Is it safe to have Exilis and Coolsculpting together on abdomen?

Question

I just had coolsculpting on lower and upper abdomen. I also had acoustic wave over to break up crystals. I am extremely swollen and sore to the touch. 2nd lower appt. not for 6 weeks. But the technician wants to do exilis next session. I am concerned that my reaction to the coolsculpting should not be further traumatized by Exilis. Especially that I won’t feel heat discomfort if I am numb from coolsculpting, Should I wait to receive Exilis after healing from 2nd session.

Thank you for your question in regards to Exilis treatments. Coolsculpting can cause temporary numbness to areas treated which can be a contradiction for Exilis treatments. It is best to wait until you are completely healed and regain full sensory back before beginning Exilis. 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.

Coolsculpting and Exilis would work great together as they both work differently.  Coolsculpting freezes fat and exilis increases the collagen and elastin in the skin to cause a tightening.

Combining both CoolSculpting and Exillis is a wonderful way to treat the abdomen. They will both work in different ways and improve results in the long term. However some patients do report tenderness after CoolSculpting so it may be worth leaving a week or 2 apart post treatment before commencing with Exillis.

Hello there,
     If you have any numbness from Coolsculpting, Exilis is a contraindication. Your skin needs to sense the heat and respond to it. Also you will not be able to alert the provider if you are getting too warm. Once your full sensation returns, then Exilis will be a great option. Hope this helps.
