Thank you for your question in regards to Exilis. Any tenderness or redness in the skin’s color around the treated areas are common and usually resolves within a day or two. Exilis uses non-laser technology and should not result in hair loss. 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.

Thank you for your question. Exilis Ultra uses radio frequency and ultrasound technology to tighten the skin, so no lasers are involved. This means that no hair is removed. We have done treatment over eyebrows and no hair was removed. The treatment should not be burning your skin or hair follicles and all hair should stay attached. I hope this helps. Talk to your health care provider for more information and clarity on the Exilis treatment.

I suspect that the inflammation and red dots will be temporary.  Exilis has not been associated with hair loss.
