Radiofrequency Microneedling

Elevate your facial skin treatment with Radiofrequency Microneedling from Exion. Exion provides the most advanced RF microneedling device available.

RF microneedling utilizes radiofrequency energy to amplify the rejuvenating effects of the microneedling procedure. At Franklin Smiles, we are pleased to bring this advanced technology to our patients as the only dental practice currently providing Exion treatments in the greater Nashville area.

How Exion RF Microneedling Works

Traditional microneedling works by inducing micro-injuries in the top layer of the skin through the use of tiny needles. As part of its natural healing response to the micro-injuries, the body produces more collagen — making the skin firmer — and elastin — making it more stretchy and resilient. Increasing the availability of these essential proteins results in tighter, smoother, younger-looking skin.

Exion RF Microneedling takes this process one step further by using radiofrequency energy to treat even deeper skin layers without the need for a longer needle. The RF energy gently heats the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production even more for enhanced results. Additionally, AI-guided pulse control ensures precision in needle delivery so that the procedure can be completed in just one pass across the treatment area. Together, these technologies allow for increased effectiveness as well as a more comfortable experience.

Benefits of Exion RF Microneedling

While diminishing the appearance of facial skin imperfections, such as wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and enlarged pores, this treatment promotes:

  • firmer, tighter skin
  • a younger-looking appearance
  • a smooth, even skin texture and tone

As a minimally-invasive procedure, microneedling provides these benefits without surgery, scarring, or a long recovery period.

What to Expect

At the start of each session, we’ll apply a numbing cream to the treatment area. Once we place the Exion applicator on your skin, the needles will quickly descend to the optimal depth and then retract. We will continue this process, moving the applicator as necessary to treat the entire desired area. You will likely feel pricking from the needles and a warming sensation as the radiofrequency energy heats your skin, but any pain you experience should not be intense. We prioritize your comfort and will check in with you during treatment to make sure it is tolerable for you.

For the first 12-48 hours following treatment, skin redness and swelling on treated areas are common. During this time, you may feel like you have a mild facial sunburn. Recovery time after treatment will last between 1 and 5 days after treatment and may involve some scabbing and extra sensitivity as your skin heals.

Your body’s response to treatment — producing more collagen and elastin — will begin after your session and continue over time. After about a month, you’ll be able to see the rejuvenating effects of your treatment when you look in the mirror. By 3 months post-session, you’ll be enjoying the full benefit of Exion RF Microneedling.

Depending on your unique needs and aesthetic goals, you may opt to continue treatment with multiple sessions scheduled 4 weeks apart. Most often, between 3 and 5 sessions are needed to achieve best results.
