What it Treats
Harnessing Ultrasonic Energy for Your Skin
Are you looking for a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that can help you achieve flawless skin?
The Exion device is an innovative treatment that combines traditional microneedling with the added benefit of radiofrequency (RF) energy to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, tighten sagging skin, minimize pores, and enhance overall skin tone and firmness. With its impressive range of benefits, RF Microneedling is the perfect solution for anyone looking to achieve healthy, youthful-looking skin without surgery.
What To Expect
The RF Microneedling Process
If you are looking for full-face rejuvenation with RF Microneedling in Hilton Head, we will first apply a topical numbing agent. Exion creates micro-tracks in the skin’s deeper layers, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin.
Your skin may appear red, swollen, and sensitive after treatment. We will provide post-treatment care instructions to follow at home to reduce swelling.

Two Treatment Options, One Device
Ocean Aesthetics and Dental has invested in both the Exion RF Microneedling device and the Exion RF face applicator to provide custom treatment options for our patients’ unique needs.
Targeted Ultrasound
Looking for zero downtime and a comfortable experience? Our Exion face applicator delivers targeted ultrasound energy into the skin to lift and tighten. It also increases your own skin’s natural ability to produce hyaluronic acid by up to 223%. We can use targeted ultrasound to treat the whole face, but most often treat specific areas like the eyes, lips, neck, and hands.
RF Microneedling
The Exion RF Microneedling treatment combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency. The micro-needles penetrate the skin, and the device can then be custom-tuned to deliver the RF energy into specific depths of the skin based on your concerns. This technique is highly effective for treating fine lines and smoothing over areas of mild to moderate skin texture or scarring.

- Moisturizer with hyaluronic acid twice daily
- Avoid exposing the treated area to the sun for a few days

Ocean Aesthetics & Dental Team
Yes, RF Microneedling is safe for all skin types. However, consulting with a qualified skincare professional is essential to determine if it is the right treatment for your specific skin concerns and conditions. We welcome you to our practice in Hilton Head to discuss your aesthetic needs and assess you for candidacy for RF Microneedling.
While some discomfort may be experienced during the procedure, most individuals tolerate RF Microneedling well. To minimize any discomfort, you may opt for us to apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area before the procedure.
The number of required RF Microneedling sessions varies depending on individual skin concerns and treatment goals. However, most people benefit from 3 treatments, spaced approximately four to six weeks apart. We may recommend maintenance sessions annually to sustain your results over time.
Compared to more invasive procedures, RF Microneedling typically involves minimal to no downtime. Patients may experience redness immediately following the treatment, which usually subsides within a few days. Makeup may be applied a few days after treatment.
Results from RF Microneedling are gradual and continue to improve over several weeks to months as the skin’s natural collagen production is stimulated. Many patients notice visible improvements in their skin texture and firmness within 4 to 6 weeks.
