What is Exion HA Face microneedling?
Exion Face is a non-invasive, advanced treatment that combines synchronized radiofrequency and ultrasound technologies to enhance skin texture, boost collagen production, and reduce fine lines. It delivers a youthful, glowing complexion without needles or downtime.
How does it work?
During the Exion Face treatment, RF energy and ultrasound are carefully applied to the skin. The treatment stimulates the deep layers of the skin to promote the natural production of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin, which improve skin quality and texture.
The procedure is non-invasive and comfortable, with patients experiencing minimal discomfort during the treatment. Sessions typically last between 10-30 minutes, and multiple treatments are recommended to achieve optimal results.
