Exilis Elite Thermolift (Radiofrequency Skin Tightening)

Exilis Elite thermolift at Eva Clinic uses monopolar radiofrequency energy to heat the dermis and subcutaneous tissue of the face, neck, and décolletage to a precisely controlled therapeutic temperature, stimulating collagen contraction and new collagen synthesis without surface damage. The Exilis Elite handpiece combines RF with ultrasound energy to achieve superior tissue heating uniformity and depth of penetration compared to single-modality RF devices. Treatment zones include the face, periorbital area, submentum (double chin), neck, and décolletage. Sessions are comfortable — described as warm deep tissue heating — and require no downtime. MUDr. Chovančíková offers 4-session package pricing that represents meaningful savings versus individual sessions.

Exilis Elite (BTL Aesthetics) is a combined radiofrequency and focused ultrasound platform designed for non-invasive thermal tissue remodelling. Unlike traditional monopolar RF devices that heat tissue in a fixed, non-uniform pattern, Exilis Elite uses a proprietary Energy Flow Control (EFC) system that continuously monitors the treatment area's thermal response and modulates RF delivery in real time to maintain a consistent deep-tissue temperature within the therapeutic window for collagen contraction (typically 40–44°C in the deep dermis). The addition of ultrasound energy serves two purposes: it enhances coupling of RF energy into the tissue by reducing interface resistance, and it produces its own deep-tissue mechanical stimulation (acoustic pressure waves) that further activates fibroblast collagen production through a mechanotransduction pathway distinct from thermal stimulation. The combined modality approach results in deeper, more uniform tissue heating than single-modality RF. At Eva Clinic, the Exilis Elite is applied using a smooth handpiece moved continuously across the treatment surface in slow circular strokes. For facial applications, the practitioner pauses briefly over areas of greater tissue thickness (cheeks, jowl zone) to allow adequate thermal accumulation, then moves quickly across thinner periorbital skin to avoid overheating. A thermographic skin monitor verifies the surface temperature does not exceed safe limits throughout. Treatment zones at Eva Clinic include: - **Face + submentum:** Addresses cheek laxity, jowl formation, chin-neck angle - **Jawline + submentum:** Targeted jaw definition and double-chin reduction - **Face + neck + décolletage:** Comprehensive full upper-body skin quality treatment The thermal stimulus triggers two distinct biological responses: immediate collagen fibre denaturation and contraction (perceptible as instant tightening beginning during or just after the session), and delayed collagen neosynthesis (new Type I collagen produced over 3–6 months post-treatment). Results continue to develop for up to 6 months after the final session in a 4-session course, with the most dramatic improvements in clients with mild to moderate laxity. Each session is 25–30 minutes. Side effects are limited to temporary skin redness and mild warmth lasting 1–2 hours. There is no healing period, no dressings required, and no activity restrictions. Contraindications include active skin infection, metal implants in the treatment area, electronic implants, pregnancy, and severe rosacea.
