FAQ

• What is Exilis Elite™?

  The award-winning Exilis Elite™ skin tightening treatment is a clinically proven treatment system that helps to:

  • Contour the body
  • Reduce stubborn pockets of fat
  • Tighten and tone skin from head to toe.

  Exilis Elite™ is non-invasive and gives proven results without the need for downtime. This skin tightening treatment is only available in the UK’s leading medical aesthetic clinics, meaning you are in the safest of hands when it comes to choosing Coppergate Clinic to reveal the skin of your dreams.

• How does the treatment work?

  Exilis Elite™ uses radio frequency to gently heat the dermis thus stimulating new collagen growth deep within the dermal layer. The system also incorporates ultrasound technology to target unwanted fat cells, breaking them down so that the body can safely eliminate them. An Exilis Elite™ treatment offers the ideal face and body solution, enabling the reduction of body fat and tightening skin without the need for surgery.

• Which areas can be treated?

  The Exilis Elite™ treatment system has two modules; one for fat reduction and one for skin tightening.

  The fat reduction module heats fat cells to a temperature that permanently destroys them and is highly effective on areas such as:

  • Stubborn fat
  • Diet-and-exercise-resistant areas
  • Fat on the stomach
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Upper arms and back.

  The skin tightening module causes the collagen support tissues in the skin to remodel and tighten. This in turn stimulates and strengthens the collagen network which improves skin laxity and texture.  Exilis Elite™ delivers excellent results on areas prone to sagging including the jowls, neck, décolletage, thighs, and knees.

• How is the treatment carried out?

  As every client’s body, skin, and required goals are unique, a detailed consultation with one of our expert aesthetic therapists is essential prior to undergoing any advanced non-surgical treatment.

  During the consultation, your therapist will discuss any problem areas, desired improvements, options available (including no treatment at all) and expected outcomes. A thorough medical history will be recorded and photographs taken to document your starting point prior to treatment.

• What results should I expect?

  As every client and course of Exilis Elite™ is unique, your therapist will discuss the specific expected outcomes of the programme prior to your initial treatment session.

  Widely speaking, following one or two facial treatments you may start to see a visible improvement to sagging skin and wrinkles, with the most dramatic results experienced 1 to 3 months after the course of treatment has been completed.

  Skin will appear firmer and smoother, with lines plumped and loose areas ‘lifted’. Areas of the body treated for fat reduction are likely to show visible improvement after just 4 treatment sessions; however more sessions may be required to achieve optimum body-contouring results.

• How does the treatment feel?

  The Exilis Elite™ treatment is non-surgical, non-invasive and, on the whole, completely painless. At the beginning of the procedure, some clients often experience a deep heating sensation whilst radiofrequency energy is delivered to the deeper layers of the skin. The underside of the applicator provides cooling to the skin’s surface, keeping you more comfortable during the treatment.

• Is there any downtime?

  Treatment with our Exilis Elite™ skin tightening system is non-surgical, non-invasive and painless, with no down-time. Skin at the treatment site may be a little ‘pink’ immediately after treatment but this ordinarily subsides within 20 minutes post-procedure.
