The Ultimate Skin Solution: A Breakthrough Microneedling & Radiofrequency Treatment
What is EXION Fractional RF Microneedling?
EXION RF Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that combines the collagen-inducing benefits of microneedling and the tissue-tightening advantages of radiofrequency energy to improve your skin’s overall appearance, texture, and health. Also, by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI), this treatment can reach up to 8mm of depth without a full needle insertion, reducing your discomfort and maximizing results for a single-pass procedure.
What is EXION Face?
Designed for more delicate areas of the face, the EXION Face applicator boosts hyaluronic acid without using any needles. By combining monopolar RF and targeted ultrasound, this treatment can stimulate the fibroblasts within those deeper layers of the skin. This stimulation increases hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin production, enhancing skin firmness, hydration, and overall appearance.
How Does EXION Fractional RF Microneedling Work?
Exion works by combining the benefits of microneedling and radio frequency, enhancing the effectiveness of both treatments.
Microneedling Alone
Microneedling uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin that cause it to start a natural repair process, generating the production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin. These proteins help improve your skin’s strength and elasticity.
Radiofrequency (RF) Alone
Radiofrequency takes low-energy radiation and heats the deeper layers of your skin to encourage collagen structures to tighten and increase production, helping to firm and tighten your skin.
Microneedling & Radiofrequency (RF) Working Together
EXION RF Microneedling combines the treatments above to directly deliver radiofrequency energy into deeper layers of the skin for a more direct and less invasive approach. With the thermal gradient below the needle, it can reach greater depths without needing to be fully inserted. This helps maximize the production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin with minimal discomfort.

Before & After
Frequently Asked Questions
Is EXION painful?
EXION RF Microneedling is minimally invasive (EXION Face is non-invasive) and generally well-tolerated by most patients. Some individuals may experience mild warmth or a prickling sensation in the administered areas during treatment. While numbing cream can be applied beforehand to minimize any discomfort, many find the procedure tolerable without it. However, individual experiences with pain or discomfort can vary, so it's advisable to discuss your comfort level and any concerns with your healthcare provider before treatment.
How long do EXION results last?
Depending on individual skin characteristics, the area treated, and the number of sessions received, the duration of EXION results can vary. Many patients, though, have noticed that improvements in skin texture and firmness can last for up to a year or more. To maintain and extend the longevity of results, it's recommended to undergo a series of treatments and follow a proper skincare routine as advised by your healthcare provider. Additionally, regular maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain the benefits over time.
How many EXION treatments are recommended?
Depending on your skincare goals and condition, the number of recommended EXION treatments can vary. During a consultation, your healthcare provider will assess your unique skincare needs and recommend a tailored treatment plan. However, a typical patient might undergo a series of 4 to 6 EXION treatments spaced approximately 3 to 4 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. These treatments are designed to improve skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance gradually.
What is the difference between EXION Fractional & EXION Face?
EXION Fractional RF Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses microneedle insertions into the skin to achieve results. EXION Face is a non-invasive treatment for more delicate areas of the skin, such as under the eyes, and does not require needle insertion.
