Monopolar RF
Radiofrequency energy creates controlled heating in the skin as part of the treatment's thermal effect.
EXION Face is a non-invasive, needle-free facial treatment that combines monopolar radiofrequency with targeted ultrasound. The dual-energy approach is designed to support the skin's natural remodeling processes while addressing skin quality, texture, elasticity and visible signs of aging.
EXION Face is the non-microneedling facial applicator within the EXION platform. It combines two forms of energy to create controlled thermal and mechanical stimulation in the skin, supporting a gradual remodeling response.
Radiofrequency energy creates controlled heating in the skin as part of the treatment's thermal effect.
Targeted ultrasound adds mechanical stimulation to the treatment area without puncturing the skin.
BTL links the combined treatment to production of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin within the skin.
BTL describes EXION Face as a patented combination of monopolar radiofrequency and targeted ultrasound delivered simultaneously. The goal is to create controlled stimulation across the dermis while keeping the treatment non-invasive.
Your provider reviews skin quality, laxity, texture and the facial areas you want to address.
Controlled radiofrequency energy creates thermal stimulation in the treated tissue.
Ultrasound energy creates additional mechanical stimulation within the skin.
Visible changes develop gradually as the skin responds to the treatment over time.
Manufacturer materials associate the simultaneous RF and targeted ultrasound approach with the skin's natural production of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin. These structures contribute to hydration, firmness, elasticity and overall skin quality.
Naturally occurring hyaluronic acid helps support skin hydration and volume within the extracellular matrix.
Collagen contributes structural support and firmness to the skin and changes naturally with age.
Elastin contributes to the skin's ability to stretch and return toward its original shape.
EXION Face may be discussed when patients want a non-invasive approach to visible signs of skin aging without choosing a microneedling treatment.
The treatment is designed around improving the overall appearance and quality of facial skin.
Patients may discuss EXION Face when smoother-looking skin texture is part of the treatment goal.
BTL positions the Face applicator around skin elasticity, laxity and overall firmness.
Visible facial lines may be part of a broader skin-quality treatment discussion.
Because hyaluronic acid plays an important role in skin hydration, EXION Face is often discussed in that context.
EXION Face offers an option for facial treatment without the needles used in Fractional RF microneedling.
BTL treatment examples include the full face, eyes, mouth-area and neck. Your provider determines which areas are appropriate based on your skin and treatment goals.

EXION Face does not use microneedles. During treatment, energy is delivered through the applicator while your provider monitors the skin and treatment response.
Sensation varies by treatment area and treatment settings. Patients typically describe warmth as the energy is delivered, and treatment parameters are adjusted by the provider.
We review your facial skin concerns, treatment history and what you would like to improve.
The full face or selected areas such as the eyes, mouth area or neck may be considered.
The Face applicator delivers the dual-energy treatment without microneedles.
Your skin response helps guide future sessions and whether other treatments belong in the plan.
Choosing between EXION Face, RF microneedling and EMFACE starts by identifying whether your priority is skin quality, deeper resurfacing or facial muscle plus skin treatment.
Monopolar RF + targeted ultrasound for non-invasive facial skin rejuvenation and skin-quality goals.
RF microneedling when deeper texture and dermal tightening-focused treatment is more appropriate.
