Is the Exilis Treatment Painful?

No, Exilis treatments should not be painful. The tissue will become warm and the skin may remain slightly red or pink for several hours following the treatment. However, if done properly patients undergoing Exilis should remain comfortable during the entire process.

When performed by an expert dermatologist, side effects are very rare. During an Exilis treatment, you will feel the heat from the radiofrequency waves, but it's not painful. What’s even better is that there is no down time after this procedure and you can return to your normal routine immediately after the session.

Exilis treatments should not be painful. In fact, no numbing is used during the treatment because it is very important for the provider to be aware of any discomfort that the patient is experiencing. 

 The facial treatments feel very warm and most patients find them relaxing; if pain is felt, the provider immediately stops treating and adjusts the device to maintain patient comfort.

The body treatments do feel like a hot stone massage.  Sometimes the stretch marks may get a little sensitive, but again one should not be in pain.

Hydration is key.  If patients are well-hydrated prior to their appointments the skin is well-hydrated and this translates to a much more comfortable patient.
