Do you struggle with premature signs of aging? Have years of soaking up the sun caught up with your appearance? Many individuals struggle with wrinkles and lines caused by poor skin laxity. Surgical and nonsurgical options for skin tightening have a long history, but ongoing research and technological advancements in cosmetic procedures have given rise to innovative approaches like Exion; a cutting-edge device combining radiofrequency energy and microneedling to tailor treatments and enhance your unique beauty.
Who is Exion For?
Exion is one of few cosmetic options that are free from the use of harsh chemicals or invasive methods, earning the title as a safe procedure for all skin types and tones. However, certain candidates with darker skin tones may need to consider other treatment options. Exion serves as a two-in-one nonsurgical skin tightening alternative for anyone seeking to enhance their skin’s appearance, health, and preserve a youthful look.
The Benefits of Exion
On their own, the techniques of microneedling and radiofrequency energy offer a host of benefits. However, the duality of microneedling and radiofrequency energy delivers improved benefits to patients, including:
- Fewer lines and wrinkles
- Tighter skin
- Less acne scars
- Smaller pore size
- Reduced stretch marks
- Customized noninvasive treatment
The Exion Procedure
Exion leverages microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy simultaneously for optimized results and enhanced prevention methods. Microneedling uses tiny needles across the entire surface area. This technique injects small dosages throughout for a more uniform result. Radiofrequency targets deep into dermal layers, heating the tissue and promoting ongoing collagen production.
By creating micro-injuries, the skin’s natural strengthening and healing process is kick-started, improving skin laxity while protecting the surrounding tissue. The procedure is noninvasive, eliminating the need for numbing agents or anesthetics. The treatment area is sterilized before device application, with both technologies applied simultaneously as the device moves across the entire surface in just 30 to 45 minutes.
Exion Results and Recovery
Immediate results are apparent after Exion treatments but may be hidden behind initial redness and swelling. For optimized results, patients are usually encouraged to undergo between three and five treatment sessions to efficiently build collagen production—exact recommendations will vary depending on the severity of concerns.
Redness and swelling will typically pass after a day or two, though normal routines can be resumed immediately after surgery. Regardless, patients should still avoid applying any products or touching the treated area for 24 hours. This will ensure proper healing and minimize discomfort. it is recommended that patients avoid applying topical products to the treatment area or touching it for 24 hours. To sustain long-lasting results, patients should practice a gentle skincare routine, and apply regular sun protection.
