Exilis Face & Body Treatment: How It Works, Its Benefits and Why More People Are Choosing It

Sutha Aesthetics • 8 July 2026

Skin doesn’t lose its firmness overnight. It happens gradually: a softer jawline, skin that doesn’t bounce back the way it used to, or areas that still feel loose despite a healthy lifestyle. 



While surgery remains an option for some, many people are now looking for treatments that deliver noticeable improvements without incisions or lengthy recovery.

One treatment leading this shift is Exilis Ultra 360. Combining advanced radiofrequency (RF) and ultrasound technology, Exilis is designed to tighten skin, improve elasticity, and contour the face and body all without surgery or significant downtime.


If you’re curious about how it works and whether it could be the right treatment for your aesthetic goals, here’s everything you need to know.

What Is Exilis Face & Body Treatment?


Exilis Ultra 360 is a non-invasive skin-tightening and body-contouring treatment that combines monopolar radiofrequency (RF) and ultrasound energy to deliver controlled heat to the deeper layers of the skin and superficial fat tissue.


This carefully regulated heat stimulates your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for keeping skin firm, smooth, and resilient. 


Over time, as collagen rebuilds, the skin can appear tighter, firmer, and more refined, while body contours may look more sculpted.

Exilis face and body treatments are designed to be comfortable, require no incisions, and involve little to no downtime, allowing most people to return to their usual activities shortly after their appointment.


At Sutha Aesthetics, Exilis Ultra 360 is used to address a range of concerns, from early skin laxity and softening of the jawline to loose skin, cellulite, and stubborn areas that don’t always respond to diet and exercise. 

Every treatment begins with a personalised consultation to ensure the approach is tailored to your skin, body, and aesthetic goals.


How Does Exilis Work?

Exilis works by delivering carefully controlled heat beneath the skin’s surface using two complementary technologies.


Radiofrequency Energy

Radiofrequency gently raises the temperature of the dermis, which stimulates fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. This encourages the skin to rebuild itself over time, improving firmness and elasticity.


Ultrasound Energy

Ultrasound helps distribute this heat evenly through the treatment area while supporting precise energy delivery. Body treatments can also target superficial fat layers to help refine body contours in appropriate areas.

Together, these technologies create a controlled thermal response that promotes tissue remodelling while keeping the skin's surface comfortable throughout treatment. Rather than creating dramatic overnight changes, Exilis promotes gradual improvements that continue developing as your body’s natural collagen production increases.


Benefits of Exilis Face & Body Treatment

One of the reasons Exilis has become so popular is its versatility. It can address multiple aesthetic concerns with a single non-surgical treatment platform.

1. Firmer, Tighter Skin

As collagen production increases, the skin becomes firmer and more elastic. This can help improve mild to moderate skin laxity commonly associated with ageing, weight fluctuations, or reduced collagen production.


2. Softens Fine Lines and Wrinkles

For facial treatments, increased collagen production may help soften fine lines and enhance overall skin quality and texture.


3. Improved Facial Definition

Many patients choose Exilis to enhance natural facial contours. Areas such as the jawline, cheeks, and neck may appear more defined as skin gradually tightens.


4. Non-Surgical Body Contouring

On the body, Exilis can help refine areas that are resistant to healthy eating and regular exercise. While it isn’t a weight-loss treatment, it may improve the appearance of localised fat deposits while tightening surrounding skin.


5. Smoother-Looking Skin

By stimulating collagen and improving tissue quality, Exilis may also reduce the appearance of crepey skin and improve the look of cellulite in selected treatment areas.


6. Comfortable Treatment Experience

Unlike many energy-based procedures, Exilis is often described as feeling like a warm therapeutic massage. The device continuously monitors skin temperature to maintain both comfort and treatment effectiveness throughout the session.


7. Little to No Downtime

Perhaps one of its greatest advantages is convenience. Since there are no incisions or significant recovery periods, many people schedule appointments during their lunch break and return to work or daily activities afterwards.


Which Areas Can Exilis Treat?

Exilis Ultra 360 is designed to treat both facial and body concerns, making it a versatile option for patients seeking subtle, natural-looking improvements.


Facial Treatment Areas

Exilis can be used to improve skin firmness and definition around the:

  • Jawline
  • Neck
  • Chin
  • Cheeks
  • Décolletage

These areas are often among the first to show signs of collagen loss, making them ideal candidates for non-surgical skin tightening.


Body Treatment Areas

For the body, Exilis may be recommended for areas including:

  • Abdomen
  • Flanks
  • Upper arms
  • Thighs
  • Buttocks
  • Knees


These treatment areas commonly experience skin laxity following weight loss, pregnancy, or natural ageing.

For patients seeking comprehensive skin rejuvenation, Exilis is often incorporated into a personalised treatment plan. 


Depending on your individual concerns, your practitioner may also recommend complementary treatments such as HydraFacial to improve skin hydration and radiance or microneedling with exosomes to further support collagen production and skin renewal. 


Combining treatments isn’t always necessary, but in some cases, a tailored approach can help address multiple concerns more effectively. 



Who Is Exilis Face & Body Treatment Suitable For?

Exilis Ultra 360 is an excellent option for individuals looking to improve skin firmness and contour without surgery. 

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Have loose skin after weight loss
  • Are noticing early signs of ageing, such as fine lines or loss of skin elasticity
  • Want to improve the appearance of stubborn areas that don’t respond to diet and exercise
  • Are noticing facial ageing after GLP-1 weight loss 
  • Prefer a non-invasive treatment with little to no downtime
  • Are close to your ideal weight and looking for body contouring rather than weight loss

A consultation with a qualified practitioner is the best way to determine whether Exilis is suitable for your skin type, concerns, and desired outcomes. 

At Sutha Aesthetics, every treatment plan begins with a personalised assessment to ensure recommendations are tailored to your individual goals rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

What Happens During an Exilis Treatment?

One of the biggest advantages of Exilis is that treatments are simple, comfortable, and fit easily into most people’s schedules.

Your appointment typically begins with a consultation, where your practitioner evaluates the treatment area, discusses your concerns, and creates a customised plan based on your aesthetic goals.

During the procedure, a handheld applicator is moved across the skin while delivering controlled radiofrequency and ultrasound energy. Most patients describe the sensation as a gentle, warming massage rather than a painful treatment. 

The device continuously monitors skin temperature to help maintain comfort while ensuring optimal energy delivery.

Treatment sessions generally last between 20 and 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

Once the session is complete, you can usually return to work, exercise, or your daily routine without needing recovery time. 

When Will You See Results?

Exilis works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production; this means results develop gradually.

Some patients notice a subtle immediate tightening due to tissue heating. More meaningful changes appear progressively over 6-12 weeks as collagen strengthens and skin quality improves, with further refinement after the full course.

Depending on your concerns and treatment area, your practitioner may recommend multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart to achieve the best possible outcome.

Results can often be maintained with occasional maintenance treatments and a consistent skincare routine. Protecting your skin from sun damage, staying hydrated, and following healthy lifestyle habits can also help support long-term skin health.

Is There Any Downtime?

None. Most patients are able to resume normal activities immediately after treatment. 

Your practitioner will provide personalised aftercare recommendations to help you achieve the best results.

Why Is Exilis Becoming One of the Most Popular Non-Surgical Treatments?

As more people seek aesthetic treatments that deliver natural-looking improvements without surgery, Exilis continues to gain popularity for several reasons.

It Delivers Subtle, Natural Results

Rather than dramatically changing your appearance, Exilis works with your body’s own collagen production to create gradual improvements that often look refreshed rather than “overdone.”

It Treats Both Face and Body

Few non-invasive technologies offer the flexibility to address concerns across multiple treatment areas using the same platform. Whether you’re looking to improve jawline definition or tighten skin around the abdomen, Exilis provides a versatile treatment option.

It Fits Into Busy Lifestyles

With short appointments and virtually no downtime, Exilis is well suited for individuals who want aesthetic treatments without disrupting work, family, or social commitments.

It Can Be Part of a Personalised Treatment Plan

No two patients have the same skin concerns. Depending on your goals, Exilis may be recommended alongside treatments such as skin boosters, microneedling, HydraFacial, or medical-grade skincare to support overall skin health and rejuvenation. 

At Sutha Aesthetics, treatment plans are designed around each patient’s unique needs, ensuring every recommendation complements their long-term aesthetic goals rather than focusing on a single concern.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Exilis painful?

Most patients find Exilis comfortable. The treatment is commonly described as feeling like a warm massage, with built-in temperature monitoring helping maintain comfort throughout the session.

How many Exilis sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on your treatment area and aesthetic goals. Many patients benefit from a series of treatments, which your practitioner will recommend during your consultation.

Can Exilis help with weight loss?

No. Exilis is not a weight-loss treatment. It is designed to improve skin laxity and contour specific areas of the body. It works best for individuals who are already close to their ideal weight.

How long do the results last?

Results vary from person to person and depend on factors such as age, lifestyle, and skin quality. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to help prolong results.

Can Exilis replace a facelift?

Exilis is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who want a non-surgical solution. Those with significant skin sagging may require other treatment options, which can be discussed during a consultation.

Is Exilis suitable for all skin types?

Exilis is suitable for many skin types and tones. However, every patient’s medical history and skin concerns are different, making a professional consultation essential before treatment.

Can You Have Skin Boosters in Summer? Sunekos, Sun Exposure & What to Know Before Your Holiday

by Sutha Aesthetics • 10 June 2026
Summer is often when we want our skin to look its freshest. Holidays, weddings, garden parties and more time outdoors can all make us think a little more about hydration, radiance and skin quality. It is also the time of year when many patients ask whether aesthetic treatments are still suitable. If you are considering injectable skin boosters, especially Sunekos before a holiday, you may be wondering whether sunshine, heat or travel plans could affect your results. The reassuring answer is that skin boosters can generally be performed throughout the year, including summer. The key is timing your appointment sensibly, protecting your skin from excessive UV exposure, and following the aftercare advice given by your practitioner. At Sutha Aesthetics, skin booster treatments in Hitchin and Kings Lynn are planned around your skin, your lifestyle and your upcoming commitments, so your treatment feels considered rather than rushed.

Loose Skin After Weight Loss: Causes, Prevention & Treatment Options

by Sutha Aesthetics • 6 May 2026
You've done the hard part, losing the weight. Now you're standing in front of the mirror, proud of how far you've come, and yet something feels off. The skin just hasn't caught up. Loose skin after weight loss is one of the most common and least talked-about challenges people face, especially for those who’ve lost weight in their 40s and beyond or who’ve used weight-loss medications like Mounjaro, Ozempic, or Wegovy. These GLP-1 medications are genuinely life-changing for many people, but because they can produce rapid weight loss, they also increase the likelihood of skin laxity that the body hasn’t had time to adapt to. In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly why loose skin happens, what you can realistically do about it, and which treatment options, from gentle lifestyle changes to advanced non-surgical therapies, might be right for you. Our aim isn’t to oversell a quick fix. It’s to give you honest information so you can make the best decision for your body. What Causes Loose Skin After Weight Loss? These factors explain why loose skin after weight loss varies from person to person and why treatment approaches often need to be tailored. If you’re considering aesthetic treatments Hitchin & Kings Lynn , having this understanding can help guide more informed decisions. Loss of Collagen and Elastin Your skin's firmness relies on two proteins: collagen (which provides structure) and elastin (which allows skin to spring back into shape). When you carry extra weight for an extended period, the skin stretches to accommodate. Over time, these fibres weaken, and the skin loses some of its ability to retract, much like an elastic band that's been stretched too far for too long. Age-Related Collagen Loss From mid-30s onwards, collagen production naturally declines, and by the 40s and 50s, that decline becomes significant. This is why skin elasticity after weight loss is noticeably harder to regain as we age. Hormonal changes, particularly around menopause and perimenopause, also affect skin density and hydration, compounding the issue. How Quickly You Lost the Weight Rapid weight loss, whether through crash dieting, bariatric surgery, or GLP-1 medications such as Mounjaro or Ozempic, gives the skin very little time to adapt. Gradual weight loss of 0.5 to 1kg per week tends to result in less laxity, though this isn’t always possible or practical, especially when medication-assisted weight loss is involved. How Long the Skin Was Stretched The longer your skin has been stretched, whether for months or years, the more the underlying supportive structure may have been affected. This is not your fault; it's simply physics. Genetics and Sun Damage Some people are genetically predisposed to more resilient skin, while others aren't. Years of sun exposure also break down collagen over time, making it harder for skin to recover. Again, none of this is within your control. How to Avoid Loose Skin After Weight Loss Strength-train regularly: Building muscle beneath the skin helps fill it out and improve overall tone. Prioritise protein: Adequate protein intake (ideally 1.2–1.6g per kg of body weight) supports collagen synthesis and skin repair. Stay well hydrated: Hydrated skin is more elastic and resilient. Aim for 6 to8 glasses of water daily. Support collagen with nutrition: Vitamin C, zinc, and antioxidant-rich foods all help support skin structure. Some people also benefit from collagen supplements, though evidence is still emerging. Protect from sun damage: Daily SPF use slows the breakdown of collagen and elastin. Professional Treatment Options for Loose Skin After Weight Loss When natural methods aren't enough or when you want to accelerate results, professional treatments can make a significant difference. Here's an overview of the options: Exilis Ultra 360 Skin Tightening How it works: Exilis Ultra 360 simultaneously combines radiofrequency (RF) and ultrasound energy to tighten skin and address body concerns, making it one of the most versatile non-surgical skin-tightening options available for loose skin after weight loss. The treatment works by delivering controlled heat deep into the skin’s lower layers, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin, while an integrated cooling system protects the surface and ensures comfort throughout. The sensation is often compared to a warm hot stone massage. Unlike treatments that target only the face, Exilis Ultra 360 can be used from head to toe, making it particularly valuable for patients with skin laxity across multiple areas following significant weight loss. Best for: Mild to moderate skin laxity across face, neck, arms, abdomen and thighs; also aids fat reduction and body contouring Downtime: None; mild redness may appear for a few hours post-treatment Results: Progressive over several weeks; a course of sessions is typically recommended for optimal outcome EMFACE Non-Surgical Skin Lifting How it works: EMFACE is a needle-free, non-invasive treatment that simultaneously targets the skin and underlying facial muscles, making it one of the most comprehensive non-surgical options for facial laxity after weight loss. It combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with HIFES™ (High-Intensity Facial Electromagnetic Stimulation) to lift, tone, and tighten the face naturally without injections or downtime. For patients who have experienced facial volume loss or jowl laxity following weight loss or GLP-1 medication use, EMFACE skin tightening offers a highly effective, comfortable option. Best for: Facial laxity, jowls, jawline definition, brow lifting, overall facial firmness Downtime: None Results: Progressive improvement over 6-12 weeks; typically 4 sessions recommended 

GLP-1 Weight Loss and Facial Ageing: What Patients Need to Know

by Sutha Aesthetics • 2 April 2026
Weight-loss injections like semaglutide, tirzepatide, Mounjaro, and the growing family of GLP-1 medications have genuinely changed lives. If you're on one, the results are likely speaking for themselves: your clothes fit differently, your energy has shifted, and you feel more like yourself again. But here's something that doesn't get talked about nearly enough: what these weight loss injections facial ageing are doing to your face at the same time. This isn't a scare story. It's information you deserve to have because once you understand what's happening beneath the skin, the solution becomes obvious. And the good news is that it's entirely fixable. What Your Weight Loss Injections Are Actually Doing to Your Face GLP-1 medications work by significantly reducing appetite and accelerating fat loss across the whole body. Clinical trials show average weight reductions of 15–17%, which is substantial, and your face feels every percentage point of it. Your face is held in shape by a network of fat compartments: small, distinct pockets of fat sitting in your cheeks, temples, under your eyes, and along your jawline. These fat pads are what give your face its three-dimensional structure, its softness, and the youthful fullness that most of us take for granted until it's gone. When you lose weight rapidly, as most people do on GLP-1 medications, these facial fat compartments deflate. All of them, often at once. This is where facial volume loss after weight loss becomes most visible. The result is a face that can look hollowed, gaunt, or significantly older than it did before the weight loss began, commonly referred to as the Ozempic face. The result is a face that can look hollowed, gaunt, or significantly older than it did before the weight loss began. The cheeks sink. The temples hollow. Shadows appear under the eyes. The jawline loses its definition. And it is far more common than the clinics that prescribe these medications tend to warn patients about up front. What GLP-1 Medications Really Do to Your Skin, Muscles and Collagen The conversation around GLP-1 facial ageing goes far beyond simple fat loss. Research shows that between 20% and 40% of the weight lost with GLP-1 medications can come from lean muscle mass rather than fat. The muscle provides the underlying structural scaffolding that keeps skin lifted and contours defined in the face. Lose that scaffolding, and the skin has nothing to hold it up. There's also a nutritional element. These medications work by suppressing appetite, which means many are eating significantly less overall, and not always getting adequate levels of protein, vitamin C, and zinc. These are the exact nutrients your skin needs to produce collagen and elastin. Without them, skin quality declines faster than it otherwise would, compounding the visual effects of volume loss. The result, for many GLP-1 patients, is a face that has aged noticeably, not because of anything they've done wrong, but as a direct and predictable consequence of how these medications work. Who Is Most at Risk of Facial Volume Loss on Weight Loss Injections Not everyone experiences GLP-1 facial changes to the same degree. A few factors make a meaningful difference. Age plays the biggest role. If you're 40 or above, your skin already has less collagen and less elasticity than it did a decade ago. Rapid volume loss on top of that existing baseline is felt much more acutely; the skin simply doesn't have the resilience to adapt and redrape the way younger skin can. The amount and speed of your weight loss matters too. The more you lose, and the faster you lose it, the more pronounced the facial impact tends to be. Patients who lose more than 15% of their body weight are at the highest risk for visible facial hollowing. Lifestyle factors add up. Years of sun exposure reduce skin elasticity. Smoking accelerates collagen breakdown. If either of those applies, the effects of GLP-1 facial ageing can be more pronounced and more visible.
