I am interested in tightening up some wrinkles under my eyes and also removing some cellulite. Is the Exilis a Laser treatment? All I can find is that is uses heat. WHat are the worst side effects short and long term? Thanks for any input.

Exilis Treatment
Tylie, Exilis is a radio-frequency device that is a FDA approved skin tightening device. Radiofrequency is a form of energy that causes your skin to heat up and stimulate collagen and tighten skin. In regards to your question of "what are the worst side effects" Exilis is a very safe procedure. We have not seen any worse side effects aside from some mild tenderness. Hope this helps!

Exilis treatment and side effects
We have found excellent results in our practice with Exilis. It is ideal for skin tightenting particularly of sagging skin of the face , around the eyes and even the hanging skin of the arms. It is a safe treatment with only the very uncommon side effect of a minor localized skin burn from the heat f the device. This is reported but rare and we have not seen it in our practice.
