At which Skin Renewal clinics is the Exilis Elite treatments available?
The Exilis Elite treatments are available in Johannesburg at the Fourways, Parkhurst, Morningside and Illovo clinics, Pretoria at Brooklyn and in the Western Cape at Cape Quarter, Claremont, Paarl and Constantia.
What are the three "Go To" procedures in aesthetic medicine for skin tightening?
The three go to procedures are Thermage, Ulthera and Exilis Elite. The Exilis Elite is newer, more affordable and most promising of the three and early data suggests it may be slightly more effective. Exilis is the most comfortable to have done. Ulthera tends to be the most painful and Thermage is the most expensive of all 3 treatments for a similar result.
What is Exilis Elite for skin tightening?
Exilis is the only monopolar RF (Radiofrequency) system to incorporate ultrasonic energy in one hand piece. Exilis causes both shrinking of loose tissue immediately, as well as long term collagen production that lifts and tightens loose skin over time. It is very useful in many areas such as jowls, neck, brows and especially the abdomen.
What is Exilis Elite for fat reduction?
The mechanical effect of ultrasound helps create separation of the fat cells clusters, allowing more efficient RF thermal delivery to adipose tissue. Exilis is the only monopolar RF (Radiofrequency) system to incorporate ultrasonic energy in one hand piece.
How does Exilis Elite work?
Exilis Elite features a dynamic monopolar RF delivery system with embedded Energy Flow Control (EFC) technology to uniformly heat tissue at therapeutic skin levels. It also offers built-in temperature sensors in an attempt to reduce the energy to levels that will effect therapeutic heating without causing excess pain. The Exilis is the most promising of the new RF devices and gives the best tightening results after five or six sessions.
The Exilis uses the same technology as Thermage, a powerful mono polar Radiofrequency. Exilis also includes ultra sound technology to maximize treatments.
How can monopolar radiofrequency be delivered to tighten skin?
There are currently two methods of radiofrequency delivery to skin: Dynamic (the Elite) and Static / Stamp (Thermage) delivery systems.
Dynamic Monopolar Delivery (Elite): At Skin & Body Renewal we have the Exilis Elite which uses a monopolar RF that is delivered dynamically in a continuous pulse with constant rotation and movement of the handpiece over a specified area of laxity or fatty adiposity. The problem area can be targeted in a few minutes to reach an optimal temperature. This optimal temperature is then kept for approx 6 to 8 minutes period of time to maximize results. The surface temperature measurements are continuously monitored due to Energy Flow Control (EFC) technology which uniformly heats tissue at therapeutic skin levels. This ensures that adverse side effects such as burns are eliminated. In addition a measurement tool is built into the Elite handpiece. Dynamic devices such as Exilis are quicker to reach optimal temperature (a few minutes) unlike stamped devices such as Thermage which can take hours.
Stamped / Static Monopolar Delivery (Thermage): Other Monopolar devices such as Thermage deliver radiofrequency in a stamped mode which consists of a short cycle of 1-2 seconds while the handpiece is held in place (Thermage Solta Medical) over a designated area. In the static stamped method, a single pulse is then delivered; the handpiece is then moved to an adjacent marked area and fired again. This is performed for hundreds of pulses until a premarked area is treated. Treatments with Thermage can take up to 3 hours as each pulse is measured for temperature while spray cooling is applied so the skin temperature does not exceed 45.
To summarise the differences between these two systems:
Exilis has Monopolar energy flow control combined with ultrasonic energy delivered in a dynamic method, a safety system, a built-in thermometer for total therapy control (no risk of overheating) with optimal temperatures been reached in minutes.
Thermage has Monopolar energy which is delivered in a stamp mode with single firing until hundreds of pulses are delivered which can take up to 3 hours for a treatment.
How else does Thermage compare to the Exilis Elite?
Thermage, with in it's most recent update, the CPT cooling tip probably works as well as the Exilis but the two treatments have the following similarities and differences:

How does the Exilis Elite compare to the Ulthera skin tightening?
All three devices (Thermage, Ulthera and Exilis) work best on people ages 25-50-ish who have mild to moderate skin laxity. Ultherapy / Ulthera in it's most recent update, probably works as well as the Exilis but has the following differences:
What areas can be treated on the face and neck?
Here are some of the most common Exilis Elite treatment areas:
How does Radiofrequency work to dissolve fat and tighten skin?
The medical use of RF is based on an oscillating electrical current that forces collisions between charged molecules and ions, which are then transformed into heat. Water is the main target for this process. As a result, RF heating occurs irrespective of skin type and is dependent on heating of water.
What clinical effects does RF have in the skin?
RF-generated tissue heating has different biological and clinical effects, depending on the depth of tissue targeted, the frequency used, and the specific cooling of the dermis and epidermis.
The depth of penetration of RF energy is inversely proportional to the frequency. Consequently, lower frequencies of RF, such as Exilis, are able to penetrate more deeply (up to 2.5 cm) and heat large volumes of subcutaneous adipose tissue, the dreaded resistant fat.
What happens when radiofrequency is applied to the skin?
What is the difference between Monopolar vs. Bipolar Radiofrequency (RF)?
RF devices tend to market themselves as monopolar, bipolar or multipolar RF devices. Monopolar energy (such as Exilis) travels from the handpiece to a distant pole and requires a grounding electrode that is applied to the body. It penetrates up to 25mm, affecting both skin and subcutaneous fat.
Bipolar energy only travels from one pole on a handpiece to another, penetrating only 2mm to 4mm into the skin.
“Both work by causing bulk heating of the deep dermis,” says James Muze, vice president of development at Syneron Candela. “Bipolar uses symmetrical electrodes that can control the distribution of energy between the two and, more specifically, confine it to dermal structures when appropriate.
Tripolar is a marketing term, not a scientific term. Devices with three or more poles use bipolar electrodes that switch between active pairs and inactive pairs.The tripolar system has three electrodes: one acts as a positive electrode while the other two act as negative electrodes creating two pairs of a bipolar system.
Does Exilis produce new collagen and elastin?
Dr. McDaniel recently completed one arm of a study on the Exilis Elite’s 90 Watt applicator, which involved 12 female volunteers with mild-to-moderate laxity of the skin around the submental region, mid and lower face. “All subjects showed at least mild improvement in skin laxity at the three-month point,” he noted. In a study done 3 months after Exilis treatments, skin biopsies taken from underneath the chin in subjects demonstrated new collagen formation in all biopsies. In addition, an increase in dermal elastin fibers was also observed in the biopsies.
What depths do Radiofrequency (Thermage/ Exilis) and Ultrasound (Ulthera) go to?
Monoploar Radiofrequency usually penetrated more than 3 mm but in the Exilis, up to 2.5 cm can be reached due to built in Energy Flow Control (EFC) technology and built in cooling. In fact, if one cools at 10 degrees C, the heating can go up to 2.5 cm due to advanced layered cooling. Layering simply means that energy is delivered to the various depths in the tissue. The applicator is designed so that you can make changes to the power and cooling right on the display. Changing the cooling during treatment allows you to treat deep tissue for fat reduction all the way up to the superficial layer for skin tightening and all in one treatment session.
For Thermage, the monopolar Radiofrequency only goes up to a depth of 7mm because it doesn't have Layering Advanced Cooling.
The Ulthera treatment only goes up to a maximum of 4.5mm.
Does the Exilis have FDA approval?
The FDA approved the Exilis in 2013. While the primary focus of all of this devices is body contouring and fat reduction, the Exilis also has a skin-tightening component appropriate for the face, neck and body.
What awards has the Exilis won?
Exilis is a WINNER of three INTERNATIONAL AWARDS in 2013 for skin-tightening.
1. My Face My Body award for best skin tightening device November 2013. Thousands of NewBeauty Magazine readers and the industry's leading beauty experts.
2. Exilis won the award for Best Skin Tightening Product at The Aesthetic Show in Las Vegas in 2012.
3. IESG award in 2014 for best skincare equipment.
New Beauty editorial team cast their votes in the 2013 New Beauty Awards. In the category of “The Best Skin Tightener” Exilis Elite ranked higher than any other product. Reasons this procedure is loved by the masses include:
What makes the Exilis treatment such a comfortable and safe experience?
The Exilis has a Revolutionary built in cooling tip and heat sensor monitor which ensures that the optimal heat is delivered as painlessly as possible and as safely as possible. This ensures that the treatment switches off immediately should it be inadvertently lifted during the treatment session. This usually happens when treating uneven and curved surfaces such as the jawline area. The Cooling tip confuses the brain to not recognize pain signals as the epidermis is continually cooled.
No pain medication or anesthesia is needed during the session.
Neck and jowl fat can be treated at the same time as the skin tightening procedure. The fat reducing head is used on the double chin area for fat reduction as well as skin tightening.
What is the price of the Exilis per treatment for facial areas?
As part of a Face rejuvenation package:
Eyes or Forehead 12 mins: R 1550 per session; Double pass 20 minutes: R 2450
Jowls & upper neck 20 mins: R 2450 per session; Double pass same session 40 mins: R 3650; 60 minutes: R 4850
Upper and lower neck 20 mins: R 2450 per session; Double pass same session 40 mins: R3650; 60 minutes: R4850
Fat Reducing Double Chin: 20 minutes includes Skin Tightening per treatment R 2450
Repeat every 3 to 4 weeks x 1 - 4 sessions depending on the amount of fat present
How many treatments does one need?
What we are currently recommending is one treatment every two to three weeks with a minimum of four treatments, and then we’re waiting approximately three months and, if need be, we do a follow-up treatment. A further 2 to 4 treatments can be done and then a maintenance treatments every 6 months.
Why should one have your skin tightening or fat reducing treatments such as Exilis at Skin, Body & Health Renewal?
Why would one choose an Exilis Elite fat reducing treatment over traditional liposuction / Laser Liposuction or Thermage CPT?
Exilis is an great solution for men and women who desire to tighten their skin on the body and the face, and rejuvenate their appearance. Exilis is actually one of the most successful non invasive treatments to traditional liposuction as the Exilis not only tightens skin but also reduces fat in the treatment area. Our doctors will ensure that you are a good candidate which means and that your weight is stable and that you are generally healthy. You should be able to maintain the results of an Exilis program if you eat healthily from that point on and also exercise regularly.
How does Exilis Elite create new Collagen Naturally?
Exilis relies on the body’s own regenerative process to stimulate the natural renewal of existing collagen and creation of new collagen. This results in an actual lift of skin overtime – and just better-fitting skin.
Many people notice an immediate effect following the treatment, but the ultimate lifting and toning takes place over 2-3 months, as tired collagen is renewed and replaced with new, stronger collagen. And, as collagen-building process continues, further improvements can even appear up to 6 months following a procedure!
What problems may be associated with excess fatty deposits?
Common and significant medical problems that patients with a double chin or excess fat on the abdomen present with are metabolic syndrome, diabetes, hypertension, hypothyroidism or sleep apnea, amongst others. We have numerous solutions to treat the aesthetic problem of excess fat but more importantly we have to exclude these medical conditions which are common in overweight or obese patients. A consultation with one of our experienced doctors at Skin, Body & Health Renewal will identify underlying medical problems and recommend aesthetic and medical solutions.
What REVIEWS of The Exilis Elite are there from experts overseas?
"It can be eloquently summed up that in my practice with 45 devices the only device that we required a duplicate to meet demand has been Exilis. Most of our patients (90%) have been thrilled with the results. Not getting this device in your practice would be the worst mistake anyone could make. What more can I say?" Dr. Robert Weiss. Associate Professor of Dermatology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Hunt Valley.

I have suffered with a dreaded double chin for most of my adult life. A few extra pounds later, this had worsened since loose skin had also set in. Dr Marilyn suggested that I do a few skin tightening and fat reduction treatments with Exilis before placing a few threads into the area. 2 months after my Exilis procedure, I had 10 threads inserted into my double chin area. The procedure took all of 5 minutes and I was left with mild bruising on my neck afterwards. Thank you Dr Marilyn for a great procedure and great advice.
The therapist at Parkhurst is an amazing therapist which also provides a wonderful service and is very professional.
The energy of the branch is so positive, it rubs off on clients and staff alike. There is such a positive vibe and it's clear that clients are returning because of that. It looks like a place where people want to come and work. Thank you!
My favourite beautician is at Parkhurst. She is superbly professional, but also warm, empathetic and engaging. Not to mention very good at her job! (That goes without saying!)
I have been coming to Skin Renewal in Parkhurst for a few years. The therapist has been my skincare consultant and has been absolutely phenomenal. She is a prefectionist who always puts her clients needs first and takes the time to make you feel comfortable and explaings everything to ensure that you don't have any anxiety. She is very knowledgeable and advises the best treatment for you. She listens to your needs and ahs a sparkling/charming personality. You will not go wrong with her!
I was so apprehensive to engage in any tightening and for other procedures. I was highly fortunate to have been recommended to a therapist at Parkhurst who is extremely professional and brilliant at what she does, empathetic and deeply impressive. I feel blessed to embark on my journey "back" to youth with her!
