Exilis® Pre Treatment Considerations
- Exilis is contraindicated in patients with metal implants as well as any active implanted device. Exilis is also contraindicated for women who are pregnant or lactating.
- Please be sure to share your complete medical history with uss o we can makes sure Exilis is right for you.
- Please wear comfortable clothing on the day of your treatment so we can gain access to your back/buttocks/thighs for easy placement of the ground electrode as well as the treatment area.
- No make-up, creams or lotions on skin; no jewelry. Skin should be hair free.
- If the treatment area is on your body (instead of tace), please arrive at your appointment well-hydrated. Ideally, you should hydrate the day before, the day of and the day after your treatment as this will result in a more comfortable and efficacious treatment. Additionally, we recommend light physical activity after treatment to help with lymphatic flow.
