Exilis Ultra skin tightening treatment in Maidenhead

Clinical overview

Exilis Ultra delivers controlled heating to the deeper layers of the skin using a combination of radiofrequency and ultrasound energy. This dual-energy approach stimulates collagen production for improved skin firmness and elasticity, while simultaneously targeting fat cells in areas of concern. The device includes real-time temperature monitoring, allowing precise energy delivery throughout treatment. This makes it suitable for both facial skin tightening (jawline, periorbital, neck) and body contouring (abdomen, thighs, arms). We use Exilis selectively for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity or localised fat deposits who want non-surgical improvement. It is not a substitute for weight loss, and patients with significant laxity may be better served by other approaches. Suitability is confirmed during consultation, where we assess your concerns, anatomy, medical history and expectations. The EFC (Energy Flow Control) technology within Exilis Ultra allows the clinician to adjust the ratio of radiofrequency to ultrasound energy in real time, tailoring each pass to the specific tissue depth and treatment objective. For facial applications such as jawline tightening or periorbital rejuvenation, the emphasis is on collagen stimulation at shallower depths, while body treatments may use deeper energy penetration to target adipose tissue alongside skin tightening. This versatility makes Exilis a practical option for patients who want to address both facial laxity and body concerns within a single treatment programme.

Treatment Areas

Key Benefits

These are the main clinical and practical reasons patients choose Exilis Ultra skin tightening treatment in Maidenhead. Your treatment plan is tailored after consultation rather than selected from a fixed package.

• Non-invasive skin tightening and body contouring with no downtime
• Combines radiofrequency and ultrasound for dual-action treatment
• Stimulates collagen production for improved skin firmness and elasticity
• Can target both face and body areas in the same treatment plan
• Real-time temperature monitoring for safety and precision

Suitable For

Suitability depends on your goals, skin or tissue characteristics, medical history, and tolerance for downtime. These criteria are reviewed in detail during your assessment.

• Mild to moderate skin laxity on face, neck or body
• Stubborn localised fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
• Patients who want non-surgical improvement with no downtime
• Those seeking gradual, natural-looking tightening and contouring
• Suitable for various skin types and tones

Not Suitable For

Some patients should avoid or defer treatment for safety reasons. We screen carefully before any procedure and explain alternatives where relevant.

• Significant skin laxity that would be better addressed with alternative approaches
• Patients seeking significant fat reduction (Exilis is not a weight-loss treatment)
• Active infection or inflammation in the treatment area
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Implanted electronic devices or metal implants in the treatment area (assessed during consultation)

Final suitability is confirmed during a medical consultation and assessment.

When we don't recommend it

A consultation may identify scenarios where a different treatment route is safer or more effective for your outcome goals.

• If laxity is too advanced — Exilis provides gradual tightening for mild to moderate concerns and we will explain realistic expectations.
• If your primary goal is significant fat reduction — Exilis targets localised deposits but is not a substitute for weight management or treatments like CoolSculpting.
• If there is active infection or inflammation in the treatment area — treatment should be delayed.
• If implanted devices or metal are present in the treatment field — suitability is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
• If another treatment or combination would deliver a safer or more effective result for your specific concerns.

1. 1Clinical consultation and suitability assessment, including your concerns, anatomy and medical history
2. 2Discussion of expected outcomes, realistic timelines, limitations, risks and alternatives
3. 3A handpiece is gently moved over the targeted area, delivering controlled RF and ultrasound energy
4. 4You will feel a warming sensation — most patients find it comfortable and relaxing
5. 5Each session lasts approximately 30–60 minutes depending on the area treated

Downtime & Aftercare

Recovery guidance helps protect your result and reduce avoidable complications. We provide written aftercare and safety-net advice at every appointment.

Results Timeline

Most treatments improve in stages rather than immediately. Timelines vary by treatment type, treatment area, and individual response.

• Most patients require 4–6 sessions for optimal results, typically spaced 1–2 weeks apart.
• Improvements in skin texture and firmness often become noticeable after the first few sessions.
• Results continue to develop over several weeks as collagen production increases.
