RADIOFREQUENCY TECHNOLOGY
A non-surgical radiofrequency platform that tightens and rejuvenates the skin — combining RF energy with targeted ultrasound for skin tightening, fractional RF microneedling for texture, scars and pores, and intimate rejuvenation, all by stimulating your own collagen and elastin.
THE PROMISE
Exion is a non-surgical radiofrequency (RF) platform for tightening and rejuvenating the skin. It combines radiofrequency energy — which gently heats the deeper layers of the skin — with targeted ultrasound, encouraging the body to produce fresh collagen and elastin for firmer, smoother, healthier-looking skin without surgery.
Because Exion is a versatile platform rather than a single treatment, it can be tailored to several different concerns. Dr. Karatzias selects the right approach for you at your consultation, so the treatment is matched to your skin and your goals.

How does Exion fractional RF work?
After the skin is cleansed, Dr. Karatzias guides the Exion applicator over the treatment area, delivering controlled radiofrequency energy to warm the deeper layers of the skin. Most people describe a comfortable, warming sensation during the session. For fractional RF microneedling, a topical anaesthetic is applied first for your comfort. The intensity and approach are tailored to your skin and your goals, and for many concerns a short course of sessions gives the most refined, gradual result. The right plan for you is always agreed at your consultation.
The Exion radiofrequency and ultrasound applicators warm the deeper layers of the skin to encourage natural collagen and elastin renewal — helping to firm and tighten areas of mild laxity on the face, neck and body. It is a comfortable, non-invasive treatment with generally little downtime, designed to support a smoother, more lifted appearance gradually and naturally.
Fractional RF microneedling combines very fine microneedles with radiofrequency energy, delivering heat into the skin to stimulate collagen and refine the skin’s surface. It is well suited to improving:
Exion also offers a non-surgical option for intimate (feminine) rejuvenation, using radiofrequency energy to gently warm and support the tissue, encouraging natural collagen renewal for improved firmness and comfort. It is a private, sensitive area of care; whether it is appropriate for you is discussed discreetly and individually at your consultation.
Exion is non-surgical and generally involves little downtime, so most people return to their usual routine soon after. After RF skin tightening, the treated area may feel warm and look mildly flushed for a short time. After fractional RF microneedling, the skin is typically a little red and may feel slightly sensitive for a few days as it settles. We give you a simple aftercare routine, and while the skin is renewing it is sensible to protect it from direct sun and to use a broad-spectrum sun block. Results develop gradually over the following weeks as new collagen forms.
Exion RF suits people who would like to firm, tighten or refresh their skin — or improve texture, scarring or pores — without surgery and with minimal downtime. As with any treatment, suitability depends on your skin, your concerns and your health; at your consultation Dr. Karatzias will assess you and recommend the right approach, including which Exion application best fits your goals or whether another treatment may suit you better.

BEFORE & AFTER CASES
Results vary from person to person.
How many sessions will I need?
For many concerns a short course of sessions, rather than a single visit, gives the most refined, gradual result — your skin renews collagen over time, so building it up step by step works best. There is no one-size-fits-all number: the plan depends on the application chosen and what you want to improve, and Dr. Karatzias agrees it with you at your consultation.
Does it hurt?
Exion is non-surgical and most people describe a comfortable, warming sensation during the session rather than pain. For fractional RF microneedling a topical anaesthetic is applied first for your comfort. The intensity is always tailored to your skin and your tolerance.
How much downtime is there?
Generally very little. After RF skin tightening the area may feel warm and look mildly flushed for a short time, and most people return to their usual routine soon after. After fractional RF microneedling the skin is typically a little red and slightly sensitive for a few days as it settles. You will be given a simple aftercare routine, and it is sensible to protect the skin from direct sun with a broad-spectrum sun block while it renews.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Results are not instant — they develop gradually over the following weeks as new collagen forms, often continuing to refine for a few months. Because the skin keeps ageing naturally over time, occasional maintenance sessions can help sustain the result; what is right for you is discussed at your consultation.
Who is Exion RF best for?
It tends to suit people with mild to moderate skin laxity, or concerns like texture, acne scarring, enlarged pores or fine lines, who want a non-surgical option with minimal downtime. It is not a substitute for surgery in cases of significant sagging or excess skin. At your consultation Dr. Karatzias will assess your skin and advise whether Exion — and which application — is the right fit, or whether another treatment would serve you better.
Is Exion RF an alternative to a surgical lift?
It can be a good non-surgical alternative for milder laxity, firming and refreshing the skin gradually rather than removing tissue. For more advanced sagging, a surgical lift usually achieves a more pronounced, longer-lasting change. The honest comparison for your particular concern is something Dr. Karatzias will talk through with you at your consultation.
