Exilis vs Ultherapy, Which is better?

Exilis vs Ultherapy, Which is better?

Date Published: December 11, 2024

Exilis Ultra vs Ultherapy – These are two of the most popular non-surgical treatments for skin tightening and lifting. Both treatments are highly effective, safe, and offer minimal downtime. However, many people believe that Exilis Ultra is a superior treatment to Ultherapy. In this blog, we will explore the reasons why Exilis Ultra is considered a superior treatment.

Dual-functionality

Exilis Ultra is a dual-functionality device that uses both radiofrequency and ultrasound energy to tighten and lift the skin. This combination of technologies allows for deeper penetration and more comprehensive skin rejuvenation. Ultherapy, on the other hand, uses only ultrasound technology.

Exilis, when used on the face tightens and smooths out the skin by enhancing the production of elastin and collagen. Both of these proteins make up the support structure of your skin and are responsible for its appearance. Through aging and exposure to sunlight, our skin naturally begins to break down these fibres. By encouraging the growth of these important structural fibres, skin becomes noticeably tighter and firmer, regaining a youthful appearance.

You might be thinking…

Aren’t there plenty of serums, creams and other topical products that can do the same?

Topical products can only work to a certain extent. With Exilis, your skin’s collagen and elastin will be restored at a much higher rate than you would experience with topical skincare.

Customizable treatment

Exilis Ultra is highly customizable, and its settings can be adjusted to suit the unique needs of each patient. The device’s advanced technology allows the practitioner to control the depth of energy penetration, the duration of treatment, and the intensity of the treatment. Ultherapy, on the other hand, has limited customization options and may not be suitable for all skin types.

Comfortable Treatment

Exilis Ultra is a more comfortable treatment than Ultherapy. The device has an integrated cooling system that protects the skin from overheating during treatment. Additionally, Exilis Ultra uses a handheld applicator that allows for precise targeting of treatment areas. Ultherapy, on the other hand, can be uncomfortable and may require the use of pain medication.

Treatment Time

Exilis Ultra is a quicker treatment than Ultherapy. A single treatment session typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated. Ultherapy, on the other hand, can take up to two hours to complete.

Versatility

Exilis Ultra can be used to treat a wider range of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, skin laxity, and cellulite. Ultherapy is primarily used to treat skin laxity and is not as effective in treating other skin concerns.

In conclusion, while both Exilis Ultra and Ultherapy are effective non-surgical treatments for skin tightening and lifting, Exilis Ultra offers several advantages over Ultherapy. Its dual-functionality, customizable settings, comfortable treatment, shorter treatment time, and versatility make it a superior treatment for those looking to improve their skin’s overall appearance. Consult with a qualified medical practitioner to determine which treatment option is best for you.
