Hello Victoria,

Some contraindications of Exilis treatment include but are not limited to burns in the area, poor healing in the area, collagen disorders, metal implants or IUDs. Scar tissue in the treatment area is not one of the contraindications of treatment with Exilis.

Hello,

Laser Hair Removal treatments are spaced out about 4-6 weeks, and most people begin to see results in 3-5 treatments, however some may need more depending on skin type, and color and thickness of the hair follicle. With hair growth being a side effect of PCOS, Laser Hair Removal may have different results than a typical patient as the cause for growth in the area is different. The removal of hair may or may not be effective due to PCOS. Of course, with anything it is always best to seek an in office consultation with a reputable physician in your local area for the hair removal. 

There are several contraindications for exilis treatments. Because the system uses a grounding pad, metal implants in your body is a listed contraindication per the manufacture. 

Botox needs a few days to start working. You should start to see the results of Botox injections in approximately 5-7 days.

Some swelling after botox is normal, from the injection itself. Each patient may have a different reaction to injectible treatments. Based on the photos you posted, nothing looks abnormal at this time. My reccomendation is to continue to communicate with your injector regarding your concerns.
