- Face
- Neck
- Body

How does Exilis Ultra® work?
Exilis Ultra is a non-surgical procedure performed in the office over several sessions of about one hour each. or those who wish to improve skin tone and quality, Exilis Ultra is a great alternative. During an Exilis treatment, precisely controlled radio frequency energy and ultrasound is used to heat the deeper layers of the skin.
The precise level of heat damages the fat cells so they cannot store fat, while contracting the skin tissue, stimulating new collagen production in the process. For fat reduction, we often use Exilis Ultra in combination with Vanquish ME and Cellutone to achieve even better results.
Reduce pockets of fat and tighten skin with Exilis Ultra treatments.
Exilis Ultra is also used for skin tightening and facial rejuvenation. It may also be used as a post-procedural adjunct to surgery to help improve and maintain results. Exilis Ultra is a third generation device that delivers three times the power and effectiveness of the original Exilis device that is often found in spas or salons. Dr. Ringler is the first plastic surgeon in West Michigan able to offer Exilis Ultra technology to patients.

The underside of the applicator provides cooling to the skin’s surface, keeping you more comfortable during treatment.
How long is an Exilis treatment?
The Exilis platform was designed to deliver energy in a short treatment of under an hour for greater patient convenience and comfort. Generally, a series of two to three treatments for the face and neck area are required to achieve the desired result. For the body, three to five sessions are typically recommended. The exact number of treatments will depend on your existing cosmetic concerns and the goals you want to achieve.
Is there any downtime?

What kind of results can I expect with Exilis Ultra?

Treatments will be spaced out over one to two week intervals. The Exilis Ultra is a third generation device that delivers twice the power of the earlier Exilis Elite model that is often used in salons and spas.
Can I achieve same results with Exilis as with liposuction?
Exilis is not a replacement for weight loss and results will not be as dramatic as with liposuction. It is an excellent treatment for smaller areas of localized fat that have not responded well to diet or exercise and for areas where non-surgical skin tightening is desired.
What areas of the body can be treated with Exilis?
Due to the unique design of Exilis, smaller areas of localized fat on the abdomen, neck, face, back, arms, thighs, back fat, knees and male breast can all be treated successfully with this advanced system.
How long do results last?
Exilis is a relatively new device, but current studies show that those who have had treatment over two years ago have maintained their results. Once the fat cells have been destroyed, they cannot return – they are gone forever. If you continue to lead a healthy lifestyle, your results will be long lasting.
How do I prepare for an Exilis Ultra treatment?
