EXILIS PROTÉGÉ ELITE SKIN TIGHTENING
Exilis is an award-winning technology to help you achieve the look you desire.
This advanced technology is a winner of three international awards in 2013 for skin tightening. The Exilis system used at epiclinic is the current “buzz phrase” in facial rejuvenation and fat reduction taking the world by storm. Exilis skin tightening uses both ultrasound and radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin and remove stubborn fat.
The science behind Exilis technology
This technology uses a controlled amount of radiofrequency energy combined with ultrasound waves to target and heat the deeper layers of your skin. This in turn stimulates the production of collagen in the area. Collagen is a protein that keeps your skin tighter, firmer, and springy. The treatment also heats the fat cells in the area which causes them to shrink and break down. Over time, the fat cells are naturally absorbed by your body. This in turn improves the appearance of the treated area.
