Who is Qualified to Use the Exilis Device on Clients?

Thanks for asking. You are wise to inquire about qualifications to utilize Excilis RF (radio frequency) skin tightening technology. Though used in many clinic/spa settings, a physician must purchase the machine, oversee its use, train and direct any non-physician treatment providers, and ultimately, accept the medicolegal liability for any malpractice claims regarding complications from misuse, negligence in care, or breach of contract.

Like lasers, which direct energy (in the form of visible or invisible light) into human tissues (without skin contact in many cases), Exilis directs energy (in the form of radio frequency) into human tissue to stimulate neocollagenesis and skin thickening/tightening. It may have a benficial effect on fat cells as well, but is not FDA-approved for that indication in the US.

"Safe" would be determined by your physician supervisor/ medical director/ owner/ and requires training and supervision beyond what a (non-physician) sales rep can provide. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen
