WHO IS A CANDIDATE?

Exion Face is ideal for individuals looking for a non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation. It is suitable for patients experiencing signs of aging, such as sagging skin, wrinkles, volume loss, and under-eye puffiness. Exion Face can also be targeted specifically for lip and under-eye rejuvenation. It is safe for most skin types and tones.

WHAT ARE THE CONTRAINDICATIONS?

  • Pregnancy
  • Active skin infections or rashes in the treatment area
  • History of severe allergies to ultrasound or RF energy
  • Pacemakers or other implanted medical devices
  • Recent facial surgeries or filler injections within the past 2 weeks
  • Severe acne, rosacea, or other chronic skin conditions in the treatment area

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR TREATMENT?

  • Cleanse your face thoroughly before the procedure, ensuring no makeup, lotions, or oils are present.
  • Avoid using exfoliating or acid-based products (like Retin-A or Tretinoin) for 3 days before the treatment.
  • Discontinue the use of active ingredients such as retinoids, acids, and Vitamin C at least 3 days before your appointment.
  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 1 week before treatment to reduce the risk of irritation.
  • Ensure your skin is in good condition before treatment (e.g., no open wounds or active inflammation).

WHAT ARE THE AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS?

  • You can resume normal activities immediately after the treatment.
  • Mild redness and warmth in the treated area are common and should subside within a few hours.
  • Apply a gentle moisturizer and sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) following the treatment to protect your skin.
  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for 48 hours post-treatment.
  • Refrain from hot showers, saunas, and excessive sweating for 24-48 hours.
  • Avoid using harsh skincare products, including exfoliants or active ingredients, for the first 48 hours.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING AND AFTER TREATMENT?

  • Exion Face is a comfortable, non-invasive procedure. Most patients feel a gentle warmth and slight vibration as the RF and ultrasound energy are delivered to the skin, especially around the delicate lip and under-eye areas.
  • The procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
  • You may experience mild redness or a slight sensation of warmth after the procedure, which should resolve within a few hours.
  • There is no downtime, and you can return to your normal activities immediately after the treatment.
  • Over time, you will notice improved facial tone, smoother under-eye skin, and enhanced lip volume, with results becoming more visible over the next few weeks.

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?

Optimal results are typically seen within 2-3 months after completing a series of treatments. Exion Face usually requires 3-4 sessions, spaced 2-4 weeks apart, for the best outcome. For under-eye and lip rejuvenation, results can be more noticeable within a few weeks. To maintain results, follow-up treatments can be performed every 6-12 months.
