Exilis: Q&A

Exilis - Safe for the Cheeks?

From my understanding, Exilis does both fat reduction and skin tightening. I'm only interested in the skin tightening aspect of Exilis. In fact, isn't fat reduction on the cheeks/face something negative? Who wants fat atrophy on their face...possibly looking even older. I've seen pictures of Exilis being used on the face, but not quite convinced fat reduction on the cheeks is a good thing. Thanks.

We have not seen undesirable facial fat loss or have I heard of it when using proper treatment parameters. Exilis on the face can improve wrinkles also. We often use infrared skin tighteing with SkinTyte for the face. SkinTyte and Exilis may complement each other and we... more

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.
