easily accessible by the doctor.
Then, the device is utilized in the treatment area. Most patients
experience a warming sensation, but it is comfortable and well-received
by almost all our patients. It is not described by patients as painful,
but rather relaxing. The time needed for treatment will depend on the
size of the area being addressed, most patients will be able to enjoy
treatments in less than an hour.
Aftercare and results of Exilis Elite
Once patients have had their treatment, they are able to
return to their day with no further interruptions. This is because there
is no:
- Injections
- Anesthetics
- Pain
- Bruising
- Bleeding
Patients should understand the results are
not immediate. Instead, the body transforms over the course of several
weeks, and patients will need to have multiple treatments to get the
best results. This treatment requires fewer sessions than other
technologically advanced devices found in the cosmetic treatment market
today. Most patients will need to book anywhere from four to six
treatments, spaced at least two weeks apart to achieve the results they
desire.
Where can Exilis Elite be used?
There are many parts of the body that can be treated with Exilis Elite
that our patients are not even aware can be improved! The most common
areas where patients request this treatment include the:
- Bra rolls
- “Love handles”
- Buttocks
- Male breasts
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- “Saddle bags”
- Knees
Is Exilis Elite right for me?
Today’s technology allows patients to achieve body contouring and fat removal results that may have never been thought possible without liposuction or other plastic surgery treatments. Patients who are interested in Exilis Elite will be evaluated to determine if they are appropriate candidates. The best candidates are patients who are within their ideal body weight, want to address a specific region of unwanted fat, and who already lead a healthy lifestyle by eating right and staying active. This treatment is not a weight loss solution, and patients who are overweight or obese may not be good candidates for this procedure. Larger areas of fat may still require plastic surgery, which is why an evaluation appointment is recommended before booking treatment sessions at The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute.
The best way to determine if you are a candidate for Exilis Elite is to work with our dedicated professional in Walnut Creek, CA who can provide you with the solutions you need. We encourage patients in the community to contact Dr. M. Christine Lee and the team at The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute to learn more.
