Dr. Darm Exilis on Today Show by Exilis Day Medical Spa

Exilis is in the news again on the Today show with Kathie Lee. Kathie Lee shares her own personal success with Exilis laser therapy.

Dr. Darm announces that he is one of the West Coast's first provider of Exilis, the latest breakthrough device for non-surgical fat reduction. Exilis uses focused Radio Frequency RF technology to redefine appearances by reducing wrinkles, tightening skin and reshaping the body from head to toe.

Exilis is an FDA approved device that offers a non-surgical solution for fat reduction and tissue tightening anywhere on the body. The procedure uses controlled radio waves to heat a patient’s skin and target fat cells. Exilis’ thermal energy speeds up the metabolic activity of the fat cells causing them to shrink. The treatments also stimulate and strengthen the collagen network which can improve skin laxity and texture.

Exilis is one of the first systems that actually delivers circumferential reduction. By combining Radio Frequency (RF) energy with cooling, it 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, the system's digital thermometer provides real-time monitoring and constant feedback of the skin's temperature, thus ensuring a comfortable and safe treatment.

During each Exilis procedure a computer-controlled delivery device is guided over the treatment area. The therapy causes the collagen support tissues to remodel and tighten. Each treatment delivers gradual, yet measurable results. Most patients see best results from 2 - 4 treatments. While some patients have had mild redness and swelling, most diminished within a few minutes to an hour after completing the therapy.

Dr. Darm Rosacea Treatment Testimonial

Dr. Darm Rosacea Laser Treatment Testimonial

Our center has performed over 10,000 rosacea treatments. We have now added a 1064 laser to our protocol which has dramatically increased the efficacy of treatment sessions. Once the unsightly spider veins and small red bumps are removed, flair-ups are dramatically reduced. Flushing is harder to completely eliminate but can be significantly reduced. The treatment itself helps to smooth the skin and repair some of the damage caused by rosacea. Significant clearing takes 3-7 treatments but improvement is seen with each treatment. Occasionally, more difficult cases can take 10-15 treatments to clear. The treatments currently used are relatively painless with little or no downtime.

Touch up treatment will need to be performed periodically to keep the rosacea under control. Appointments are usually scheduled 2-4 weeks apart until the desired results are achieved. Patients have traveled from all over the world to have treatments performed by Dr. Darm at Aesthetic Medicine because of his success.

Dr. Darm Announces Exilis Body Shaping, the latest Breaktrough Device for Non Surgical Fat Reduction

Aesthetic Medicine announces a revolutionary new treatment, Exilis Body Shaping, that is now available for patients concerned about treating signs of aging and unwanted fat. Exilis is a new breakthrough technology that uses targeted RadioFrequency (RF) energy to delivery pain free therapy for the reduction of fatty deposits, skin tightening, and sun damage and/or wrinkles anywhere on the face and body.

Exilis is an FDA approved device that offers a non-surgical solution for fat reduction and tissue tightening anywhere on the body. The procedure uses controlled radio waves to heat a patient's skin and target fat cells. Exilis' thermal energy speeds up the metabolic activity of the fat cells causing them to shrink. The treatments also stimulate and strengthen the collagen network which can improve skin laxity and texture.

"The revolutionary technology used by the Exilis device is the wave of the future," said Dr. Jerry Darm. "It can measurably tighten skin without the need of painful surgery. We are thrilled to offer this cost-effective and non-invasive treatment."

Dr. Darm - RevLite

This multi-purpose laser provides industry-leading treatments for skin resurfacing (including wrinkle reduction and acne scar treatment), multi-color tattoo removal, vascular, dermal and epidermal pigmented lesion removal, and hair removal — for all skin types.

RevLite® features a proprietary variation of the PhotoAcoustic engineering pioneered by HOYA ConBio nearly two decades ago with the original MedLite Q-Switched Nd:YAG lasers. The hallmark of PhotoAcoustic technology is high peak power and short pulse duration. This generates a PhotoAcoustic action against the target molecule, whether it's collagen, tattoo ink or pigment. Forcing energy at such a high rate, the molecules vibrate and shatter, without any harm to the surrounding skin. This PhotoAcoustic action is different from the traditional photothermal effect that many lasers use to target chromophores with bulk heat. A flat-top beam profile delivers high energy evenly over the skin's surface, which significantly minimizes epidermal injury. RevLite takes this PhotoAcoustic action one step further with PhotoAcoustic Technology Pulse (PTP) — a unique dispersion of maximum energy that delivers very narrow pulse widths at up to 60 percent more power. The unique nanosecond pulse configuration cause a dual collagen stimulation action -- delivering both a PhotoAcoustic effect and a subtle photothermal effect from the pulse delivery. Aesthetic treatments with RevLite are safe, patient-friendly and require no downtime, epidermal cooling or messy gels.

Anti-Aging Maintenance™
RevLite is a safe, fast, effective method for skin rejuvenation, whether used as a one-time treatment or as part of an ongoing Anti-Aging Maintenance regimen. The PhotoAcoustic "shockwaves" reorganize the skin's collagen into parallel arrays of compact fibers, giving skin an overall tightening and inducing ongoing dermal remodeling, without any downtime or messy cooling gels. In a recent clinical study of patients treated with the RevLite over 6 bi-weekly sessions, the PTP mode showed superior results in improving wrinkle amount and depth, appearance of pores, number of whiteheads and skin laxity-- with significantly lower patient discomfort than standard Q-switched technology. After an initial treatment series of 6 to 8 sessions, doctors report that patients frequently opt to come in for monthly or quarterly "touch up" sessions to maintain smooth, radiant, younger-looking skin — while continuing to build collagen long-term.

Tattoo Removal
RevLite is built on the same foundation as the MedLite, known as the goldstandard device for multi-color tattoo removal. RevLite harnesses high peak power to gently shatter the tattoo ink particles, which are gradually removed by the body's natural processes. Optional MultiLite handpieces allow physicians to convert RevLite's 532 nm wavelength to either 585 nm or 650 nm. Including the core 1064 nm setting, that's a total of four wavelengths to tackle multi-color tattoos. Award-winning, proven technology treats even stubborn tattoos with virtually no risk of scarring or pigment changes.

Epidermal & Dermal Pigmented Lesions
RevLite's multiple wavelengths make it ideal for treating a wide variety of pigmented lesions on all skin types, including brown "age" spots, solar lentigines, café-au-lait lesions, melasma, Nevus of Ota and aberrant Mongolian Spot. Most lesions can be removed quickly with little to no risk of hypopigmentation.

Acne Scar Reduction
The nonablative skin resurfacing benefits of the RevLite are ideal for treatment of acne scars, providing immediate and long-term benefits. Clinical studies† show that Q-Switched Nd:YAG treatment of mild to moderate atrophic acne scars showed a significant improvement in skin smoothness of 23% after one treatment, increasing to 39.2% six months later. Patients see visible improvement in less than five sessions.

Hair Reduction
Safe for all skin colors and even tanned skin, RevLite is an ideal choice for hair removal. A large (6mm and 8 mm) spot size enables fast, efficient treatments of areas including legs and backs. PhotoAcoustic action is especially effective in treating dark vellus hair where high peak power is needed to selectively target the fine hair follicles.

Vascular Lesion Removal
The RevLite's 532 and 585 nm wavelengths are effective at removing a wide variety of vascular lesions, including telangiectasias, angiomas, spider veins, port wine stains and Campbell de Morgan spots.
