Exilis - Safe for the Cheeks?

Exilis' infrared modality to be used on the face

Exilis For the Face....
The Exilis machine has two hand pieces. It has a large body hand piece which is used for fat reduction and skin tightening. This large "body" hand piece is not meant for the face. There is another hand piece that is much smaller and it is used specifically for the face and neck strictly to tighten the skin. This small hand piece does not reduce body fat.
Hope this explanation helps.
