LIPOLIFT™ II - Exilis Therapy

Today's patients are more concerned about treating the early signs of aging and unwanted fat than ever before. Women and men alike are looking for faster, less invasive procedures with little, if any downtime that can reduce their wrinkles and improve their figure.

Our practice is pleased to announce that we now offer the latest advancement in nonsurgical, pain free therapy for the reduction of targeted fatty deposits, skin tightening, and sundamaged and/or wrinkles skin anywhere on the face and body.

Exilis is an FDA approved device that offers a non-surgical solution using radio frequency (RF) energy for fat reduction and tissue tightening anywhere on the body. The procedure uses safe radio waves to heat your skin and targeted fat cells. This thermal energy speeds up the metabolic activity of the fat cells causing them to shrinks. At the same time it stimulates and strengthens the collagen network which improves skin laxity texture.

Exilis is one of the first systems that promises actual circumferential reduction. By combining RF energy with cooling, we can treat all areas of the body where stubborn fatty deposits persist or tighter, firmer skin is desired. While the RF is heating the dermis, patients remain relaxed and comfortable as the system's digital thermometer provides real-time monitoring and constant feedback as to the skin's temperature, thus ensuring a comfortable and safe treatment.

What areas respond to Exilis Therapy?
The most frequent areas treated with Exilis Therapy in men are the love handles, breasts, abdomen, face, jowls, and neckline. In women they include: face, jowls, neck, decolletage, arms, bra fat, thighs, hips, breasts, buttocks, stomach, and knees.

How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments for you depends on the condition and the area to be treated as well as your desired results. During your consultation, we will advises you as to the number and frequency of treatments that are recommended to achieve your desired results. Keep in mind that the results from Exilis Therapy are gradual and may take from 2-4 months to maximize the effects of the treatment.

What can I expect after treatment?
Following your Exilis Therapy you may notice some mild redness in the treatment area. This usually disappears in a few hours. You may resume normal activities immediately. Patients are also asked to increase water intake and to engage in light physical activity like walking to maximize cosmetic results.

Choosing Exilis Therapy
During your consultation, you will want to explain the level of skin improvement and shaping you hope to achieve with treatment. We will examine your skin and your medical history to determine if you are a good candidate for the Exilis Therapy. Together we will discuss your expectations and decide on the best treatment for you. Photographs may be taken for reference to compare your results.

The Procedure
During your procedure the Exilis computer-controlled delivery device is guided over the treatment area. You will feel a deep heating sensation as the Exilis RF energy is delivered to the deeper layers of the skin. The therapy causes the collagen support tissues to remodel and tighten. The underside of the applicator provides cooling to your skin's surface, and the built-in thermometer lets the operator maintain constant temperatures keeping you more comfortable during the treatment.

Exilis therapy s performed in our office. The procedure takes from 15-30 minutes depending upon the size of the area.

Lipolift III - Laser Lipolysis

Lipolift III, known as the Laser Lipolysis (laser-assisted liposuction) offers a minimally invasive body sculpting solution that safely "melts" fat away with less pain, less downtime and consistent aesthetic results. The laser is slipped through a very small hole in the skin and passed back and forth while it slowly dissolves the fat and destroys the fat cells.

Dr. Darm of Aesthetic Medicine in Portland, Oregon pioneered his trademark procedure – the Lipolift – for the treatment of unwanted fat and cellulite.

The melted fat is then gently sucked out through a small cannula. Treatment areas include abdomen, flanks, back, arms, neck, and thighs.

The SlimLipo Body Sculpting Laser from Palomar is FDA cleared for laser-assisted lipolysis and it is the first system optimized specifically for this application.

As we age the skin, collagen, and elastin can be damaged by the sun, smoking, free radicals and loss of natural hormones. The LaserLift™ can help to reverse these changes and create a smoother skin texture, smaller pore size, reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. With minimal pain and no downtime it is our best alternative to plastic surgery. The LaserLift™ results in a natural look and makes our patients look years younger.

FAQ’S
Comparison of LASERLIFT™ to other Beauty Treatments:

Can non-laser procedures or topical beauty products compete with lasers in eradicating wrinkles? No. neither can penetrate as deeply and are not as effective as laser therapy.

How does microdermabrasion compare to laser?

While microdermabrasion is rejuvenating and can create a temporary glow, the results last less than a week. Results from the LaserLift™ can last several years.

What about Invasive Lasers and deep chemical peels?
The pain, discomfort, downtime and potential for scarring makes those procedures obsolete. LaserLift™ has no downtime. minimal pain, and - with minimal risk - lasting results.

How does Plastic Surgery compare to the LaserLift™
With LaserLift™ there is no pain and no downtime. You can achieve a more natural look non-invasively with LaserLift™. It is far less expensive and can be repeated as often as desired.
