Exilis Treatments Should Not be Painful
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...

Exilis is not typically painful
The vast majority of our patients do not complain of intolerable pain or discomfort with Exilis.
I agree most relate the sensation as similar to a hot stone massage.
I agree with Drs. Gross and Laverson's opinions.

Exilis Treatments Should Not Be 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.

Exilis Treatments Are Not Painful
Most of our patients relate the sensation as similar to a hot stone massage. If an area starts to get too hot, the patient informs the practitioner who can then move the treatment head to another area.

In spite of all the doctors and spa owners claiming there are NO side effects and claiming how safe it is, I am a patient who has actually done the Exilis procedure and I am having MANY side effects! By the evening of my first appointment, I was in severe pain. I had as much pain as I did after having surgery. My lower abdomen was so swollen, I looked as if I was six months pregnant. A few days later, I found a knot in my lower abdomen. It is currently 21 days after my treatment and my stomach is still swollen and I still look pregnant. The knot has increased in size. To my knowledge, Exilis is FDA approved for WRINKLES, but not for fat removal. It was only approved for wrinkles in late 2009. There is not enough research to truly KNOW all the side effects, in my opinion. I believe there will eventually be a lot of people who will come forward with many different side effects. Most spas and doctors who are making a large amount of MONEY with the Exilis will NOT advertise anything but GOOD results. They have a very biased opinion. I personally, would NEVER recommend Exilis. My health means way more to me than that!
