Does metal inside one's body permit for Exilis, Coolsculpting or Vanquish treatments?

Question

I have had a spinal fusion with titanium pedicle screws from L1-S1. I also have a permanent metal retainer in my mouth and want to get rid of a double chin. Will all this metal be a problem for Vanquish, Coolsculpting or Exilis treatments? Which one is recommended if one has metal in their body?

J. Jason Wendel, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question in regards to Exilis. It is not suggested to have radio frequency treatment performed on or around areas of the body which may contain metal. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.
