RF Microneedling & HYaluronic Acid Treatment near ancaster ontario

Exion™ RF microneedling combines microneedling with radiofrequency thermal energy to address a range of skin concerns. The microneedles create a series of tiny controlled injuries in your skin (4 mm deep), stimulating a robust healing and rejuvenating response. The added thermal energy from the radiofrequency allows the effects of the treatment to go even further, as far as 8 mm.

After your consultation, one of our talented laser nurses will perform the treatment using our Emface™ machine with the Exion™ RF microneedling attachment. They can use RF microneedling in Burlington to treat the skin around your eyes, face, neck, abdomen, thighs, and other delicate areas. After a full course of treatment (typically 3 60 to 90-minute sessions), you can expect to notice initial improvements in the smoothness and firmness of your skin. These results can develop as early as 1 week after your first session, and full results can last up to 1 year.

Exion™ RF Microneedling involves minimal pain, and many of our clients describe a gentle warming sensation. At Cosmedica Aesthetics, we do everything we can to ensure our clients are as comfortable as possible.

While it’s not totally pain free, it’s tolerable for most clients. We provide a topical anesthetic to numb the target area before treatment, and we also offer arnica to reduce any post-treatment discomfort, swelling, or bruising.

While we normally recommend you receive 3 treatment sessions with Exion RF microneedling in Burlington, the number of sessions varies from client to client. One of our laser nurses will use your consultation to create a custom treatment plan fine-tuned to your unique needs and goals.

Exion™ RF microneedling is a noninvasive skin technique designed to help clients enjoy maximum benefits with minimal pain. That being said, it’s always a good idea to be aware of any possible side effects to treatment and how to best prevent them with post-care instructions.

• You may experience erythema and edema in the treated area. This will often disappear within 24 hours.
• Itching and irritation is common and will usually clear up in 24 hours.
• You may experience discomfort or sensitivity to tissue palpation in the treated area. This can last for 14 days.
• Pigmentation change is possible along with hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It occurs most often in patients with darker skin Types for whom caution is advised during treatment.

Results of Exion™ RF Microneedling vary from client to client. While you may notice some improvements immediately following your session, you will begin to see a more noticeable difference as early as 1 week following your first treatment. Your full results will develop in the following weeks. Results tend to last 1 year after a fully completed treatment cycle.

Despite being a noninvasive procedure designed for optimal comfort, Exion RF Microneedling may not be right for everyone. If you struggle with cold sores, skin infections, skin diseases like psoriasis, or you are receiving radiation treatment or chemotherapy, you are not a good candidate for this treatment.

Not all hope is lost, though. Our dedicated team of laser nurses will go over your medical history to determine which of our treatment options will best suit your needs, help you reach your goals, and ensure your safety and comfort.

Exion RF Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can address both facial and body skin concerns. At Cosmedica Aesthetics, treatment areas can include the face, neck and other areas of the body depending on your individual concerns and treatment plan.

By stimulating collagen production and promoting skin remodeling, Exion may help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, loose skin, enlarged pores, acne scars, uneven skin texture and stretch marks. The treatment can also be incorporated into a broader skin-rejuvenation plan when multiple concerns need to be addressed.

Because everyone’s skin is different, a consultation is an important first step. A member of the Cosmedica team can assess your skin, discuss your goals and determine whether Exion RF Microneedling is an appropriate treatment for you.

Before an Exion RF Microneedling treatment at Cosmedica Aesthetics, a topical numbing cream is applied to help make the procedure more comfortable. During treatment, patients may experience pressure, mild irritation or a gentle warming sensation from the RF energy. Cosmedica describes the treatment as tolerable for most patients.

Following treatment, temporary redness, swelling, irritation or sensitivity can occur. These effects generally improve relatively quickly, and Cosmedica describes Exion as requiring little downtime. Many patients can return to their regular activities within a few days, depending on their individual response to treatment.

Your provider will give you personalized aftercare instructions to help support the healing process and protect your results.

While every patient’s treatment plan is individualized, three Exion RF Microneedling sessions are typically recommended at Cosmedica Aesthetics. The exact number can vary depending on your skin condition, treatment area and aesthetic goals.

Some patients may begin noticing improvements in their skin approximately one week after their first treatment, but results continue to develop as collagen production and skin remodeling take place. After completing a recommended treatment cycle, results can last up to one year, although individual results vary.

A consultation at Cosmedica Aesthetics in Burlington allows your provider to create a customized treatment plan designed around your skin and desired results.
