Exilis Elite Ultra 360

How does the Exilis Elite Ultra 360 work?

The Exilis Elite Ultra 360 is a non-invasive procedure that helps to tighten the skin. It is an effective treatment that addresses body concerns by tightening and firming the skin on the lower jaw, therefore producing a slimmer silhouette to the jaw.

The Exilis Elite Ultra 360 is an upgraded version of the Exilis Elite, simultaneously delivering combined radio frequency and ultrasound to bring the temperature of the deep tissues underneath the skin to 40-42 degrees celsius, which is the optimal temperature for collagen stimulation. The stimulation of collagen and tightening of elastin fibres in the skin helps to tighten the skin, achieving a contour on the jaw.

The system also ensures that the optimal level of power is delivered to the target tissue at all times and the energy is being monitored and adjusted in real time.

The treatment is completely comfortable with a warm sensation and normal activities can be resumed after.

How many treatment sessions are required?

For the most desirable results, it is recommended to have 4-6 treatment sessions, about 7-10 days apart.

Is it painful and is there any downtime?

This treatment is relatively painless. Some patients have described the treatment session as being similar to a hot stone massage. There is no downtime and daily activities can be resumed straight after.

Ultraformer HIFU

How does Ultraformer HIFU work?

HIFU stands for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, which is a non-invasive procedure that is used for skin tightening and lifting. It uses a high-intensity ultrasound that allows the deepest penetration of energy, reaching depths of up to 4.5mm. By effectively treating the deeper skin layers, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibres, causing them to thicken and shorten, tightening the skin.

By stimulating the production of collagen and elastin fibres, the tightening and lifting results are long term. The HIFU also emits a large amount of energy and can reduce unwanted facial fats precisely while tightening the area, rendering it an effective treatment for the removal of double chins.

How many treatment sessions are required?

Ultraformer HIFU treatments can be done once every 12 to 18 months apart.

It is important to note that other treatments that need to be performed more regularly than 12 to 18 months apart may not be real HIFU procedures.

Is it painful and is there any downtime?

The Ultraformer HIFU is a relatively painless procedure. There may be a mild discomfort along bony areas (e.g. the jawline) due to the high ultrasound energy reflecting off the facial contours. This will resolve itself after a short period of time.

There is minimal to no downtime for the Ultraformer HIFU treatment. Occasionally, your skin may appear slightly red after treatment, but it will disappear within a few hours.

Tips To Prevent A Double Chin

While undergoing treatment is effective in reducing double chin, it is advised to commit to a healthy lifestyle to maintain your double chin reduction results in the long run.

Lifestyle

If your double chin is caused by your posture, you should take note of the poor posture and make conscious effort to correct it.

If it is due to sun-damaged skin, it is important to make some lifestyle modifications. You should avoid being out in the sun excessively to prevent further loss of collagen. It is also important to apply UV protection of at least SPF30 when you are out.

Diet

If your double chin is caused by your weight, it would be wise to maintain your double chin reduction results by losing some weight. This can be achieved through a healthy diet that is low in fat and calories.
