Exion RF Microneedling in Los Alamitos, CA

Microneedling alone creates controlled micro injuries in the skin, and the repair response that follows is what produces new collagen. Adding radiofrequency delivers heat at a controlled depth at the same time, which drives that remodeling response further than needling on its own.

Exion controls the depth and the energy delivery, so the treatment can be adjusted for the area being treated and for the depth the concern sits at. Thin skin around the eyes and thicker skin on the body are not treated the same way.

• Skin texture and tone, including roughness and irregular surface
• Fine lines and early laxity
• Scarring, including acne scarring
• Enlarged pores
• Skin tightening on the face, neck and body

The area is cleaned and a topical numbing cream is applied and left to take effect. The handpiece passes over the skin in sections. Most people describe a warm prickling sensation rather than pain. Afterwards the skin is pink and feels tight, similar to mild sunburn, and that typically settles within a day or two.

You should avoid sun exposure, heat and makeup for a short period afterwards, and we give you the specific aftercare at the appointment. This is the one treatment at the studio with meaningful aftercare attached, so plan it around your week rather than before an event.

Exion suits people who want to improve skin quality rather than volume or shape. If the concern is facial muscle tone and lift, Emface is the more appropriate treatment, and some clients run the two as a pair. If the concern is body shape, that is Emsculpt NEO.

It is not suitable during pregnancy, over active skin infection, or for people with certain medical conditions, and the consultation covers all of that.

Collagen remodeling is slow. The visible change from radiofrequency microneedling builds over weeks and months rather than appearing the week after a session, which is why the treatment is delivered as a course with spacing between appointments.

Anyone promising an immediate transformation from a single session is describing something other than how skin actually repairs.
