Enjoy fat reduction techniques with the Exilis Elite from Walnut Creek, CA dermatologist

When patients are seeking fat reduction but do not want to undergo plastic surgery, they may want to work with a Board-certified dermatologist in the Walnut Creek, CA area who provides Exilis Elite services. Exilis Elite is an innovative treatment that is used by Dr. M. Christine Lee and her staff to provide effective fat reduction treatments using radiofrequency energy.

Understanding Exilis Elite

Exilis Elite is a revolutionary way for patients to melt away fat in stubborn areas to improve their body contours. At The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute, Dr. M. Christine Lee provides this treatment as an alternative to surgical interventions. Exilis Elite uses a device that delivers radiofrequency energy right through the skin and into the areas of fat, destroying them and initiating the skin’s natural collagen production. This treatment will reduce fat and improve the contours of the body over the course of time, ensuring natural enhancement.

What can I expect from Exilis Elite treatments?

First, patients talk with Dr. M. Christine Lee during their initial consultation appointment to decide if Exilis Elite is appropriate for their specific needs. It is essential that patients understand that Exilis Elite is not a weight loss treatment. Instead, it is dedicated to fat removal to improve body contours. When patients have decided they are right for treatment, they book their sessions. Patients relax in the treatment chair or on a table, depending on the area being addressed, to ensure it is easily accessible by the doctor. Then, the device is utilized in the treatment area. Most patients experience a warming sensation, but it is comfortable and well-received by almost all our patients. It is not described by patients as painful, but rather relaxing. The time needed for treatment will depend on the size of the area being addressed, most patients will be able to enjoy treatments in less than an hour.

Aftercare and results of Exilis Elite

Once patients have had their treatment, they are able to return to their day with no further interruptions. This is because there is no:

• Injections
• Anesthetics
• Pain
• Bruising
• Bleeding

Patients should understand the results are not immediate. Instead, the body transforms over the course of several weeks, and patients will need to have multiple treatments to get the best results. This treatment requires fewer sessions than other technologically advanced devices found in the cosmetic treatment market today. Most patients will need to book anywhere from four to six treatments, spaced at least two weeks apart to achieve the results they desire.

Where can Exilis Elite be used?

There are many parts of the body that can be treated with Exilis Elite that our patients are not even aware can be improved! The most common areas where patients request this treatment include the:

• Bra rolls
• “Love handles”
• Buttocks
• Male breasts
• Abdomen
• Thighs
• “Saddle bags”
• Knees

Is Exilis Elite right for me?

Today’s technology allows patients to achieve body contouring and fat removal results that may have never been thought possible without liposuction or other plastic surgery treatments. Patients who are interested in Exilis Elite will be evaluated to determine if they are appropriate candidates. The best candidates are patients who are within their ideal body weight, want to address a specific region of unwanted fat, and who already lead a healthy lifestyle by eating right and staying active. This treatment is not a weight loss solution, and patients who are overweight or obese may not be good candidates for this procedure. Larger areas of fat may still require plastic surgery, which is why an evaluation appointment is recommended before booking treatment sessions at The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute.

The best way to determine if you are a candidate for Exilis Elite is to work with our dedicated professional in Walnut Creek, CA who can provide you with the solutions you need. We encourage patients in the community to contact Dr. M. Christine Lee and the team at The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute to learn more. Call (925) 528-0117 to book an appointment at the practice, located in Suite 125 at 370 North Wiget Lane.
