Cincinnati EXION: RF Microneedling and Skin Tightening

Tighten, smooth, and refine. No surgery required

Tighten, smooth, and refine. No surgery required.

EXION is BTL’s non-invasive radiofrequency microneedling and skin tightening system. It combines microneedling with radiofrequency heat to tighten skin and refine texture in a single treatment, addressing skin laxity, fine lines, and uneven texture at the same time. And because it can be used on the face or the body, EXION reaches areas well beyond the face.

Our Cincinnati EXION treatment brings the same specialist expertise we use for periodontal and implant surgery to your skin. Led by Dr. Stacey Blume, DMD, MS, our team works on the muscles, soft tissue, and anatomy of the face every day; knowledge that helps make every treatment precise, safe, and tailored to your goals.

The benefits of EXION

Firmer, tighter skin

Radiofrequency heat works below the surface to tighten skin and help restore lost firmness.

Smoother texture, fewer fine lines

Microneedling refines texture and softens fine lines, so skin looks fresher and more even.

Face or body

EXION isn’t limited to the face, it can address skin laxity and texture on targeted areas of the body, too.

Two concerns, one treatment

By pairing microneedling with radiofrequency in the same session, EXION tightens skin and refines texture together.

EXION and EmFace: a layered facial aesthetics plan

EXION often pairs well with EmFace as part of a layered plan. Where EXION focuses on tightening skin and refining texture, EmFace uses synchronized radiofrequency and HIFES muscle stimulation to lift and tone the muscles beneath. Many patients benefit from combining the two, and we’ll map out the right sequencing for your goals at your consultation.

Frequently asked questions about Cincinnati EXION

What does EXION treat?

EXION targets skin laxity, fine lines, and uneven texture, and can be used on both the face and the body. During your consultation, we’ll confirm whether EXION treatment in Cincinnati fits the concerns you’d like to address.

Is EXION only for the face?

No. One of the advantages of EXION is that it can be used on the face or the body, so it can address firmness and texture on targeted areas beyond the face.

What’s the difference between EXION and EmFace?

EXION uses radiofrequency microneedling to tighten skin and refine texture, and can be used on the face and body. EmFace is a hands-free, needle-free treatment that uses synchronized radiofrequency with HIFES muscle stimulation, primarily on the face. The two address different concerns and often work well together; we’ll recommend the right combination at your consultation.

Why choose a dental specialist for EXION?

Facial aesthetics depend on a deep understanding of the muscles, soft tissue, and anatomy of the face: exactly what a periodontist and implant specialist works with every day. That expertise means safer, more precise, more natural-looking results from EXION in Cincinnati.
