Exilis: Q&A

Can Exilis Cause Severe Dizziness?
I have had several Exilis treatment on my neck and lower face/jaw area. I have also been having some serious dizziness, which I correlated to seasonal allergies, which is not an uncommon condition for me. I have suffered with sinus headaches and pressure for many years. The dizziness I have had recently, however, has been extreme, and it was a post here on RealSelf that alerted me to the fact that someone else has reported vertigo from Exilis. My last treatment gave me a serious spell.

Exilis utilizes monopolar RF energy to stimulate collagen growth by heating tissues.

The RF energy does not "beam" into deeper structures, so there is no reason other than coincidence to even consider Exilis as a causative or even contributing modality.

The symptoms you describe seem to be unrelated to Exilis and I would recommend a work up by your internist or neurologist for dizziness.
