What Is Exilis Ultra?
Exilis Ultra is a non-invasive, energy-based aesthetic technology that combines radiofrequency and ultrasound to heat targeted tissue without surgical incisions or needles.
Radiofrequency energy generates controlled heat, while the system’s ultrasound component supports its energy-delivery process. The treatment can be adjusted by a trained provider based on the area being addressed.
Exilis technology is used for selected cosmetic concerns involving wrinkles and skin appearance. Providers may also discuss its potential role in a broader skin-firming or body-contouring plan, depending on the patient’s condition and the device configuration.
It is important to understand that Exilis Ultra is not a surgical facelift, a weight-loss treatment, or a guaranteed solution for significant loose skin.
How Does Exilis Ultra Work?
Exilis Ultra uses radiofrequency and ultrasound energy together to deliver controlled heat to selected tissue.
The provider moves a treatment applicator across the skin while monitoring the treatment response and using settings appropriate for the area being treated.
Controlled thermal energy may support tissue remodeling processes associated with collagen and changes in skin appearance over time.
Because skin structure and treatment response vary, the amount of visible improvement cannot be predicted precisely for every patient.
Exilis Ultra does not use the needles found in RF microneedling treatments and does not require surgical incisions.
What Areas Can Be Treated With Exilis Ultra?
Exilis technology can be considered for different facial and body areas, depending on the specific device, treatment indication, and clinical assessment.
Face and Cheeks
Some patients seek non-invasive aesthetic treatments because of fine lines, changes in skin texture, or reduced facial firmness.
Exilis Ultra may be discussed for selected facial wrinkle concerns. However, substantial facial sagging or volume loss may require a different treatment approach.
Jawline and Jowls
Changes around the lower face can make the jawline appear less defined.
For patients with mild skin laxity concerns, an energy-based treatment may be considered as part of an individualized plan.
Exilis Ultra cannot be expected to reproduce the lifting effects of a surgical facelift.
Neck
Neck skin can develop fine lines, wrinkles, and changes in firmness with age or sun exposure.
Your provider can assess whether Exilis Ultra or another treatment is more suitable for your neck concerns.
Abdomen and Stomach
Some patients notice changes in abdominal skin appearance after pregnancy, weight changes, or aging.
Exilis Ultra may be considered for selected aesthetic concerns involving body skin appearance, although the degree of improvement varies.
It does not remove large amounts of excess skin or replace abdominal surgery.
Upper Arms and Thighs
Patients may explore non-surgical treatments for selected concerns involving skin texture or mild laxity on the arms and thighs.
The suitability of these areas depends on skin characteristics, underlying tissue, and the device configuration used.
Other Body Areas
Additional treatment areas may be considered following a clinical assessment.
Not every treatment area is suitable for every patient, and results depend on the specific anatomical concern.
Potential Benefits of Exilis Ultra
Depending on the individual treatment plan, potential benefits may include:
- A non-invasive approach without surgical incisions
- Treatment of selected facial wrinkle concerns
- Personalized treatment settings
- A treatment experience based on controlled surface heating
- Possible gradual improvement in the appearance of certain skin texture or firmness concerns
- Typically limited interruption to everyday activities
- An option for patients exploring alternatives to more invasive procedures
These are potential treatment characteristics and benefits, not guaranteed clinical outcomes.
Exilis Ultra for Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Wrinkles and fine lines can develop as the skin changes with age, sun exposure, and other factors.
Exilis technology has a history of use for non-invasive wrinkle treatment. Its approach involves delivering controlled energy to targeted tissue rather than using injectable products or surgical techniques.
The appropriate treatment depends on the location and cause of your wrinkles.
For example, wrinkles caused primarily by repeated facial muscle movement may require a different approach from wrinkles associated with skin texture or laxity.
A consultation can help identify which treatment category best matches your concern.
Can Exilis Ultra Tighten Loose Skin?
Exilis Ultra is commonly discussed as a non-invasive option for selected skin-firming concerns.
Patients with relatively mild skin laxity may wish to explore whether an RF-based treatment is suitable.
However, the amount of improvement depends on the severity of laxity, skin condition, treatment area, and individual response.
Patients with significant loose or excess skin may need different options, including surgical evaluation.
There is no single skin-tightening device that is ideal for every patient.
What Does an Exilis Ultra Treatment Feel Like?
During Exilis Ultra treatment, patients commonly experience a warming sensation as the applicator moves over the skin.
Some people compare the sensation to a warm or hot-stone massage.
Comfort varies. The heat may feel more intense in certain areas, and some patients experience temporary discomfort or tenderness.
Your provider should explain the expected sensations before beginning treatment and adjust the procedure according to the applicable device instructions and your response.
A treatment should never be described as guaranteed pain-free.
What Happens During an Exilis Ultra Appointment?
Step 1: Consultation and Skin Assessment
Your provider discusses your skin concerns, medical history, previous aesthetic treatments, medications, and expectations.
The treatment area is assessed to determine whether Exilis Ultra is suitable.
Step 2: Treatment Preparation
The skin is prepared according to the treatment protocol. Makeup, skincare residue, and other products may need to be removed from the area.
Your provider explains the treatment process and any necessary precautions.
Step 3: Controlled Energy Treatment
The provider applies the device to the selected area, delivering controlled energy through a handheld applicator.
Patients generally experience warmth as the applicator moves across the skin.
The duration depends on the treatment area, treatment settings, and individualized plan.
Step 4: Aftercare and Follow-Up
The provider assesses the skin following treatment and provides aftercare instructions.
If a treatment series is recommended, follow-up visits may be scheduled to evaluate the response and determine whether additional sessions are appropriate.
How Many Exilis Ultra Sessions Will I Need?
Exilis treatments are often planned as a series rather than a single appointment.
The appropriate number of sessions depends on the treatment area, skin condition, device configuration, and goals.
Some aesthetic practices use multi-session protocols, but the treatment schedule at BG Medical Aesthetics should be established by the treating provider.
During your consultation, ask how many sessions may be recommended, how they should be spaced, and when results can be assessed.
How Long Does an Exilis Ultra Treatment Take?
Treatment duration depends on the size and number of areas being treated.
A smaller facial area may require less time than a larger body area.
Your appointment may also include skin assessment, preparation, photographs, and post-treatment instructions.
Contact BG Medical Aesthetics for the current appointment duration for your specific treatment.
When Will I See Exilis Ultra Results?
Treatment response varies from person to person.
Some patients notice temporary changes in skin appearance relatively early, while other visible changes may develop gradually over the weeks or months following a series of treatments.
Skin condition, age, treatment intensity, and other individual factors can influence results.
Any before-and-after photographs should be viewed as examples rather than predictions of your own outcome.
How Long Do Exilis Ultra Results Last?
The longevity of aesthetic treatment results depends on the treatment performed, individual tissue response, aging, sun exposure, and other lifestyle factors.
Some patients may discuss additional treatments over time, but no single maintenance schedule is appropriate for everyone.
Your provider can explain what is realistic for your specific concerns.
Is There Downtime After Exilis Ultra?
Exilis Ultra is a non-invasive procedure, and many patients may return to ordinary activities relatively soon afterward.
However, temporary redness, warmth, swelling, tenderness, or sensitivity can occur.
The skin response depends on treatment settings, area treated, and personal sensitivity.
Follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your clinician, including recommendations about heat exposure, skincare, exercise, and sun protection.
Exilis Ultra Side Effects and Safety
Energy-based treatments have potential risks even when no incisions or needles are involved.
Possible effects include temporary discomfort, redness, swelling, and tenderness. Thermal treatments can also cause burns or other skin injury if inappropriate settings or unsuitable treatment techniques are used.
Patients with certain medical conditions or implanted devices may not be appropriate candidates.
Before treatment, tell your provider about:
- Pacemakers or other implanted electronic devices
- Metal implants or metal-containing materials near the treatment area
- Pregnancy or possible pregnancy
- Active skin infections, irritation, or open wounds
- Relevant skin conditions or healing concerns
- Previous cosmetic procedures
- Current medications and significant medical conditions
Your provider should determine suitability using the specific device’s instructions and an individualized medical assessment.
Do not proceed with treatment if you have unresolved concerns about whether the procedure is appropriate for you.
Who May Be a Good Candidate for Exilis Ultra?
A suitable candidate may be an adult interested in addressing selected cosmetic concerns without undergoing an invasive procedure.
Potential candidates may include individuals exploring treatment for facial wrinkles or mild changes in skin appearance.
However, some patients may benefit more from alternative technologies, injectables, or surgery.
The best treatment choice depends on the underlying concern rather than the popularity of a particular device.
Exilis Ultra vs. Forma: What’s the Difference?
Exilis Ultra and Forma are both energy-based aesthetic treatments, but their technologies and treatment protocols are not identical.
Exilis Ultra: Combines radiofrequency and ultrasound energy to deliver controlled tissue heating.
Forma: Uses radiofrequency technology for selected skin appearance and firmness concerns.
The choice depends on the anatomical area, patient goals, skin condition, and specific treatment protocol.

Exilis Ultra vs. XERF
Exilis Ultra and XERF use different energy delivery systems.
Exilis Ultra: Combines radiofrequency and ultrasound.
XERF: Uses dual-frequency monopolar radiofrequency technology with its own cooling and energy-control features.
These differences may influence treatment planning, but one technology cannot automatically be described as better for every patient.

Exilis Ultra vs. Morpheus8
Exilis Ultra is a non-invasive surface-applied energy treatment.
Morpheus8 combines radiofrequency with microneedles that penetrate the skin.
This difference affects the treatment experience, suitability, potential risks, and recovery.
Patients who want a needle-free approach may ask about Exilis Ultra, while someone with selected skin-texture concerns may wish to discuss RF microneedling.
Read about Morpheus8 and Morpheus8 Body.
Exilis Ultra vs. Ultherapy
Ultherapy uses microfocused ultrasound technology for specific aesthetic applications, including certain lifting and wrinkle-related indications.
Exilis Ultra uses radiofrequency and ultrasound technologies together for a different treatment approach.
The devices have different approved or cleared indications and should not be treated as interchangeable.
Learn more about Ultherapy.
Is Exilis Ultra the Same as CoolSculpting?
No. These technologies have different treatment purposes.
Exilis Ultra uses controlled energy and is discussed primarily for selected wrinkle and skin-appearance concerns.
CoolSculpting Elite uses controlled cooling for certain localized fat bulges.
Neither is a general weight-loss solution.

How Much Does Exilis Ultra Cost in Los Angeles?
Exilis Ultra pricing can vary depending on the treatment area, number of sessions, clinic pricing structure, and personalized treatment plan.
The cost of treating a small facial area may differ from a larger body area.
Patients considering multiple sessions should ask about the total treatment estimate rather than looking only at the cost of a single appointment.
