BTL Exilis Ultra 360™ Skin Tightening in Burnaby

Most people describe it as a warm, relaxing massage. There are no needles and numbing is not normally needed, because the applicator cools the skin surface while heat builds underneath and skin temperature is monitored throughout. If an area feels too hot, tell your clinician and the energy is adjusted. Comfort varies from person to person.

A series of about 4 sessions, spaced roughly one week apart, is typical. Some body areas may call for up to 6. Your physician personalizes the plan at your assessment, based on the areas treated and how your skin responds, and may suggest occasional maintenance sessions later. Results vary.

Most people resume normal activities the same day, including makeup. You may notice mild warmth or pinkness for an hour or two. There are no needle marks or wounds to look after; daily sunscreen and your usual skincare are enough. Your physician will tell you if anything else applies to your plan.

Thermage and Ultherapy are typically delivered as a single session, while Exilis is usually delivered as a short series with gradual tightening and can also target small pockets of localized fat. Which fits depends on your skin, the area and your goals. A physician assessment decides which suits you, or whether a combination does.

Radiofrequency acts through heat rather than pigment, and Exilis is used on a range of skin types under physician-led protocols. Your physician will confirm suitability for your skin at assessment. Tell us about any past pigmentation after heat or laser treatments, so the settings and plan can take it into account.

Temporary warmth, redness or mild tenderness in the treated area can occur and usually settles within hours. Slight swelling is possible where the skin is thin. Less commonly, heat-related skin irritation can occur. Your physician will go over the risks before treatment, and settings are adjusted to your feedback during it.

Pregnancy or breastfeeding, a pacemaker, defibrillator or metal implant in the treatment area, active infection, open wounds or unhealed scars, and recent fillers or threads in the same area are among the reasons it may not be suitable. A physician assessment reviews your history and decides whether Exilis, another option, or waiting suits you best.

Yes. Skin Art MD is in Burnaby's Metrotown area within Metro Vancouver, close to Metrotown SkyTrain Station on the Expo Line, so it is a short trip from Vancouver, New Westminster and the Tri-Cities. Book an assessment to discuss whether Exilis suits your face or body.

Typically about 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas treated: a small facial area takes less time than the abdomen or thighs. Allow extra time at your first visit for the physician assessment and mapping. No numbing time is needed, and you can return to your day straight afterwards.

Some people notice slightly firmer skin soon after a session, but the main change develops gradually over the series and the months after it, as collagen remodels. How long results last depends on age, skin quality and lifestyle, because skin keeps ageing, and occasional maintenance sessions may be suggested. Results vary, and no duration can be promised.
