Exilis Skin Tightening and Body Contouring – Thrive Aesthetic and Wellness, Portland, Oregon

At Thrive Aesthetic and Wellness, we understand that our patients seek effective results without the need for surgery or downtime. Our Exilis treatments in Portland, Oregon, offer a combination of skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and fat reduction, helping you look and feel your absolute best.

We tackle fat reduction, whether in a specific area or on the whole body

Fat reduction could be medical weight loss, which considers the person as a whole, specific fat loss that focuses on reducing fat in a specific area of the body, or a combination of both. Minimally-invasive procedures like Lipodissolve, which involves little to no downtime, are included in treatments.

Fat removal. We typically try to address that by looking at what their specific goals are. And we have medical weight loss here, which addresses the person as a whole. And then we have specific weight loss or fat loss reduction, body contouring procedures, and that’s more for stubborn areas of fat, like love handles or the abdomen or inner outer thighs, or maybe the chin in the neck area where it’s more genetic fat that just really will not respond to diet and exercise. So sometimes we have a combination of both, where we do some medical weight loss along with some of the fat reduction procedures, including lipo dissolve, which is a minimally invasive procedure. Very little to no downtime at all. It’s a great alternative to surgical liposuction, and it basically just dissolves the fat and your body will flush it out and reduce the size of the area.

Here are the most common questions our patients ask about Exilis:

What is Exilis?

Exilis is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to heat deep tissues while keeping the skin surface comfortable and safe. This energy boosts collagen production for tighter, smoother skin and reduces stubborn fat cells that resist diet and exercise when applied to the body.

What are the benefits of Exilis for the face?

Exilis is one of the most effective non-surgical anti-aging treatments available today. On the face, it can:

• Tighten sagging skin by stimulating collagen remodeling
• Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
• Improve jawline definition and neck laxity
• Provide a non-surgical alternative to a facelift

Patients love that Exilis helps restore a youthful, natural look without needles, incisions, or downtime.

What are the benefits of Exilis for the body?

When applied to the body, Exilis targets fat reduction and body contouring. It helps:

• Reduce stubborn fat pockets that resist diet and exercise
• Tighten and smooth skin for improved tone and texture
• Sculpt problem areas without surgery or liposuction

Common body treatment areas include:

• Abdomen
• Back
• Love handles / flanks
• Arms
• Inner & outer thighs
• Knees
• Chin and jowls

How is Exilis different from liposuction?

Unlike surgical liposuction, Exilis is completely non-invasive. There are no incisions, no anesthesia, and no downtime. Patients return to their normal activities immediately, while still seeing progressive contour and skin quality improvements.

Does Exilis work for both fat reduction and skin tightening?

Yes! That’s what makes it unique. Exilis reduces unwanted fat while also tightening the surrounding skin. This combination helps avoid the “loose skin” that sometimes follows weight loss or fat removal alone.

What can I expect during treatment at Thrive Aesthetic and Wellness?

Before beginning, Dr. Adam Maddox and our team perform a personalized evaluation to design a treatment plan tailored to your goals. During treatment, radiofrequency energy is applied safely and comfortably to targeted areas. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm massage.

When will I see results?

Patients may notice some changes after just one treatment, with the best results appearing 2-3 months after a full treatment series. Improvements continue to develop as collagen rebuilds and fat cells are naturally eliminated by the body.

Is Exilis safe?

Yes. Exilis has been clinically tested and FDA-cleared for both skin tightening and fat reduction. At our office, our treatments are performed under the supervision of Dr. Maddox and his expert team to ensure comfort and safety.

Can Exilis be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. We often combine Exilis with the Vanquish for enhanced body contouring results. This dual approach can more effectively target stubborn areas like love handles, muffin tops, and “banana rolls” under the glutes.
