Can screws in the knee interfere with chances of having Emtone in the abdominal area? What are the risks?

Question

I would like to get Emtone in my stomach, I do have 2 screws on my knee. Can I still get the treatment? What are the risks? Thank you

If the screws are away from the area being treated, it's ok to have Emtone. There are no risk factors as long as the metal is away from the treated area. Example no treatment on face if dental implants or braces are in the vicinity.
