If multiple strategies can work to improve the look and feel of the skin, why not combine them for the ultimate in rejuvenation? Exion RF microneedling at Palm Beach’s Carroll Dermatology takes this “more is more”approach to skin rejuvenation by including collagen induction, radiofrequency energy, and ultrasound into a single treatment that provides beautifully natural-looking results.
There are three parts to an Exion RF microneedling treatment.
First, the microneedling itself is known as collagen induction, because each tiny wound made by the ultra-fine needles in the Exion device prompts specific cells known as fibroblasts to help with natural healing processes. These fibroblasts generate new collagen molecules, as well as elastin. Together, these proteins give aging skin new structure, flexibility, support, and resilience. The channels created by the microneedling can also help to break down pigmented lesions and scar tissue.
Each needle also delivers radiofrequency energy, allowing for the generation of heat below the surface of the skin. This heat enhances the healing response and coagulates the existing collagen, leading to a smoother and more even look and feel on the surface.
Finally, the delivery of ultrasound enhances the results even more, as the energy further generates heat and a productive healing response in the body.
A single Exion RF microneedling session only takes about eight minutes to complete. The treatments are brief and designed with patient comfort in mind—in addition to beautifully noticeable results, of course.
Collagen and elastin production will begin after the session, but the process is gradual and the results take time to develop and improve. As collagen and elastin levels rise in the weeks and months after a treatment, the skin will appear smoother, clearer, and fuller. During this time, there will also be an increase in hyaluronic acid levels. These molecules readily bind to water, so having a plentiful amount means the skin can be exceptionally hydrated for a full, plump, and even dewy look.
Exion microneedling has a face applicator that utilizes monopolar radiofrequency and targeted ultrasound stimulation to stimulate deep layers and also increase hyaluronic acid and elastin, thus enhancing overall skin appearance and health. While it is often used on the face, it can also be used on the body to treat fine lines, wrinkles, and mild laxity. Everything from the cheeks to the belly can potentially get a firmer look as the skin tightens and collagen levels rise.
The makers of Exion RF microneedling also make EMFACE for facial sculpting and EMSCULPT for shaping and toning the body. Both treatments combine radiofrequency energy with high-intensity focused electromagnetic stimulation to build muscle while reducing fat and tightening the skin. Another skin-tightening option is Ultherapy, which uses ultra sound energy to prompt collagen production and a firmer look and feel.
Given the range of options, patients are invited to contact our practice and schedule a personalized consultation in order to determine which approach would be best for their specific circumstances and goals.
