If you’re troubled by sagging skin due to weight loss, aging, or environmental stressors, it’s more than vanity. It impacts your self-esteem and how you experience life. If you've lost weight, possibly with the aid of weight loss peptides like semaglutide, and are left with loose skin, you understand this struggle. Aging and environmental stressors such as excessive sun exposure further accelerate skin degradation, creating a disconnect between how you feel inside and the reflection you see in the mirror.
And this loose skin can lead to physical discomfort. Disillusionment follows as most non-surgical solutions fail to offer lasting results. And then there's Botox, which demands frequent touch-ups and the commitment of ongoing expenses. More importantly, there are rare but real risks associated with its use, and the long-term effects on skin and muscle functionality are not fully understood.
This is where the non-invasive EXION and EMFACE devices come in, offering a new standard for treating sagging skin.These award-winning technologies deliver results without invasive procedures, downtime, or the repetitive costs of temporary fixes. Rather than treating loose skin as a symptom, EXION and EMFACE target the root causes of skin laxity, presenting a long-lasting solution.
In this blog, you’ll discover why EXION and EMFACE might be the breakthrough solution you've been seeking. Learn how these cutting-edge technologies can transform your approach to skin rejuvenation, promising a renewed sense of confidence and a more youthful radiance.
If you’re wondering why your skin is sagging, you’re not alone. Nearly one-third of all adults feel unhappy about their skin, and loose skin was identified as a problem for more than 85% of those. Skin sagging occurs due to several genetic and epigenetic factors.
The primary cause is the loss of collagen and elastin, proteins essential for maintaining skin's elasticity and firmness. Research shows that collagen production decreases by about 1% per year as we age. The number of fibroblasts that synthesize collagen and vessels that supply the skin are diminished. This leads to skin that is more lax and less plump, which also causes wrinkles.
Weight loss, particularly rapid weight loss or significant weight reduction over time, can also lead to sagging skin. The skin, having been stretched to accommodate excess body weight, may not completely retract to its former state due to lost elasticity. With the extreme weight loss followed by bariatric surgery, for example, as many as 70% of people develop excess skin.
And the recent popularity of weight loss medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide has introduced new concerns. Rapid weight and fat loss with these peptides can lead to what's being termed "Ozempic face," characterized by depleted facial volume and fat, resulting in wrinkles and sagging skin. Prescribing providers seldom counsel patients about the potential impact on their facial appearance, leaving many unprepared for these changes.
Environmental influences are pivotal in the skin's aging process, directly affecting its structural proteins. These factors initiate a cascade of changes that undermine the skin's elasticity and strength. The result of stressors such as these is an accelerated aging cycle, manifesting as sagging and deepening wrinkles:
While aging, weight changes, and environmental stressors are key reasons your skin is sagging, there are other factors that play vital roles in skin health. Genetic makeup influences how the skin ages and its resilience. Hormonal changes during menopause or pregnancy can impact your skin's elasticity. Nutrition and hydration levels are crucial as well, as deficiencies in vital nutrients can weaken skin structure. And chronic stress and sleep deprivation have been shown to accelerate skin aging. Together, these factors contribute to the complexity of skin health, highlighting the need for comprehensive care and prevention strategies.
Until now, surgery has been the quickest, most effective option to address sagging skin. If you're not ready for such a drastic measure, you've likely explored a variety of less invasive alternatives — creams, serums, injections — especially if you’re also dealing with other skin conditions. Unfortunately, the results often fall short of expectations, offering little or no lasting improvement. Clearly, what you need is a more comprehensive approach to skin health — one that addresses the root causes of these conditions.
Enter EXION, a groundbreaking FDA-approved multiplatform treatment device that transcends the boundaries of conventional therapies to provide a deeper level of care and unprecedented outcomes without the need for surgical interventions or injections. By harnessing advanced technology to stimulate deep tissue regeneration, EXION effectively targets the underlying causes of not only sagging skin but also acne scars, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture.
Backed by rigorous science with 14 clinical studies, 11 evaluation methods, 20+ investigators, and over 1200 treatment sessions, EXION has emerged as the ultimate non-invasive solution, capable of addressing 23 different areas with four specialized applicators: RF Microneedling, the Face Applicator, the Body Applicator, and the EmFemme applicator. Each applicator harnesses a unique combination of Monopolar Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling, Fractional RF, Targeted Ultrasound, and incorporates Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize treatment outcomes. Additionally, the EXION and the BTL EMFACE device, which uses synchronized radiofrequency and HIFES (high intensity facial electromagnetic stimulation) can now be combined to prevent and correct sagging skin. Let’s dive into each of these applications.
EXION's Fractional Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling Applicator introduces a pioneering combination of microneedling and fractional monopolar RF, all precisely optimized by Artificial Intelligence (AI), to deliver a skin rejuvenation treatment that's highly customizable. This advanced system utilizes a handheld applicator with fine needles to create superficial micro-punctures that stimulate the skin's natural repair mechanisms. The true innovation lies in the treatment's ability to leverage monopolar RF, guided by AI, to penetrate deep into the skin — up to 8mm below the surface — far beyond the depth of the micro-punctures.
Fractional therapy works by targeting fractions, or segments, of the skin at a time. Akin to how a TV image is composed of pixels, non-fractionated devices work on every single pixel, uniformly treating the entire skin surface. In contrast, fractionated devices selectively treat only a percentage of the pixels within the treatment area. This approach creates a pattern of micro-injuries interspersed with untouched areas. As the skin heals from these micro-injuries, there's a notable improvement in its tone and texture, making fractional therapy a targeted method for skin rejuvenation. The fractional approach ensures a balanced and comprehensive rejuvenation, targeting specific concerns within the skin's deeper layers without compromising the overall skin surface's health.
Monopolar RF therapy applies consistent heat at precise depths within the skin's dermal layers, leading to immediate collagen contraction and instant skin firming. Monopolar RF involves the use of a single electrode to deliver radiofrequency energy deep into the skin, with the current completing its path via a grounding pad. Unlike bipolar RF, which operates between two closely positioned electrodes and affects shallower skin layers, monopolar RF reaches deeper into the dermis. This deep penetration is crucial for effectively stimulating the skin's foundational structures, where collagen and elastin fibers are synthesized, leading to more substantial skin remodeling and rejuvenation.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role in EXION's RF Microneedling system, ensuring treatments are precisely tailored to each patient's unique skin needs. AI analyzes skin characteristics to customize microneedling depth and RF energy delivery, dynamically adjusting in real-time for optimal efficacy, enhancing the procedure's accuracy and reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues. This enables targeted treatment of specific concerns with a single pass. The fusion of AI with EXION's expertise not only accelerates the treatment process but also ensures a higher level of satisfaction by achieving significant improvements with less downtime and reduced overall costs.
The EXION Face Applicator embodies the pinnacle of facial rejuvenation technology as the first device of its kind to boost Hyaluronic Acid (HLA) non-invasively — up to 224%. Setting a new standard with its patented integration of synchronized monopolar radiofrequency and targeted ultrasound for synergistic effects, this innovative applicator was designed to enhance the skin's natural beauty on the face, neck, and décolleté, focusing on hydrating and revitalizing the skin without the need for knives or needles.
The EXION face applicator utilizes targeted ultrasound energy, a technique that directs ultrasound waves precisely to the deeper layers of the skin. This focused approach creates localized heating at a concentrated area, akin to how a magnifying glass focuses light to a specific point, enabling deeper and more accurate targeting. This method is crucial for stimulating the reticular dermis, where dermal fibroblasts reside, without harming the skin's surface or nearby tissues. The targeted energy not only boosts hyaluronic acid production by an impressive 224% but also activates the skin’s mechanical and thermal mechanisms, leading to enhanced natural healing and rejuvenation processes.
The core technology within the EXION Face Applicator synchronizes monopolar RF with the precision of targeted ultrasound, enhancing the effects of both. The RF technology increases tissue temperature through oscillation of electrical currents, driving collisions between charged molecules and converting kinetic energy into heat. This process, when combined with the mechanical stimulation from targeted ultrasound, significantly improves the production of collagen and elastin by 47% and 50%, respectively. The synchronization of these technologies not only stimulates the production of key skin proteins but also ensures that higher temperatures can be reached without adverse effects, enabling a holistic treatment that vastly improves skin texture, elasticity, and hydration.
If you're seeking to restore your skin's youthful vitality without resorting to invasive procedures and aren't yet impressed by the EXION Face Applicator's innovative technology consider this: The control group, which used radiofrequency and regular versus targeted ultrasound, showed results that simply can't compare with hyaluronic acid levels seeing a modest 14% increase at the 1-month mark, which then diminished to an 11% increase by the 3-month follow-up. This stark contrast highlights the superior precision, consistency, and overall effectiveness of the EXION Face Applicator's synergistic approach.
The EXION Body Applicator extends the innovative approach of its facial counterpart to body contouring and skin rejuvenation, addressing sagging skin, cellulite, and localized fat deposits. utilizing a larger design to accommodate the body's needs. Here's how it stands out:
If you've struggled with achieving your desired body through conventional methods, the EXION Body Applicator presents an evidence-based solution that revolutionizes skin tightening, fat cell reduction, and body sculpting. In a world where your busy lifestyle might hinder your pursuit of aesthetic and well-being enhancements, this safe, non-invasive treatment steps in as the ideal answer. Demonstrated by BTL EXION tests, an impressive 85% improvement in skin tightness and a 22% reduction in fat in those hard-to-reach areas underscore the applicator's effectiveness.
The EXION EmFemme Applicator marks an innovative step in addressing intimate health, utilizing non-invasive RF technology to tackle issues like vaginal laxity by fostering tissue rejuvenation. This focus on intimate wellness reflects a broader commitment to leveraging advanced technology for deeply personal health concerns, offering a discreet and effective approach to enhancing sexual health. The mechanism behind the EmFemme applicator centers on stimulating collagen and elastin production within the tissue, crucial components for maintaining tissue firmness and elasticity.
Clinical evidence supports the applicator's effectiveness, demonstrating a significant 37% increase in elastin, which contributes to improved tissue quality and functionality. Patient feedback further attests to the device's value, with 93% satisfaction rates and 95% of participants reporting no discomfort during the procedures. These statistics not only convey the EmFemme applicator's capability to deliver tangible improvements in intimate health but also highlight its design for patient comfort and its role in advancing non-invasive solutions in areas of health that are often challenging to address.
Moreover, EmFace’s synchronized RF technology goes deeper, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This action not only helps maintain skin elasticity and firmness but also promotes a significant:
EmFace transcends conventional surface-level treatments by addressing the deeper, structural causes of facial aging. This multifaceted approach ensures a comprehensive rejuvenation, making EmFace an ideal choice for those seeking to naturally counteract the signs of aging without resorting to invasive procedures.
Following its initial launch, EmFace was adapted to integrate seamlessly into the EXION system. The collaboration introduces a comprehensive, multi-modal platform for facial rejuvenation that transcends the capabilities of each device when used independently. This synergistic approach, known as Revitalize and Revolumize (R&R), combines the strengths of EXION’s synchronized radiofrequency and targeted ultrasound Face Applicator with EmFace’s muscle toning and skin stimulating properties. The R&R treatment protocol is designed to offer a holistic solution for facial laxity and skin quality improvement, emphasizing a non-invasive route to achieving facial restoration without resorting to surgical interventions.
By initiating the treatment with EmFace, the protocol targets the facial muscles, enhancing their tone and contributing to a structural uplift of the mid to upper face, which indirectly benefits the lower face and neck. This phase lays the groundwork for the subsequent application of EXION's technology, which further encourages the skin's natural regenerative processes, leading to increased collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production. The result is a comprehensive facial rejuvenation that not only tightens and lifts the skin but also enhances its texture and hydration, offering a refreshed and revitalized appearance.
Essentially, this strategy is a paradigm shift in facial restoration, advocating for a needle-free and downtime-free approach. By integrating EXION and EmFace technologies, we can effectively tap into the body’s innate capacity for self-repair and rejuvenation, offering a promising alternative for individuals seeking to mitigate the signs of aging in a natural and non-disruptive manner.
While Botox has been a go-to solution for wrinkle reduction and likely isn’t going anywhere, EXION offers a more holistic, versatile, and natural approach to skin rejuvenation. Its ability to address a wide range of skin issues beyond just wrinkles, coupled with its innovative technology that stimulates the body's own healing processes, makes EXION a compelling alternative for those seeking comprehensive skin care treatments.
