Typically, the only reason you wouldn't be able to have these treatments is if you had a pacemaker/cardiac device implanted currently. This requires a formal evaluation and discussion for clearance with your physician. Best, Dr. Emer.

It is okay to have RF and ultrasound based skin tightening treatments as long as you do not have any implantable cardiac devices such as a pacemaker. It is important to discuss this with your physician provider prior to treatment.
