1. How does BTL EXILIS ELITE™ non-surgical facelift and skin tightening work?
The BTL EXILIS ELITE™, is a non-surgical solution that is proven by science to treat skin laxity on your face and body safely and efficiently. It uses a focused radiofrequency (RF) dynamic monopolar device which combines focused RF delivery with a list of built-in safety features.
Through its applicator the BTL EXILIS ELITE™ precisely increases surface temperature on the target region creating a comfortably warm sensation. with continuous motions, the areas with the most laxity will be targeted. The treatment also comes with a cooling system that can be adjusted accordingly so the heat can reach the subcutaneous tissue, or the deeper layers of the skin without any pain (Araújo et al., 2015).
The facial application of BTL EXILIS ELITE™ disrupts the collagen fiber triple-helix structure, initiating a natural healing response that generates new collagen fibers (McDaniel et al., 2014). With the combination of heat and cooling to deliver RF energy to specific depths of your skin, the BTL EXILIS ELITE™ can promote cellulite reduction and collagen remodelling and skin tightening.
