How Does it Work?
The Exilis Protégé skin tightening system can smooth wrinkles and fine lines, as well as tighten and improve the overall quality and texture of the skin. It does so using the power of radiofrequency waves to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is an important component of the skin that makes it tight, smooth, and youthful-looking.

- Face

What Should I Expect from Treatment?
Typically, 2-4 treatment sessions are recommended based on the area and condition being treated. These treatments are each scheduled no less than one to two weeks apart to give your skin time to recover from the previous treatment.
Many patients worry that an Exilis Protégé treatment will be painful or uncomfortable. Fortunately, the Exilis Protégé treatment in uniquely designed to be painless and comfortable. No needles or injections are involved in the procedure, and most patients do not require an anesthetic before undergoing treatment. This skin tightening treatment is so uniquely comfortable because it incorporates cooling technology that prevents damage to the upper layers of the skin.
There are some possible side effects associated with treatment, but they are typically mild. Common side effects include redness and irritation at the site of treatment that should subside within a few days. Contact your doctor if you experience any bruising.
As far as results go, the full improvements of treatment can be seen three months after its completion. These results have the potential to last over two years. To maintain your results for longer, it is recommended that you undergo a maintenance session once per year.
