What to Expect
The Exion Process
Step 1
When you visit us for skin tightening in Atlanta, we’ll start you off with a consultation.
You’ll meet with one of our providers to go over your medical history and goals for treatment. Then we’ll examine your skin and talk through your customized treatment plan and answer any questions you have about the process. Most patients will start with a series of 3 treatments depending on their unique goals.
Step 2
At the beginning of each of your treatments, you’ll get to sit back and relax in one of our comfortable treatment chairs.
Your provider will prep your skin with a gentle cleanser and a topical numbing cream if needed. The treatment itself takes about 30 minutes as your provider gently glides the Exion handpiece over the treatment area.
Step 3
Some redness and swelling are normal immediately after your treatment, but that should fade within 24 to 48 hours.
Before you leave the office we’ll talk through any aftercare recommendations and get your next appointment scheduled. As your body starts producing more collagen and hyaluronic acid, you’ll begin to see improvements in your skin.
Pre-Care Instructions
Avoid Products with Harsh Ingredients
Refrain from using any skincare products with harsh or exfoliating ingredients for at least a week before your treatment.
Come With Clean Skin
We recommend coming to your appointment with clean, make-up-free skin to expedite your process.
Hydrate Well
Just like the rest of your body, your skin is made up of mostly water. Be sure to hydrate properly before your treatment.
Post-Care Instructions
Wear Sunscreen
Continuing to wear daily sunscreen protects your skin and prolongs your Exion results.
Hold Off on Makeup
To let your skin recover, avoid applying makeup or other products that may irritate the skin for at least 48 hours.
Use a Gentle Cleanser
It’s important to keep your skin clean as you recover, but be sure to only use gentle cleansers and moisturizers.

We also offer Emface as an excellent method for skin tightening in Atlanta. During your consultation, we can discuss which method may make the most sense for you based on your desired goals.
You can expect subtle changes within a few days, but it takes 4 to 6 weeks for the full effects to become evident. It takes time for your body to produce the new collagen and elastin, which means your results continue to improve over time. Most patients experience their peak results about 3 months after their final treatment.
We recommend planning to get your treatment at minimum 2 weeks prior, but ideally, you’d want your last treatment scheduled 4 to 6 weeks before your event. That gives your body time to recover and produce the results you’re looking for. That being said, getting Exion before an event, such as a wedding or another celebration, is a great way to make sure you look your best.
Most patients require a series of 3 treatments to start. Ultimately it depends on your skin’s condition and your desired results. We typically recommend 3 to 5 sessions for most patients, although some may require more or less.
Exion is not a painful treatment. We can use topical numbing cream before your treatment to help alleviate any discomfort if microneedeling is a part of the treatment plan.
Exion requires minimal downtime to recover. It’s normal to experience mild redness and swelling that typically resolves within 1 to 2 days after your session. Most patients can resume their normal activities on the same day with little interruption. We recommend avoiding wearing makeup for those first 48 hours to ensure the skin has time to heal properly.
Following a solid skincare routine is the first step in maintaining your Exion results. This includes protecting your skin from the sun by wearing sunscreen and avoiding prolonged exposure, drinking enough water, and eating a diet rich with vitamins and minerals. Adding in medical-grade skincare products is also beneficial. Cleansing your skin daily and applying a moisturizer are crucial parts of keeping your skin happy and healthy.

View AllHow Exion Tightens Your Skin
Exion RF Microneedling is a popular method for skin tightening in Atlanta. It works by creating micro-wounds that gently trigger the body’s natural healing process. When your skin is injured, your body automatically produces more collagen to restore the skin. By harnessing this natural ability, microneedling tightens the skin by strategically boosting collagen without leaving scars.
What Happens to Our Skin as We Age
The skin is your body’s largest organ and is made up primarily of two proteins called collagen and elastin. Collagen gives your skin its volume and elastin helps it retain its shape.
As you age, your skin produces less of these proteins, which naturally leads to changes like sagging and wrinkles. It also makes it harder for your skin to heal when damaged.
Humans are living longer than ever, but our skin hasn’t quite caught the evolutionary memo. That means that a lot of people are starting to see signs of aging sooner than they would like. However, thanks to technology, we have tools to help you look as young as you feel for as long as you’d like!
