Is there a problem with having BTL Exilis if I have a titanium implant & nail in face?

Question

During the surgery I had due to the fracture in my cheekbone, a titanium implant plate and nail were placed on my face. I want to have BTL elixis laser, is there any problem?

Radiofrequency energy in Exilis can heat up any metallic object in the field. This includes even simple jewellery so Titanium implants are no exception. Although implants are a contraindication, there are patients who get Exilis over these implants without any issues. The same scenario holds true for the usage of other energy-based devices such as HIFU. The doctor treating your problem should take a call.
