Located on the 7th floor of the Shaw Medical Centre, the place is easily accessible for many.
I had a consultation with Dr Bryan Lim before I proceed with Exilis using the Exilis Elite Machine as I had a concern to firm up my face and improve the overall texture. I was told to be well-hydrated by drinking at least 10 glasses of water the day before, the day of and the day after my treatment. This will result in a more comfortable and efficacious treatment. Additionally, avoid doing anything that will irritate the skin immediately before treatment (e.g. sunbathing).
Information about technology:
Exilis Elite® for Skin Tightening (Face)
Exilis Elite® is an award-winning, FDA-approved device that is used to tighten and smoothen loose skin on the face. It is ideal for both men & women in their thirties to sixties, who don’t want to undergo a surgical face lift.
How does Exilis Elite® work?
Exilis Elite® uses an advanced form of radiofrequency to heat the deep layers of the skin, whilst protecting the outer layer. Heating in this area, without damaging the outer layers of skin, causes microscopic changes to the tissues and collagen contraction, with subsequent collagen remodelling over the months that pass. Treatments are tolerable, have no healing time and give immediate results. You are able to resume all your usual activities straight after. A series of treatments is usually required for optimal results.
How safe is Exilis Elite® for skin tightening?
Exilis Elite® is a clinically proven and safe treatment technology. There are rarely any side effects, but some patients may experience a mild redness that subsides 1-2 hours after the treatment.
What kind of results can I expect from Exilis Elite® treatments for skin tightening?
Immediately following the treatment, your skin will feel tighter, with more tightening improvements appearing gradually over the months after treatment. Exilis Elite® can also be used to enhance a variety of treatments including IPL & laser skin rejuvenation and acne treatment. If there is a significant amount of redundant or sagging skin, often seen in older patients over sixty, combining RF treatments with Botox and Filler treatments, or a surgical face-lift to remove the excess skin, are other options to achieve a better result.
Each treatment session is about 60 minutes for the face. This is completed with a Gentlewaves®LED treatment to improve the skin’s healing process.
Are Exilis Elite® treatments painful?
Expect to feel a heating sensation during the treatment, which is generally very well tolerated. This is one of the reasons for its popularity.
What is the difference between Exilis Elite® and Laser/IPL?
Firstly, Exilis Elite® works by heating up the deeper layers without damaging the skin’s surface, and is meant for skin tightening. Laser and IPL work in the upper layers of the skin and is meant for more superficial skin issues such as pigmentation, acne, spider veins, tone and texture.
Secondly, Exilis Elite® treatments are suitable for all skin colors, including dark and pigmented skin. Unlike lasers and IPL, Exilis Elite® energy is “color blind” meaning that it has no affinity to skin pigmentation, such as melanin.
Who is not suitable for Exilis Elite® treatments?
§ If you have active skin disease or infection in the area treated.
§ If you are pregnant.
§ If you have any metal implants or electrical device in your body e.g. pacemakers

Let’s GO!
Here you go! Do you see that blue light?
Depending on the clinical guidelines based on the individual requirements, the time required for individual on different parts vary. The heat increased gradually whereby you might feel a bit hot on the 2nd cycle especially near the bones area as the temperature was supposed to go up to 40 degrees celsius and sustained for 15 mins to be effective. The machine itself would regulate accordingly so that it does not go beyond for safety reasons. However, in my opinion the heat threshold varies differently for different individual.
Take a look at the video below to see how the treatment was done on my face.
Session 1:
You could make a comparison and from the after photo which was taken right after the treatment, it appeared slightly red and swollen but the face looked visibly brighter.

Session 2:
This photo was taken right after my 2nd treatment without any face makeup, you could see another improvement. With the improved skin quality and firmness I felt more confidence to go with lesser makeup. We ladies all love minusing the ages off our faces doesn’t it? Let’s see what it does for me on my 3rd and 4th session.
Session 3:
3rd session was a bit different as I was doing my 1st ever eyebrow embroidery from Beauty Hope, the therapist was very thoughtful to cover up so as not to affect the embroidery. My comical look for the session so you are welcome to enjoy and have a tiny laugh over it. LOL. I myself find it funny! Hahahaha!
Here comes the gel again…

Generally, no special care is needed after treatment. However it is recommended to increase the application of moisturizing lotions or creams to the treatment area or use a hydrating mask as often as possible. The recommended is 4 session each time and would be great if you could continue with the next package of 4 sessions for maintenance which is only advisable 3 months later.
