Firmer Skin, Naturally

Exion Face Skin Tightening That Works With Your Own Skin

Exion Face brings non-surgical skin tightening to Franklin, TN without needles, injections or recovery time. The applicator pairs monopolar radiofrequency with targeted ultrasound to encourage your skin to rebuild its own hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin, so skin looks firmer, smoother and more hydrated over a series of visits. Clients from Brentwood, Cool Springs and Spring Hill choose it when they want a refreshed look that still looks like them.

Every Exion Face session is planned and performed by Nancy Siphonexay-Vadnais, our lead esthetician. Nancy trained at the Aveda Institute in 2017 and completed advanced medical aesthetics training at the National Institute of Medical Aesthetics in 2019, and she has spent 7 of her 9 years in aesthetics on advanced treatments. She listens first, then builds a plan around your skin and your goals.

The Challenge

Why Skin Loosens and How Exion Face Helps

Laxity starts beneath the surface

With time, the skin makes less collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Collagen and elastin give skin its structure and spring, while hyaluronic acid holds water that keeps skin plump. As all three decline, skin thins, loses bounce and begins to soften along the cheeks, jawline and neck. Sun exposure, stress and poor sleep can speed that change. Creams work at the surface, so they rarely reach the layers where firmness is lost.
Exion Face reaches those deeper layers without breaking the skin. Monopolar radiofrequency gently warms the dermis, and targeted ultrasound is delivered at the same time. Research on this pairing shows it can prompt skin to boost its own hyaluronic acid, which supports hydration and firmness. Over a series of sessions, clients see smoother, tighter looking skin with no needles, no fillers and no time away from work.

Understanding the Technology

What Is Exion Face?

Radiofrequency plus targeted ultrasound

Exion Face is a needle-free skin tightening applicator on the FDA-cleared BTL Exion platform. It pairs monopolar radiofrequency with targeted ultrasound to treat mild laxity, dull or dehydrated skin and early loss of firmness. It is one of several options in our facial rejuvenation treatments in Franklin, TN.

Radiofrequency warms the deeper skin layers while ultrasound energy is delivered alongside it, and a human histology study reported that this approach boosted the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid. Treatment feels like a warm massage. Firmness builds over the following weeks.

Candidacy

Who Is a Good Candidate for Exion Face?

Honest answers at consultation

Exion Face suits adults who want firmer, better hydrated skin without needles or recovery time. If you have early sagging skin along the cheeks and jawline, it is a gentle place to start.

Ideal Candidates for Exion Face

  • Adults with mild to moderate skin laxity on the face or neck
  • Skin that looks dull, dry or less plump than it used to
  • People who prefer a needle-free, filler-free option
  • Anyone who cannot take time off for recovery
  • Clients willing to complete a series and let results build

Who Should Wait or Choose Something Else

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • A pacemaker, implanted defibrillator or other implanted electronic device
  • Metal implants in the treatment area
  • Active skin infection, open wounds or irritation in the area
  • Advanced laxity that may be better served by a surgical consultation

Published work on patient selection for skin tightening shows that realistic expectations and the right starting point matter as much as the device. Nancy will tell you honestly whether Exion Face is the right fit.

Exion Face Side Effects and Safety

What to watch for

Common Exion Face Side Effects

Exion Face is non-invasive and does not break the skin, so side effects are usually mild and short lived. Some clients notice warmth, slight redness or a flushed look for a few hours after a session. Light swelling or tenderness is uncommon and settles quickly.

Rare Complications

As with any energy-based device, overheating can rarely cause irritation or a burn. A systematic review of radiofrequency skin tightening devices found these treatments to be generally well tolerated, with complications being uncommon when devices are used properly.

Safety and Screening

Nancy screens every client before treatment for pregnancy, implanted electronic devices and metal implants in the area, and she monitors skin comfort throughout each pass. If you notice redness that worsens or blistering after a session, call us at (615) 628-7419. If Exion Face is not the right match, we may suggest Emface for needle-free lifting, RF microneedling for texture and pores or Exion Clear for pigmentation.

Results You Can Expect

Exion Face Results

Skin tightening with Exion Face builds gradually. Many clients notice a fresher, more hydrated look within days of a session, with firmness improving over the following weeks as collagen and elastin respond. Your result depends on your starting skin, age, lifestyle and the number of sessions, and we review progress with you along the way.

Exion Face FAQ

How much does Exion Face cost in Franklin, TN?
Exion Face pricing is personalized and quoted at your consultation. The cost depends on the areas treated and how many sessions your skin needs, and most clients follow a series. Patient financing through Cherry is coming soon, so ask us about financing options when you visit.
How long does an Exion Face session take?
Most Exion Face sessions take about 30 minutes, depending on the areas treated. There is no numbing or recovery time, so the appointment fits easily into a lunch break or a Tuesday, Friday or Saturday errand run in Franklin.
Does Exion Face hurt?
Exion Face is comfortable for most people and feels like a warm massage. There are no needles and nothing is injected. Nancy adjusts the settings during your session and checks in often, so tell her if anything feels too warm and she will fine-tune the treatment.
When will I see results from Exion Face?
Many clients see a fresher, more hydrated look within a few days of a session. Firmer, tighter looking skin builds over the following weeks as your skin produces more collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, with the fullest change appearing after you complete your series.
How many Exion Face sessions will I need?
Most clients benefit from a series of sessions spaced over several weeks. Nancy recommends a number based on your skin laxity, age and goals during your consultation, then suggests periodic maintenance visits to help keep skin looking firm as it continues to age naturally.
How long do Exion Face results last?
Results from Exion Face can last for months, and maintenance sessions help extend them. Your skin keeps aging, so results depend on lifestyle factors like sun protection, sleep and skin care. We will suggest a maintenance rhythm that fits your skin and your schedule.
How is Exion Face different from ultrasound skin tightening like HIFU?
Exion Face pairs radiofrequency with targeted ultrasound in a single needle-free treatment with no downtime. HIFU uses focused ultrasound alone at deeper layers and sessions tend to be longer. Exion Face also focuses on boosting the skin’s own hyaluronic acid for hydration along with firmness.
Is Exion Face better than fillers?
Exion Face and fillers do different jobs. Fillers inject a gel to add volume right away, while Exion Face encourages your skin to rebuild its own hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin with no needles. Clients who want gradual, natural looking firmness without injections often prefer Exion Face.
Who is a good candidate for Exion Face?
Adults with mild to moderate skin laxity, dull or dehydrated skin, or early loss of firmness are good candidates for Exion Face. We see men and women of many ages. People with advanced laxity may need a surgical opinion, and Nancy will tell you honestly what Exion Face can change.
Can I combine Exion Face with other treatments?
Yes, Exion Face can often be combined with other needle-free facial treatments. Some clients pair it with Emface for muscle toning and lift, or with RF microneedling for texture. Nancy will map out the order and spacing of treatments during your consultation so each one supports the other.
