Exilis Ultra 360 VS Hifu
Exilis Ultra 360 Machine and HIFU are both non-invasive skin tightening treatments, but they use different technologies.
Exilis Ultra combines ultrasound and monopolar radiofrequency for immediate results, while HIFU relies on ultrasound alone and may take longer to work.
In addition, each treatment targets different depths of the skin, and treatment times and durations vary slightly.

What is the difference between Exilis & Hifu?
1.Exilis Ultra 360 & Hifu treatment areas?
Exilis Ultra 360: There are two treatment handles, one for the face and one for the body. In addition to facial wrinkle removal and firming, it is also very effective in body shaping and firming. In particular, the small working head can be used around the eyes.
Popular areas for general smoothing, toning, and fat reduction include:
◆ Arms
◆ Legs
◆ Abdomen
Hifu: Single or multiple working handles can be used on the face, neck, and body areas.
Please note: The temples, mid-face area, etc. cannot be treated.
2.What feeling druring treatment?
Exilis: Non-invasive fat dissolving and skin tightening all in one, no anesthesia, no discomfort.
Hifu: Strong tingling sensation.
How many treatments are recommended?
Regarding Hifu treatments, one treatment is usually recommended, but some people may need more. This depends on age, the area being treated, and the degree of skin sagging. To maintain results, Olelon recommends touch-ups every 6 months to prevent sagging skin.
For Exilis Ultra 360, you can see the tightening and lifting of the treated area and the improvement of wrinkles after the treatment.
The beautician should meet with the customer and formulate a corresponding treatment plan according to the customer's skin or physical condition. According to the data, each customer's waist and abdomen are reduced by 2-4 cm in a single treatment, ensuring safety and effectiveness.
Now that you know the difference between Exilis and HIFU treatments, you can make an informed decision for yourself. Of course, if you have any professional questions about the machine, or treatment options, feel free to contact Anne. Thanks in advance!
Exilis Ultra 360 Vs Hifu
Exilis Ultra 360 differs from traditional single-energy anti-aging devices, focusing on "dual-energy synergy + 360° volumetric heating" to balance full-layer anti-aging with comfort and safety. Thermage primarily uses monopolar radiofrequency, while Ultherapy primarily uses focused ultrasound. The three devices differ significantly in their principles, action levels, and focus of effect. A detailed comparison follows.
|
Comparison Dimension |
Exilis Ultra 360 |
Thermage |
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Core Energy |
Dual Energy Synergy: Monopolar RF + Focused Ultrasound (US) |
Single Energy: Monopolar RF (Radiofrequency) |
Single Energy: High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) |
|
Heating Method |
360° Volumetric Heating, uniform heating across all layers, no local energy peaks |
Spot RF Heating, focusing on dermis to fascia layer, local thermal effect |
Single-Point Focused Ultrasound Heating, energy concentrated on a single focal point, local high-energy impact |
|
Penetration Depth |
0–10mm, covering epidermis, dermis, fat layer, deep fascia/ligaments (full-layer coverage) |
2.4–4.5mm, mainly acting on dermis and superficial fascia |
1.5–4.5mm (face), 8–13mm (body), mainly acting on SMAS fascia and fat layer |
|
Core Principle |
RF heating induces collagen contraction + ultrasound enhances cell activity; EFC system monitors temperature in real time; integrated cooling system protects epidermis, achieving three-in-one effects: tightening, fat reduction, and lifting. |
RF thermal effect stimulates collagen denaturation and regeneration; temperature control system protects epidermis, focusing on dermis tightening and wrinkle reduction. |
Ultrasound energy focuses on deep tissues, generating mechanical stress and thermal effect, stimulating fascia contraction and collagen regeneration, focusing on deep lifting. |
|
Core Advantages |
Full-layer anti-aging (tightening + fat reduction + lifting), 360° uniform heating, high comfort, no downtime, applicable to face and body. |
Significant dermis tightening effect, easy operation, suitable for various skin types, focusing on facial anti-aging. |
Outstanding deep lifting effect, non-invasive, no epidermal damage, focusing on facial contour remodeling. |
|
Limitations |
Deep lifting strength is slightly inferior to HIFU; multiple treatments are needed to consolidate results. |
No fat reduction effect; limited deep lifting effect; slight pain during treatment. |
No fat reduction effect; obvious pain during treatment; potential epidermal irritation (for models without cooling system). |
Core differences
The core competitiveness of Exilis Ultra 360 lies in "dual energy synergy + 360° volumetric heating", which solves the pain points of Thermage (no fat reduction, weak lifting) and HIFU (obvious pain, no fat reduction), achieving full-scene and full-layer anti-aging for face and body. Thermage focuses on dermis tightening, while HIFU focuses on deep lifting-all three are complementary but differ in core principles and effect priorities.
