Exilis Skin Tightening

Exilis is a safe, non-surgical option

If you have severe laxity of the neck, you need the knife. If you have a lot of neck fat, you need liposuction, but if you have mild to moderate laxity and not grossly overweight, Exilis is FABULOUS. Patient selection is important, but it is the best non-surgical device i have ever seen.

Exilis and neck lift

In my opinion, the only danger you face is a disappointing result and loss of money with these procedures.  Tring to tighten a neck without some type of incision is very difficult and the patients I have seen have been disappointed with it.  Make sure you are seeing a board - certified plastic surgeon.

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!
