New Orleans dermatologist offers a non-surgical solution for stubborn fat removal

At the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology, our team of professionals, including Dr. Mary Lupo, work closely with patients to assist them in achieving the skin and body that makes them feel most confident. When patients in the New Orleans area visit her practice to ask about fat removal solutions for stubborn areas, she often suggests a non-surgical solution known as Exilis.

Exilis is a revolutionary way for patients to achieve better body contours with fat removal and skin tightening without going under the knife! Dr. Mary Lupo is a board certified dermatologist uses Exilis to give patients a new lease on life by improving the way they look. Many of our Exilis patients who use treatments around the midsection to address a tummy or the flanks will often find they are able to drop a pant size weeks after their first session.

Exilis results are gradual, unlike more invasive procedures; such as tummy tucks and liposuction, which provide instant results. However, the primary benefit of Exilis is the ability to use radio frequency energy to heat and destroy fat cells allowing the body to flush them out naturally; thereby, avoiding the need for the downtime, recovery, and healing associated with traditional plastic surgeries. Dr. Mary Lupo encourage patients to take into consideration the benefits of not having to take off time from work and regular activities versus a week or longer of recovery time necessary with liposuction and abdominoplasties.

Treatment sessions last approximately one hour; sometimes less, and patients relax in the treatment chair as the device is used on the area of concern. Patients feel a warming sensation as the radio frequency energy warms the skin and the fat cells underneath. We can apply a numbing cream to the skin if patients are worried about comfort during their session though many are able to undergo treatment without it.
