Exilis vs. Exion: Which Skin Tightening Treatment Is Right for You?
As we age, our skin loses elasticity, leading to sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles. Fortunately, non-invasive skin tightening treatments like Exilis and Exion offer effective solutions without the need for surgery. But what’s the difference between the two? And which one is right for your aesthetic goals?
At Sculpt AZ Medspa, we offer both Exilis and Exion to help you achieve firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Let’s break down how these treatments work and their key differences.
What Is Exilis?
Exilis Ultra 360 is a non-invasive skin tightening and body contouring treatment that combines radiofrequency (RF) and ultrasound technology to heat deep layers of the skin. This process stimulates collagen production, leading to:
✔ Tighter, firmer skin
✔ Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
✔ Fat reduction in targeted areas
Best for:
- Face & Body: Exilis can be used on multiple areas, including the face, neck, abdomen, arms, and thighs.
- Skin Tightening & Fat Reduction: It’s ideal for those who want to firm their skin and sculpt areas with stubborn fat.
- Mild to Moderate Skin Laxity: If you have mild sagging, Exilis can help improve your skin’s elasticity.
Treatment Experience:
- Painless with a warming sensation
- No downtime
- Sessions last 30–60 minutes
- Typically requires 4–6 treatments for optimal results
What Is Exion?
Exion RF Microneedling is an advanced radiofrequency microneedling treatment that delivers up to 8mm of RF energy into the skin—double the depth of standard RF microneedling devices. Exion also offers a hands-free applicator for deep skin rejuvenation without needles.
How It Works:
- The microneedling handpiece creates controlled micro-injuries, triggering collagen production.
- The RF energy penetrates deep into the skin, enhancing tightening and remodeling.
- The hands-free Exion applicator delivers ultrasound-enhanced RF energy without needles, making it great for sensitive areas like the under-eyes and lips.
Best for:
- Face & Delicate Areas: Exion RF microneedling improves fine lines, skin laxity, and acne scars.
- Deeper Rejuvenation: Delivers RF energy twice as deep as traditional microneedling for superior collagen stimulation.
- Plumping the Lips & Under-Eyes: The needle-free Exion applicator helps naturally enhance volume in areas where fillers aren’t always an option.
Treatment Experience:
- Minimal discomfort (a numbing cream is applied)
- Downtime of 1–3 days with mild redness
- Sessions last 30–45 minutes
- Typically requires 3–4 treatments for best results
Which One Is Right for You?
✔ Choose Exilis if you want a non-invasive skin tightening and body contouring treatment with zero downtime.
✔ Choose Exion if you want a more advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that plumps, tightens, and smooths fine lines.
