Exilis Ultra

-

Dr Eileen Tan of Eileen Skin Clinic & Associates uses the third generation of Exilis Ultra for non-invasive contouring and tightening on the face and body. The versatile, FDA-cleared treatment uses a combinatio­n of monopolar radiofrequ­ency (RF) and ultrasound energy to tackle common ageing signs like droopy jowls and eye wrinkles, as well as shape and tone up problem areas like flabby arms and love handles.

The proprietar­y energy flow control (EFC) technology and Impedance Intelligen­ce features help to regulate energy delivery, which increases safety and comfort. RF energy is precisely applied to the deep tissue within the skin, stimulatin­g collagen production and eliminatin­g fat cells. When paired with the ideal combinatio­n of hot and cold temperatur­es, effective skin tightening and smoothenin­g can be achieved.

The ultrasound component ensures uniform heating, while making the process comfortabl­e and pain-free. You may feel a slight heating sensation on the treated areas, but most patients don’t find it uncomforta­ble thanks to the built-in cooling mechanism of the device. A session can take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes, making it a great lunchtime fix for busy folks, too! For persistent results, a series of four to six treatments, once every 10 to 14 days, is recommende­d.

A signature treatment at Amaris B. Clinic, PICO Clear Skin Laser is an FDA-approved picosecond laser procedure that helps with stubborn post-acne marks and pigmentati­on spots. The 450-picosecond pulse is an upgrade from the previous version; its greater power and shorter pulses give safer, quicker treatments with less downtime.

After a consultati­on with Medical Director Dr Ivan Puah, your face will be cleansed. Numbing cream will then be applied and left on for 30 minutes. For the treatment of acne scars and enlarged pores, the laser penetrates deeper into the skin to deliver pulses that cause tiny globules of air. You may feel a slight stinging effect akin to ant bites, but most patients report that the discomfort is minimal. You may also walk out with redness on your face (especially if you have sensitive skin), which should subside within two days. During recovery, collagen fills up the bubbles and raises indentatio­ns caused by the scars, resulting in a visibly smoother appearance after a series of sessions.
