EXION® in Buffalo

As a physician, I spend a great deal of time talking with women about aging comfortably and confidently. Many of my patients want healthier, firmer, smoother skin — but they are not interested in looking artificial or undergoing aggressive procedures with significant downtime.

That is why I decided to offer EXION®.

While EMFACE® focuses on lifting and strengthening the facial muscles beneath the skin, EXION® focuses more directly on skin quality, collagen support, tightening, and texture improvement.

Together, these treatments allow us to approach facial aging more naturally and comprehensively.

One of the things I especially appreciate about EXION® is that it gives us multiple ways to support healthier skin depending on a patient’s goals and comfort level.

EXION® can be used as:

• A noninvasive skin tightening and collagen treatment
• An advanced RF microneedling treatment for deeper skin rejuvenation
• A supportive treatment alongside EMFACE® for more complete facial rejuvenation

The treatment helps:

• Improve skin texture and tone
• Tighten loose or crepey skin
• Support collagen and elastin production
• Improve hydration within the skin
• Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
• Improve acne scarring and texture concerns
• Create healthier, firmer-looking skin

And yes — treatment options can be customized from completely needle-free to more advanced RF microneedling depending on your comfort level and skin goals.

EXION® may help improve:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Crepey skin
• Skin laxity
• Under-eye texture
• Smile/smoker lines, sun spots, red or pitted acne scarring, volume loss, lip plumping
• Neck texture and tightening
• Acne scarring
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin tone
• Skin hydration and glow
• Overall skin texture and smoothness

The goal is not to dramatically change how you look.

The goal is to help your skin look healthier, smoother, firmer, and more refreshed.

Many patients are familiar with traditional microneedling, which uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing response and encourages collagen production.

Traditional microneedling can help improve:

• Skin texture
• Mild fine lines
• Overall tone and glow
• Mild acne scarring

RF microneedling takes that concept a step further.

With EXION® RF microneedling, tiny needles are combined with radiofrequency energy delivered deeper beneath the surface of the skin. While the microneedles stimulate collagen mechanically, the radiofrequency energy adds controlled heat to tighten and remodel tissue more effectively.

I often explain it this way:

• Traditional microneedling focuses more on surface texture and collagen stimulation.
• RF microneedling helps stimulate collagen while also tightening and supporting deeper tissue.

This allows EXION® RF microneedling to address:

• More advanced collagen loss
• Skin laxity and crepey skin
• Deeper wrinkles
• Jawline and neck tightening
• Acne scarring and texture concerns
• Overall skin firmness and support

For many patients, RF microneedling offers more noticeable tightening and rejuvenation while still remaining minimally invasive and non-surgical.

One of the realities of aging is that our skin naturally produces less collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid over time.

As those building blocks decline, the skin becomes thinner, less firm, less hydrated, and more prone to wrinkles and laxity.

Many treatments try to temporarily cover up these changes.

EXION® takes a different approach by helping your body naturally rebuild healthier skin from within.

I often describe EXION® as “supportive skin rejuvenation” rather than dramatic cosmetic change.

Most patients describe treatments as:

• Warm
• Comfortable
• Relaxing
• Easy to tolerate

Treatment times are relatively quick, and depending on the type of treatment selected, downtime is minimal or nonexistent.

For many patients, EXION® becomes part of a healthy-aging approach focused on maintaining skin quality naturally over time.

EXION® is ideal for patients who want natural-looking skin rejuvenation without dramatic changes or extensive downtime.

Compared to fillers:

• EXION® stimulates your body’s own collagen and hyaluronic acid production
• No overfilled appearance
• Gradual, natural-looking improvement

Compared to aggressive laser treatments:

• Less downtime for many patients
• Comfortable treatment experience
• Supports both collagen production and tissue tightening
• More customizable treatment options

Compared to surgery:

• Non-surgical
• No anesthesia
• No incisions
• Minimal recovery
• Subtle, progressive improvement

For many patients, EXION® pairs beautifully with EMFACE® to address both skin quality and underlying facial support.

We will begin with a consultation to discuss your goals, skin concerns, medical history, and whether EXION® is the right fit for you.

Depending on the treatment selected, EXION® may involve:

• Completely needle-free skin tightening treatments
• RF microneedling treatments for deeper collagen remodeling and texture improvement

During treatment, a handheld applicator is moved comfortably across targeted areas of the skin while the device delivers controlled radiofrequency energy — with or without microneedling depending on your treatment plan.

Most patients describe the experience as:

• Warm
• Comfortable
• Relaxing
• Easy to tolerate

Some RF microneedling treatments may involve temporary redness or mild downtime, while noninvasive EXION® treatments typically require little to no recovery time.
