A Double Strike Against Wrinkles: How EXION Face Works Through Microneedle RF Lifting and Ultrasound

EXION Face stands out among device-based techniques for combining two modern technologies within a single procedure. This approach allows for comprehensive skin treatment and solving several aesthetic goals at once. In this article, specialists at Genevity’s center for longevity and quality of life explain what EXION Face technology is, who it’s suitable for, and what results to expect after a course.

What is EXION Face?

EXION Face is a method of device-based facial cosmetology developed by BTL. During the procedure, tissue is treated with monopolar radiofrequency energy and ultrasound. An AI system monitors tissue temperature and impedance in real time and adjusts energy delivery. In other words, the device automatically reduces power if the tissue heats up too much.

How does EXION Face RF lifting for the face work?

During the procedure, radiofrequency energy heats the deep layers of the skin and stimulates the production of collagen, elastin, and the skin’s own hyaluronic acid. After the course, the skin becomes denser, firmer, and more hydrated. Ultrasound helps distribute the energy more evenly through the tissue and enhances the RF effect.

Microneedle RF lifting and ultrasound: what’s special about combining these technologies?

The EXION lineup offers two treatment formats:

• monopolar RF combined with ultrasound for gentle tissue stimulation;

• microneedle RF lifting for the face — with deeper, more precise heating of the dermis through fine needles.

The main advantage of this combination is the ability to affect tissue at different depths and solve several aesthetic goals at once: increasing skin density and firmness, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and evening out skin texture. Within a course, the doctor can use both formats if needed for a more pronounced result.

What skin problems is EXION Face used for?

The technique is used to correct the following aesthetic issues:

• fine and more pronounced wrinkles;

• reduced density, firmness, and elasticity of facial and neck skin;

• early to moderate ptosis of soft tissues;

• enlarged pores and uneven texture;

• signs of photoaging and dull skin tone.

EXION Face is used both for local correction of specific areas and for comprehensive improvement of facial and neck skin.

EXION Face for rejuvenation and skin tightening

After a course of EXION Face for facial rejuvenation, wrinkles become less pronounced, skin becomes denser, firmer, and more hydrated, and contours look more defined. To enhance the effect, the doctor may include other device-based techniques in the program. For example, Genevity also offers Volnewmer — a monopolar RF lifting treatment for increasing skin density and correcting age-related changes.

How does the procedure work?

First, the doctor assesses the skin’s condition and determines the treatment areas. The skin is then cleansed, and a local anesthetic is applied if needed. During the session, the specialist sequentially treats the selected areas with the EXION applicator, monitoring intensity and tissue response. The procedure usually takes 30–45 minutes.

What result can you get after a course?

After a course of EXION Face, the skin becomes denser and firmer, wrinkles smooth out, and texture evens out. Skin hydration also improves, pores appear less noticeable, and the facial oval looks more defined. The result forms gradually as collagen and other dermal components renew.

Who is EXION Face suitable for?

EXION Face is suitable for patients who want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, increase skin density and firmness, improve texture, and correct early signs of ptosis without surgery. The technique can be used both for early age-related changes and for more pronounced reductions in skin tone.

At the Genevity center, the procedure program is selected individually after a consultation with a cosmetologist. The specialist assesses the skin’s condition, determines the optimal treatment format, and, if needed, combines EXION Face for wrinkles with other device-based cosmetology techniques for a more pronounced result.
