LM SKINCENTRE Hong Kong introduces the latest BTL Exion™, which is an advanced aesthetic treatment platform developed by BTL, a renowned medical device manufacturer based in England. The Exion™ platform is both US FDA-cleared and CE-certified, ensuring its safety and efficacy in non-invasive dermatologic and aesthetic procedures.
What is the BTL Exion™ Procedure and How Does It Work?
The Exion™ platform offers a comprehensive approach to aesthetic treatments, featuring multiple modalities that address various skin and body concerns. Its key technologies include:
– Dual Energy Delivery for Hyaluronic Acid Production (Face Applicator): By combining monopolar RF and targeted ultrasound (TUS), Exion™ stimulates fibroblasts within the dermis, enhancing the natural synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin. This process leads to improved skin hydration, elasticity, and a reduction in wrinkles.
– Skin Laxity Improvement and Localized Fat Reduction (Body Applicator): The platform’s body applicator addresses skin laxity by boosting collagen and elastin production, resulting in improvement in skin laxity. Additionally, it can achieve up to a 22% reduction in localized fat deposits through targeted RF energy.
How Does Exion Face Technology Work?
Exion Face technology utilizes a patented combination of monopolar radiofrequency (RF) and targeted ultrasound to rejuvenate the skin. The RF energy uniformly heats the dermis to a temperature range of 40-42°C, inducing heat stress to fibroblasts and targeting aged collagen and elastin fibers. This process stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, improving skin structure and elasticity. Simultaneously, targeted ultrasound delivers mechanical stimulation to the reticular dermis, enhancing the natural production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin. This dual-energy approach leads to firmer, more hydrated, and youthful-looking skin.
How Many Treatments Will I Need? How Long Do the Results Last?
The recommended treatment protocol varies depending on the specific application and individual patient needs. Generally, a series of 6 sessions spaced 7-14 days apart is advised. Each session’s duration ranges from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Patients typically observe long-lasting results, with continued improvements up to six months post-treatment.
Is It Safe?
Exion™ has undergone extensive clinical evaluations, demonstrating its safety and effectiveness across various aesthetic applications. The platform’s intelligent system ensures precise energy delivery tailored to individual skin types, minimizing risks associated with traditional treatments.
What About Recovery?
Post-treatment, patients may experience mild redness or swelling in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few hours. To enhance results, it’s recommended to increase water intake on the day of treatment and engage in light physical activity, such as walking.
What Are the Side Effects?
Exion™ treatments are generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience temporary redness and dryness in the treated area, resolving within 48 hours.
Who is a Candidate for BTL Exion™?
Exion™ is suitable for adults aged 25 to 70+ seeking non-surgical cosmetic improvements. It’s particularly beneficial for individuals aiming to address signs of aging, skin laxity, wrinkles, and localized fat deposits that have not responded to other treatments.
What is the difference between Exilis® and Exion™ treatment?
Exilis® and Exion™ are both non-invasive aesthetic treatment platforms developed by BTL, while Exion™ is the latest 5th generation of RF. Exion™ is designed to address skin laxity, wrinkles, and body contouring. While they share similar goals, they differ in technology, treatment depth, and applications.
Technology:
- Exilis: Combines monopolar radiofrequency (RF) with ultrasound to heat deeper skin layers, stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin elasticity. This combination allows for effective skin tightening and wrinkle reduction.
- Exion: Incorporates advanced RF technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver precise energy, reaching deeper tissue layers with improved precision and depth. This technology enables targeted treatment of deeper skin concerns, promoting collagen production and skin rejuvenation.
Treatment Depth:
- Exilis: Primarily targets superficial to mid-level dermal layers, making it suitable for mild to moderate skin laxity and wrinkles.
- Exion: Capable of penetrating up to 8 millimeters into the skin, allowing it to address more severe skin laxity and deeper wrinkles effectively.
Applications:
- Exilis: Effective for skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and improving skin texture on the face and neck. It can also be used on other body areas for fat reduction and cellulite treatment.
- Exion: Offers a broader range of applications, including skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and treatment of deeper skin concerns. Its advanced technology allows for more precise and customizable treatments, making it suitable for a wider variety of aesthetic concerns.
Comfort and Precision:
- Exilis: Provides effective treatments with minimal discomfort, often described as a warming sensation during the procedure.
- Exion: Utilizes AI-controlled energy delivery for a more comfortable experience with personalized treatments, minimizing discomfort associated with deep tissue treatments.
Why Choose BTL Exion™?
