If you are on a quest for radiant, youthful skin, the Exion RF needling Device from BTL might be the perfect treatment for you. This treatment blends micro needling with radio frequency ( RF) and ultrasound technology, enhanced with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to deliver noticeable results with minimal downtime.
Let’s explore how the Exion RF needling device works, the skin issues it can treat and what you can expect as a client.
How it works
The Exion RF needling device combines three powerful skincare technologies to rejuvenate and revitalise your skin:
1. Micro-needling: As the needles penetrate the skin, they create controlled micro-injuries or micro-channels in the dermis. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing processes.
- Stimulation of Collagen Production: The micro-injuries caused by the needles trigger the skin to produce new collagen and elastin fibres. Collagen is crucial for maintaining skin structure and elasticity, while elastin helps the skin to snap back into place.
- Overall Skin Rejuvenation: By promoting collagen production and improving skin texture, micro needling can lead to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. It can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and hyperpigmentation.
2. Radio frequency energy: Simultaneously, RF energy is delivered deep into your skin through these micro needles. In the context of BTL’s Exion RF Needling device, the radiofrequency (RF) energy serves several specific purposes:
- Heating the Tissue: RF energy heats the deeper layers of the skin (dermis) without causing damage to the outer layer (epidermis). This controlled heating stimulates collagen and elastin production in the skin.
- Collagen Remodelling: The heat generated by RF energy induces collagen remodelling and contraction. This process helps to tighten existing collagen fibres and encourages the formation of new collagen, which is essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity.
- Skin Tightening: By stimulating collagen production and remodelling, RF energy can lead to overall skin tightening and improvement in skin laxity. This is particularly beneficial for areas of the face and body where skin may have lost elasticity due to aging or other factors.
- Reducing Wrinkles and Fine Lines: The tightening effect of RF energy can help to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
- Enhancing Treatment Outcomes: When combined with microneedling (as in the Exion RF Needling device), RF energy can enhance the results of the micro-injuries caused by the needles. The synergistic action of RF and microneedling stimulates deeper layers of the skin more effectively than either treatment alone.
3. AI Technology is what sets the Exion device apart from other devices. The device uses AI to read and analyse your skin in real time, ensuring the treatment is tailored to your unique skin needs. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a significant role in enhancing treatment outcomes and optimizing the client’s experience. Here are some ways AI is utilized in conjunction with micro needling and RF technology:
- Customized Treatment Planning: AI algorithms can analyze various factors such as skin type, condition, and desired outcomes to customize treatment parameters. This includes determining the optimal depth of microneedling, intensity of RF energy, and duration of treatment based on individual skin characteristics. By tailoring treatments to each patient’s specific needs, AI helps to maximize effectiveness and minimize potential side effects.
- Real-time Feedback and Adjustment: During the treatment session, AI can provide real-time feedback based on sensor data and patient response. This may include monitoring skin temperature, impedance (resistance to electrical current), and other parameters to ensure that the treatment remains within safe and effective limits. AI algorithms can also dynamically adjust treatment parameters as needed to achieve optimal results.
Overall, AI integration in BTL’s Exion RF Needling device enhances treatment precision, personalization, and effectiveness, contributing to improved outcomes and patient satisfaction in non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedures.
What it treats
The Exion RF needling device is incredibly versatile and can address a wide range of skin issues including:
Wrinkles and fine lines: the treatment stimulates collagen production, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines for smoother firmer skin
Acne scars: Micro needling breaks down scar tissue, while RF energy promotes the growth of new healthy skin, helping to diminish acne scars
Stretch marks: Whether from growth spurts, pregnancy or weight changes stretch marks can be minimised effectively
Skin tightening: the RF energy helps to tighten loose or sagging skin giving you a more lifted and youthful appearance
Large pores: the treatment can help minimize enlarged pores leaving your skin looking more refined and smoother
Hyperpigmentation: The skins rejuvenation process can help even out dark spots resulting in a more radiant complexion
What to expect as a client during treatment:
Procedure: A treatment will take around 30-60 minutes depending on the area being treated. You will feel prickling and warmth to the skin, but it shouldn’t be painful. If you do find it uncomfortable, we do have the option of numbing cream. The AI Technology will be continuously reading your skin to ensure a thorough safe treatment.
After the treatment: You may notice some minor redness and swelling after your session. Some individuals return to work immediately, while others may choose to take the remainder of the day off to allow the redness to fade. Most people’s skin returns to normal within a day or two, and you can apply makeup the day after treatment to cover any remaining redness.
Results: Initial improvements appear over the coming weeks and months. We recommend a course of treatments for optimal results.
So, if you’re ready to say hello to smoother, firmer, tighter and more radiant skin, the Exion RF needling device from BTL could be your new best friend on your skin journey.
If this sounds like a treatment you’re interested in, book a consultation with one of our qualified medical skin therapists and start your path to beautiful glowing skin. Trust me, your future self will thank you for it.
