Key benefits of Exilis for Body Sculpting:
Non-invasive treatment with zero downtime
Smooths and firms skin
Reduces stubborn fat deposits
Stimulates collagen for tighter, more youthful skin
Improves body contours and shape
Why is Exilis suitable for body treatments?
Exilis combines radiofrequency and ultrasound technology to heat the skin and underlying tissues. This process stimulates collagen production, improves skin elasticity, and helps reduce small pockets of fat. It’s safe, comfortable, and can be customized to different bodies.
What areas can be treated?
Exilis can be used to target stubborn fat and loose skin on different areas of the body, including:
Abdomen

The Science behind Exilis for Body
Radiofrequency (RF):
Heats the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production, leading to tighter and firmer skin.
Ultrasound:
Penetrates deeper tissues to enhance the effectiveness of RF energy and aid in fat cell reduction.
Controlled Heating and Cooling:
The device alternates between heating and cooling during treatment to ensure safety and comfort.

Prices depend on treatment area and number of sessions. View our pricing page for more detailed pricing or book your consultation to get a tailored quote.
All our treatments are FDA-approved and non-invasive. Most clients experience minimal side effects, such as mild redness, warmth, or temporary soreness.
Most clients need 4–6 sessions, spaced 1–2 weeks apart, for the best results. Some improvement may be seen after the first session, with continued changes as collagen rebuilds in the weeks following treatment. Maintenance sessions can help extend results.
Preparation is simple — stay well-hydrated before your appointment and wear comfortable clothing. No special diet or pre-treatment care is required.
All treatments are designed to be comfortable. Exilis gives a gentle warm sensation.
You can return to normal activities immediately. To support your results, continue drinking plenty of water, follow a healthy lifestyle, and complete your recommended treatment plan. Maintenance sessions may be suggested to keep skin firm and smooth over time.
All our treatments require no downtime. You can resume work, exercise, and daily activities immediately.
Exilis is not suitable if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have implanted medical devices like pacemakers. Certain health conditions may also prevent treatment, and a consultation is always required to ensure safety.
Results are noticeable after 2-3 sessions.
Results are long-lasting but can be influenced by lifestyle. Maintenance sessions, healthy diet, and exercise help keep results for months or even years.
This is a non-invasive treatment and can be combined with other non-invasive treatments.
There are more than 15 peer reviewed studies.
One study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology in 2013 found that people who received four treatments over a four-week period experienced an average reduction of 2 inches in the waist circumference. The study also reported that there were no significant side effects observed.
Another study published in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser therapy in 2014 found that the treatment resulted in a significant reduction of fat in the treated area and an improvement in skin tightening.
Radiofrequency (RF) is an electric current with a positive and a negative poles and the energy travels between the two of them. Our body consists of molecules that are also charged, one side is + charged, the other is – charged. The opposites attract each other, therefore the molecules will try to rotate the minus side to the plus electrode. The polarity of the electrodes changes very quickly (the frequency of Exilis is 3,2MHz therefore the polarity changes 3 200 000 times per second). The molecules become “excited”, the friction of a molecule against another one creates the heat. That is why the RF heats even if the contact is cold.
The heat (controlled and constantly checked) leads to collagen fibres shrinkage and stimulation of new collagen fibres production and skin tightening.
For body treatments with a combination of cooling and heating allows the energy to penetrate to the fat layer and adding fat reduction effect to skin tightening. Facial treatment exhibits only skin tightening without fat reduction.
Fat freezing is an effective way to kill fat cells. One should however know that for fat freezing:
- The results will be seen in 2-3 months after the treatment only
- Some report the treatment as painful either before the treatment or soon after it
- 4-6 total sessions are required using different size of the applicators
- The treatment only works on the tissue that can be sucked between the two freezing panels inside the applicators (that is why pain before the treatment in case of some body areas)
- There is no skin tightening happening during the treatment and therefore the patients need to book the skin tightening treatment too.
- Incidence of PAH – paradoxical adipose hyperplasia is small, however the medicine cannot predict to which patient it will occur. Instead of slimming in the treated area, the body creates more fat cells and the client becomes “wider”.
For this treatment none of the above conditions apply. The slimming results can be measured after the first session in most cases. The reduction after the first session is 1-2 cm only and the patients may not notice it, but it can be measured. This is due to lipolysis, which is shrinking the volume of the fat cells. The biggest volume reduction happens 2-3 months after the first session due to apoptosis, which is death of fat cells and the time necessary to wash out the dead fat cells through the lymphatic system.
The patients feel heat during the treatments but it is not intolerable or painful. 4-6 sessions are required too. This treatment can work anywhere on the body for slimming or skin tightening. We are able to tighten the skin while killing fat cells / shrinking their size.
This treatment is a Monopolar Radiofrequency (RF) Technology, meaning one ‘pole’ is the handpiece which is used on the body, and the other pole is an adhesive electrode which is placed on the body. The electric current flows between them. Monopolar RF on its own is just a skin tightening system (the facial handpiece is for skin tightening not volume loss on the face). The body handpiece uses cooling of the tip. Our body has two types of heat receptor … one tells the brain hot, the other tells the brain cold. … you deliver the heat through a tip which is cold, therefore the client´s brain is tricked/deceived and he tolerates high power for a longer period of time and this enables the heat to penetrate to the fat layer.
CE Medical certificate for says that this treatment “is intended for treatment of obesity by means of controlled reduction of fat cells, induced by radiofrequency field in cooperation with ultrasound and for treatment of sexual dysfunction after vaginal delivery by means of improvement of vaginal laxity.”
Radiofrequency devices are colour blind, Laser devices target specific colour spectrums. This makes them coluor specific and their target tissue must be seen from the surface. The most popular treatments will be hair removal, acne treatment, vascular lesions. CO2 lasers were popular for facial “peeling”, but the downtime is long, the patients look sunburned for 4-6 weeks so this treatment lost its popularity.
Radiofrequency is an electric current, it flows from one pole to the other using the shortest path between the electrodes (poles). Because these are on the skin surface, the current will always flow on the surface and not penetrate to fat layer in order to heat it and affect it in any way. Patients will complain about the heat before the heat can penetrate to the adipose tissue. Our treatment uses cooling of the tip (see below).
- Radiofrequency uses vacuum which helps with lymph drainage
- Radiofrequency uses infrared laser probes that according to their users manual heats the tissue up to 3mm which is not enough for slimming
This explains Radiofrequency may be good for skin tightening but it is not a slimming device
The FDA clearance of Radiofrequency is indicated for the relief of minor muscle aches and pain, relief of muscle spasm, temporary improvement of local blood circulation, temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite and for temporary reduction of thighs circumferences.”
At least 90% of all other Radiofrequency devices available in South Africa are bipolar, and this is regardless if they are called Tripolar, Quattropolar, Multipolar. This is because there are just two poles, + and -. Tripolar is not a third generation of Radiofrequency devices, it is not superior as for the research or similar. Tripolar is Bipolar, Quattropolar is Bipolar and they ALL can only be used for skin tightening, collagen remodelling. They cannot be used for fat reduction.
