Exilis ELITE is the best solution for someone who wants to tighten the skin of the face and body, but with a non surgical treatment that is safe, effective and relatively quick.

The Latest Technology

Exilis ELITE is a treatment designed to focus varying depths of precise heat, cooling, and temperature monitoring, which means that it firms up the skin without any pain or downtime. This updated device is twice as powerful and effective as the original Exilis treatment system.

Versatile Treatment for Natural Results

Exilis ELITE can help men and women of all ethnic groups. Exilis ELITE is perfect for addressing specific, areas of concern to simultaneously melt fat and firm the skin. Results are gradual over multiple sessions, so they look natural, but still provide faster gratification than the months or possibly years of working out.

Exilis ELITE for the Body

Do you have a bulge that just won’t budge? Exilis ELITE can flatten and firm those tough to reach areas of the body.

Abdomen

Whether it’s from enjoying the holiday food assortment too much or that belly pooch that just won’t go away after having children, the abdomen is one of the most common areas for effective Exilis ELITE treatments.

Arms

Hanging, flabby arms are an unpleasant effect of weight gain and loss, and aging. Now you can you can reduce the circumference of your arms with Exilis ELITE.

Legs & Ankles

Some areas of the legs are just not an ideal shape, but not worth major surgery. Exilis ELITE can help with thick ankles, known as “cankles” and the fat above the knees.

Thighs

There are areas of the torso that can benefit from Exilis ELITE. It can help melt away love handles, back or bra fat, and muffin top. The torso area including male breasts and love handles or obliques are the most popular areas to treat for men.

Eyes

EXILIS ELITE Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re looking for a revolutionary treatment to restore your youthfulness, melt fat and cellulite at the same time, then EXILIS ELITE could be your answer. EXILIS ELITE is FDA approved to be used for reducing wrinkles and firming up loose skin, and an added benefit of the technology is that it melts fat and stimulates collagen production, too. Read more to answer some of the most frequently asked questions I hear about EXILIS ELITE.

How does EXILIS ELITE work?

EXILIS ELITE uses thermal energy that is generated by the most advanced monopolar radio frequency. The dual control handpiece has both DTC (Dermal Temperature Control) and EFC (Energy Flow Control) to protect the skin from heat that could harm it, while simultaneously generating consistent energy for dependable results.

The handpiece generates heat within the treatment area to cause the targeted fat cells to break down. This process of reducing fatty deposits also causes the sub dermal collagen to remodel and tighten, resulting in firmer skin.

Will EXILIS ELITE treat all fat?   

EXILIS ELITE radio frequency depth penetration addresses the subcutaneous fat. This is superficially located just below the skin and above the muscle.

What parts of the body can be treated with EXILIS ELITE?

The built in cooling system makes EXILIS ELITE safe for reducing loose skin and excess fat anywhere on the body. This includes the face, neck, jowels, décolletage, arms, back or bra fat, abdomen, love handles, thighs, knees, etc.

When will I see results?


You may see immediate results, but maximum results are experienced incrementally over 3 to 6 months after the last treatment. EXILIS ELITE treatments are usually done 1 to 2 weeks apart with visible fat reduction ranging from 1 to 6 inches of volume loss after 4 treatment sessions.

How long are treatments?

Each treatment, depending on the area of the body, takes about 30 to 45 minutes, but we ask you to allow an hour. This non invasive procedure can be accomplished on your lunch break from work. There is no downtime and normal activity can resume immediately. For treatments to areas of the face, there may be some mild redness and mild swelling, but this can easily be covered with mineral makeup.

What does the procedure feel like?

EXILIS ELITE is a safe and comfortable procedure, requiring no numbing cream or anesthesia. The treatments are comfortable and pain free by targeting the proper amount of energy while simultaneously heating and cooling the skin.

I hope that I’ve been able to answer your top questions so that you can see how revolutionary the EXILIS ELITE treatment is for firming skin, reducing cellulite and melting fat. Let’s talk about what EXILIS ELITE can do for you. www.DrCovey.com

Melt Fat and Tighten Skin Without Surgery

Roll out the red carpet of non-invasive anti aging procedures because EXILIS ELITE is coming through! We are excited to offer you a very effective, pain free solution to sagging skin and stubborn fat. EXILIS ELITE therapy is the latest technology when it comes to aesthetic procedures for body contouring and skin tightening.

Lasers are very versatile and typically a great way to melt fat and tighten skin without surgery, but even they have a minor discomfort. I am pleased to offer another option, EXILIS ELITE. EXILIS ELITE is a clinically proven treatment to eliminate fat deposits and firm up the skin with absolutely no discomfort or downtime.

How Does EXILIS ELITE Work?

EXILIS ELITE uses the most advanced and sophisticated thermal energy available to give patients real results without surgery or downtime. Its clinically proven and FDA approved technology uses the most advanced monopolar radio frequency energy. This energy is directed through a dual function handpiece to target specific treatment areas. EXILIS ELITE provides maximum power with total control. By volumetrically heating the area, it causes the subdermal collagen support tissues under the skin to remodel and tighten and the fat to melt. Firmer and flatter skin without any pain or discomfort is the result.

What Can EXILIS ELITE Do?

With just the right amount of thermal energy, EXILIS ELITE gently, yet effectively contours the face and body. It can tighten, firm up, and tone sagging or loose skin on pretty much any area of the face or body. Stubborn fatty deposits melt away while the skin is tightened so there isn’t any saggy skin left once the fat is gone. All of this with no numbing or anesthesia, no incision, and no downtime.

EXILIS ELITE can tighten and tone these areas:

  • face
  • jowls
  • neck
  • chest
  • back
  • “love handles”
  • “bra fat”
  • abdomen
  • thighs
  • hips and buttocks
  • knees

EXILIS ELITE is ideal for people who would like their weight loss and toning to look like a natural progression. It usually takes a couple of treatments to achieve the desired end results. This gradual melting of fat and tightening of the skin along the way looks more natural because it is not a dramatic overnight change.

EXILIS ELITE Benefits in a Nutshell

  1. FDA approved treatment that has been scientifically proven and clinically tested world wide
  2. fast, safe and effective
  3. treats all areas of the face and body
  4. results are gradual, lasting and measureable
  5. precise and targeted to correct deep skin problems as well as problems located at the surface of the skin
  6. offers circumferential reduction
  7. effectively treats cellulite
  8. non-invasive
  9. no downtime
  10. comfortable treatment without pain
  11. no anesthesia necessary

I hope this introduction to EXILIS piqued your interest because in the following weeks we’ll discuss this procedure more completely. In the meantime, visit www.DrCovey.com to learn more or schedule a consultation to see how EXILIS ELITE can help you achieve a younger, healthier body in 2015.

For the Body of your Dreams…. Get “Body Sculpted”

My last couple blogs focused on Body Reshaping and an overview of a few of the amazing tools I employ to achieve my patients’ goals.  Body Sculpting, Refining, Reshaping and Body Contouring (interchangeable terms) is so popular among Baby Boomers, GenX and the Millennials today…thus the reason for my stayed focus on it.  Body Reshaping is safe and effective…is used for various body areas…and it is here to stay.

BodyChanging the size, profile or parameters of the anatomy and refining those areas is what Body Sculpting is all about. There are various methods used for achieving the “perfect body” or “body of your dreams.”

CAREFUL PLANNING is REQUIRED…

TO ACHIEVE YOUR MOST DESIRABLE RESULTS for BODY CONTOURING.

WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE TO HAVE BODY SCULPTING:

  • To tighten loose skin after dramatic weight loss
  • Restore a PrePregnancy Body after Childbirth
  • Tighten up loose, saggy skin and remove excess fat pockets
  • Eliminate unwelcome Cellulite and “dimples” it causes
  • Be able to wear stylish clothing of your choice
  • Sculpt a healthy, trim, firm and contoured body
  • Achieve the “refined” body they’ve always wanted
  • Restore self confidence and boost self esteem
  • Look as fabulous and healthy as you feel!

WHEN IS A GOOD TIME TO HAVE BODY SCULPTING DONE?  This is the most frequent questions I get from patients.  MY ANSWER:

This answer will vary with each patient since no two people are the same.  But, you should be in good general health, and at a stable weight…for at least three months before starting on your personalized treatment program.  Continuing a healthy, active lifestyle and weight management is critical to enjoying your long term results.

THE GOAL OF ALL BODY SCULPTING/CONTOURING is to achieve balance and harmony for the entire body.  Thus, treating the body “as a whole” and never as isolated parts.

Since, patients often choose multiple body areas for refining, a combination of treatments may be required to accomplish the desired goals.

A REVIEW OF TREATMENTS I OFFER MY PATIENTS

SMARTLIPO TRIPLEXTM  for Body Sculpting. .  It involves removing unwanted fat from body areas that have resisted even the strictest diet and most rigorous workouts. SmartLipo accomplishes more than liposuction with less invasiveness and amazing precision!

Other treatments are often used in combo with liposuction/lipolysis for the neck, jawline, inner arms, men’s breasts, abs and love handles, women’s bra fat (overhang) inner/outer thighs, inner knees, chin, hips, buttocks, pubic mound, back of neck, such as skin tightening using Exilis, Mesotherapy or Cellulaze etc. See my website for more info on these amazing options:  http://www.DrCovey.com.

EXILIS offers the newest advances in non surgical skin tightening to reduce unwanted inches and to lift and contour sagging skin anywhere on your body!  CELLULAZE LASER treatments attack cellulite where it originates…under the skin. One treatment can result in smoother skin on your abs, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms and anywhere cellulite occurs.

Every generation today is concerned with anti aging!  So, treatments are geared to turning back the clock…today’s Filler FaceLifts take years off an aging face by restoring youthfulness.  New Voluma, Botox, Juvederm, Belotero, Dysport, Perlane, Radiesse and Restylane injectables eliminate and smooth out lines and wrinkles. Laser treatments remove age/sun spots, acne and more, and are part of safe, effective treatments patients choose daily to slow down the signs of aging.

Call soon for your consultation and let’s get started on your Body Refining and age defying program!

Helping You Be Your Very Best,

Dr. Covey


SMART LIPOSUCTION and POWER LASERS for Today’s BODY SCULPTING

Now is the time to get your “beach body” in shape again.  shutterstock_49320346

Body sculpting, contouring and refining is one of our most in demand procedures for both men and women.  This blog enhances previous blogs by pulling together information about 3 powerful treatments that can “sculpt a better body” with results in only one treatment…and refinement continuing over time.

RESHAPE, REDEFINE and RESTRUCTURE

EXILIS CAN and WILL TRANSFORM YOUR APPEARANCE!

It is the most exciting non surgical technology available for redefining the face and body. Look at these benefits:

·      No surgery, no anesthesia, no downtime!

·      FDA approved most advanced radio frequency energy to tighten loose skin, melt stubborn fat, resculpt body/facial contours

·      Correct amount of thermal energy delivered safely/effectively

·      Face, Jowls, Neck, Chest, Back, Love Handles, Bra Fat, Abdomen, Thighs, Hips, Buttocks and Knees…are the most popular areas being treated today.

EXILIS is one of many excellent treatments I offer that have revolutionized the fight against fat and cellulite.

Beautiful Body Sculpting and Refined Body Contouring really is possible!

SMARTLIPO TRIPLEXTM is the most advanced (light laser) fat removal system. It actually melts fat, stimulates skin tightening and encourages collagen renewal.  This TriPlex laser employs three wave lengths of light and a tiny cannula the size of a small ballpoint pen tip.  These advances allow for precision fat removal and sculpting in small, hard to get to places that could not be effectively treated with older methods.  Look at the tremendous benefits:

·      Minimally invasive due to small cannula means less swelling, bruising and shorter downtimes

·      Enables precise high definition body sculpting like waistlines/abs

·      Fat is liquefied and removed resulting in smooth contouring

·      TriPlex laser stimulates skin tightening effect

·      Multiple, intelligent delivery systems ensure safest, maximum laser strength

·      Treatments are done in office using local anesthesia

SmartLipo TriPlex offers better results, more effective fat removal, tighter skin and amazing high definition body sculpting. See: www.drcovey.com.

CELLULAZE…THE ONLY LASER ABLE TO ATTACK CELLULITE WHERE IT COUNTS…in the foundation!

CELLULITE is RELENTLESS!  You can see it on your thighs, buttocks, stomach, upper arms and other body areas.  Strict diets, rigorous exercise, weight training and high intensity exercises are great for weight loss, weight control and strength building, but they do not eliminate cellulite! Women hate it and wage virtual wars trying to be rid of it! CELLULAZE is the third tool you must know about in your quest for body sculpting, toning, shaping and contouring. 

CELLULAZEtm LASER is the world’s first minimally invasive way of attacking cellulite where it begins…under the skin!  You can have smoother skin on your abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks and arms, or anywhere cellulite appears, with just one treatment.

·      Cellulaze is a simple, in office treatment with little to no downtime

·      It melts excess fat under the skin

·      Removes the fibrous band that pulls the skin into dimples

·      Cellulaze stimulates collagen production which thickens skin

·      Uses a very small cannula with Sidelight 3Dtm technology

·      The technology directs laser thermal energy into the treatment zone

·      Lumpy fat pockets are diminished, skin depressions released and skin elasticity and skin thickness improves

·      Some results are seen immediately with ongoing improvement

My patients love Cellulazetm Laser treatments because they get results!  Visit my website for more info: www.drcovey.com.

 

IF YOU’VE TRIED ALL THE OTHER PROGRAMS AND TREATMENTS…WHY NOT TRY THE ONE PROVEN TO REALLY WORK.  IT’S THE BEST!!

Let’s talk soon and “design” your own personal treatment plan.  Beach Days will be here soon!

New Exilis Transforms Appearances!

We are thrilled to introduce Exilis™, the most exciting new non-surgical technology available to redefine your face and body, with no anesthesia and no downtime. Clinically tested and FDA approved, Exilis uses the most advanced radio frequency energy to tighten loose skin, melt fat and resculpt facial and body contours during fast, comfortable and painless treatments.

Exilis Results

Exilis gives us maximum power with total control. Now we can safely and effectively deliver the right amount of thermal energy in order to tighten, firm up, and tone sagging skin and reshape and melt stubborn fatty deposits anywhere on your face and body – with no incisions, no anesthesia, and no downtime! Popular areas treated include the face, jowls, neck, chest, back, “love handles”, “bra fat”, abdomen, thighs, hips buttocks and knees.

Here’s how Exilis works: a computer controlled hand piece is guided over the treatment area precisely delivering the most effective amount of the revolutionary monopolar radio frequency (RF) thermal energy in order to give you the best result.

For skin tightening, the RF energy is directed straight to the dermal layer of your skin. The energy stimulates the collagen layer causing it to remodel into a stronger, more youthful configuration resulting in firmer skin.

For fat reduction, the RF energy targets the fat deposits located deeper under the skin. The liquefied fat is then excreted by your body’s own natural processes resulting in a slimmer looking silhouette.

Exilis is painless so it does not require any special numbing cream or anesthesia and, best of all, you can resume normal activities immediately after treatment!

For best results, we recommend a series of quick treatments designed to fit your needs. Results are immediate and progressive. Many patients may see results immediately with optimal results visible within three months of the treatments.

Call us today to see how Exilis can help you look your best. Visit our website to learn more and see before and after pictures.
