What Is EXION Fractional RF Microneedling?
EXION Fractional RF microneedling is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to support collagen remodeling and skin tightening. It’s used on the face and body to improve skin texture, firmness, and overall skin quality.
Unlike traditional microneedling, Exion delivers controlled RF energy directly into the dermis through fine microneedles. This allows for deeper, more precise treatment of the skin’s underlying structure, helping improve skin quality beyond just surface appearance.
How Does EXION Fractional RF Microneedling Work?
EXION Fractional RF microneedling works by combining two powerful mechanisms that support skin tightening and rejuvenation:
Microneedling
Microneedles create precise micro-channels in the skin, triggering a natural wound-healing response that stimulates collagen and elastin production.
Radiofrequency (RF) Energy
RF energy is delivered beneath the surface, heating the dermis while protecting the epidermis. This thermal stimulation is responsible for neocollagenesis and elastogenesis, meaning it causes immediate collagen contraction while supporting long-term remodeling of the skin’s structure.
Fractional delivery allows the surrounding tissue to remain untreated, helping the skin heal faster compared to more aggressive treatments.
