EXILIS Ultra 360 is a nonsurgical treatment that uses controlled thermal energy to encourage collagen production and improve the appearance of lax skin, wrinkles, and selected areas of localized fat. Compared with some other skin-tightening options, EXILIS Ultra 360 can be used on both the face and body without incisions or a lengthy break from your routine. The right choice, however, depends on the location you want to target and whether laxity, texture, wrinkles, or unwanted fat is your main concern.
Bucay Center for Dermatology and Aesthetics offers EXILIS Ultra 360 at its La Casita-West Craig location. These treatments are performed by Melissa Valdez, a licensed medical aesthetician and body contouring specialist.
How Does EXILIS Ultra 360 Work?
EXILIS Ultra 360 delivers heat below the skin’s surface through a computer-controlled applicator. The warmth stimulates collagen production, which can gradually produce smoother, firmer-looking tissue. It may also help contour selected locations with pinchable fat, though it isn’t a weight-loss solution.
Common treatment sites include the area around the eyes, chin, jowls, neck, abdomen, back, thighs, and flanks. Sessions normally last about 20 to 30 minutes. Most plans include two to four sessions performed at weekly intervals.
How Does It Compare With Focused-Ultrasound Treatments?
Some skin-tightening systems use focused ultrasound alone to deliver energy at specific tissue depths, often for lifting areas of the face and neck. EXILIS Ultra 360 combines ultrasound with radiofrequency heating and may be used across the face and body. The better option depends on the treatment site, degree of looseness, and desired outcome.
How Is It Different From RF Microneedling?
Radiofrequency microneedling places small needles into the skin while releasing energy below the surface. That combination can address laxity along with acne scars, enlarged pores, or unevenness.
Because EXILIS Ultra 360 doesn’t use needles, it might be a better match when you’d rather avoid pinpoint bleeding or several days of visible redness. RF microneedling may offer added value when texture concerns are just as important as firmness.
What About Laser Resurfacing?
Laser resurfacing uses light energy to address concerns such as discoloration, fine lines, sun damage, and uneven texture. Treatment depth, collagen effects, and recovery periods vary by device.
EXILIS Ultra 360 focuses more on warming deeper tissue and improving firmness. A laser may be chosen when brown spots or surface imperfections are your main concern. In some cases, the two can play different roles in a broader cosmetic plan.
