What can a New Orleans patient expect before and after their Exilis treatment?

Patients in the New Orleans area who want to experience non-surgical skin tightening and fat reduction are encouraged to visit Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology for Exilis treatments. Exilis is a device cleared by the FDA that uses radio frequency technology to reduce fat cells on the body with thermal energy. This thermal energy causes the cells to shrink while tightening the skin and improving the skin's texture.

Exilis is a popular alternative to surgical treatments that may require extensive downtime and have increased risks for infections and side effects. This treatment is safe, effective, and affordable.

The process of undergoing Exilis is simple. When patients visit Dr. Mary Lupo for their consultation appointment, they will often ask what they can expect before, during, and after treatment.

Before the treatment, patients consult with Dr. Lupo to ensure that Exilis is the best possible treatment option for them. While many patients do not want to undergo plastic surgery, more severe cases of fat reduction and skin tightening may benefit from a more aggressive approach. Exilis is best for mild cases.

During the treatment, patients will not need anesthesia or have numbing cream applied. Patients rest comfortably while the device is used on the area of the body being treated. Patients may feel some warmth from the device, which is guided by across the area being improved and producing radio frequency energy to the deeper layers of the skin. The treatment time may be anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes depending on the treatment area.

After the procedure, patients are able to go about their day immediately. There may be some redness in the treatment area, but this subsides within a few hours after the appointment. Patients are encouraged to maintain physical exercise and drink plenty of water to flush the body of impurities.

Dr. Mary Lupo, of Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology in New Orleans, is happy to provide patients with treatments such as Exilis to improve their body and skin.
