TIME AND GRAVITY BOTH DO A NUMBER ON OUR SKIN AS WE AGE. IT BEGINS TO SAG AND WRINKLE FROM LOSS OF COLLAGEN AND POCKETS OF FAT START TO FORM WHERE THEY WEREN’T BEFORE. BECAUSE OF THESE DETERIORATING CONDITIONS, WE MAY SEEK OUT SKIN TIGHTENING OR FAT REDUCTION TREATMENTS TO RECLAIM, OR AT LEAST TRY TO REVISIT OUR ONCE YOUTHFUL APPEARANCES. TWO PROCEDURES FOR BOOSTING COLLAGEN PRODUCTION ARE AVAILABLE AT NEAMAN MEDISPA TO HELP TIGHTEN AND LIFT THE SKIN WITHOUT RESORTING TO SURGERY.
Exilis and Ultherapy For Fat Pockets
While both procedures are minimally invasive, unlike surgery, and are less expensive that going under the knife, they operate under two different mechanisms. Exilis works with radio waves and Ultherapy uses ultrasound. Both offer almost no downtime and quick recovery, and results can be noticeable in as little as a few weeks. The benefits of each treatment are visible after several months, so they both offer a subtle and natural transition between pre-treatment and post-treatment results. Both treatments may require retreatments in several years.
Differences Between Fat Reduction Procedures
Here are a few key differences between Exilis and Ultherapy.
- While Exilis is FDA approved for treating areas on the body such as the stomach pooch and love handles, Ultherapy is only approved for eyebrows, the neck and chin, and the neck and chest areas (décolletage).
- Exilis is not only used for skin tightening and smoothing, but it is also for reducing fat deposits. Ultherapy has not been used for minimizing fat.
- While both procedures can be uncomfortable, most patients declare that Ultherapy is the more painful of the two. Some physicians offer medication and anesthesia to reduce the pain.
- Ultherapy is typically more expensive, so Exilis is the better choice for patients on a budget. However, if you require multiple Exilis treatments, the costs begin to be similar.
