What it is

Exion Fractional RF combines fine needling with radiofrequency heat. It works like Dermapen4 needling but is stronger, because each tiny channel is heated as it is made. The heat triggers the skin's own repair response more strongly than needling alone, supporting new collagen to soften uneven texture, acne scarring, fine lines and enlarged pores.

Who it suits

Suited to uneven texture, acne and other scarring, fine lines, enlarged pores and skin that has lost firmness. Your nurse will confirm suitability for your skin at your assessment.

Benefits and results

  • Needling plus radiofrequency heat for a stronger collagen response
  • Softens texture, scarring, enlarged pores and fine lines
  • Given without numbing cream and usually rated around 3 to 4 out of 10, gentler than Dermapen4
  • Recovery is typically just a weekend

What to expect

The handpiece delivers fine, heated needling passes across the treatment area. It is given without local anaesthetic cream and most people find it very tolerable, rating it around 3 to 4 out of 10. Skin is pink afterwards and typically settles over a weekend.

Packages

Packages of 4 to 6 treatments are available, priced by enquiry.

Common questions

How is this different from Exion Face?+

Exion Fractional RF is the needling treatment: fine, heated needles trigger the skin's own repair response. Exion Face is needle-free, using radiofrequency and ultrasound to warm the skin.

How is it different from Dermapen4?+

Both use fine needling to trigger the skin's repair response. Exion Fractional RF adds radiofrequency heat to each channel, which makes the collagen response stronger.

Does it hurt?+

It is given without local anaesthetic cream and most people rate it around 3 to 4 out of 10, more comfortable than Dermapen4.

How much downtime is there?+

Skin is pink afterwards and typically settles over a weekend.
