Let’s be real: Loose skin is a fact of life. Whether it’s caused by weight loss, aging, or other lifestyle factors, lax skin can obscure your inner vitality and make you look older than you feel.

At Skin Boutique, we prioritize effective treatments that feel as good as they look—and this one combines the best of body contouring, fat reduction, and cellulite improvement.
Book your consultation and keep reading to discover the science behind Exilis.
How Exilis Works
The Exilis device warms the skin and pairs radiofrequency (RF) energy with ultrasound technology to tighten skin and reduce stubborn fat. When diet and exercise aren’t enough to reveal your natural figure and smooth cellulite, this body contouring technique offers an alternative to surgical procedures.
Skin Tightening
Exilis’ RF energy penetrates the skin’s uppermost layers, heating the targeted tissue and activating the body’s natural healing response. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin—proteins that give your skin structure and a healthy “bounce.” Over time, these new fibers replace old, damaged tissue, creating a firmer, tighter complexion.
While results continue to develop up to 3 months after your appointment, Exilis offers some immediate benefits. The heat causes existing collagen fibers to contract, temporarily tightening skin for a “sneak peek” of the rejuvenation to come.
Fat Reduction
While the RF energy focuses on skin tightening, the device’s ultrasound waves create “micro-vibrations” in the skin that target stubborn fat pockets. This technique primes these cells to absorb the surrounding heat, causing them to break down. In response, the body’s lymphatic system naturally eliminates this tissue, yielding a slimmer silhouette.
Combination Treatments
By pairing fat reduction and skin tightening, Exilis minimizes the appearance of saggy skin. While traditional devices focus only on a singular concern, Exilis addresses both, creating healthier skin that snugly fits your body’s natural contours.
Who Is the Right Candidate for Exilis?
At Skin Boutique, we recommend Exilis for patients with mild-to-moderate skin laxity who prefer gradual, natural results over the significant downtime often associated with surgical procedures.
However, there are a few cases where Exilis may not be the best choice of treatment due to safety or comfort concerns. We do not recommend this technique to patients who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding, or have:
- Metal implants, including joint replacements or braces, in or around the treatment area
- Electrical implants, such as pacemakers or internal defibrillators
- Active infections, inflammation, or open wounds in or around the treatment area
- Immune disorders or impaired wound healing
