The Brightside Process

Skin Assessment

You’ll first meet with one of our providers for an in-depth skin consultation to determine which handpiece will best address your aesthetic needs. At this time, you and your provider will discuss the areas you’d like to target with Exion in Des Moines to create your personalized treatment plan.

A Transformative Treatment

Our team has the skills and experience necessary to help you achieve lasting results. During your Exion treatment, you will feel a subtle warmth as your provider runs the applicator over your treatment area to boost collagen and elastin production.

Glowing Results

Each handpiece offers varying benefits, leading to gradual improvements in skin laxity, a reduction of fat, smoother skin, and more. Over the course of your Exion treatment program, our experts recommend staying hydrated and undergoing 4 to 7 sessions to achieve optimal results.

How Exion Works

The Science Behind Each Exion Handpiece

Exion Face

Exion Face is a noninvasive treatment tool that uses radiofrequency energy and targeted ultrasound to boost the body’s production of hyaluronic acid. We recommend using this handpiece to smooth out wrinkles and skin texture in the face and neck, including the forehead, cheeks, and delicate areas around the eyes.

To prepare for your Exion Face treatment, our experts recommend discontinuing the use of retinoids, exfoliants, and harsh skincare treatments 2 to 4 weeks before your appointment. We also recommend avoiding sun exposure and wearing a 30 SPF sunscreen.

Exion Body

Similar to Exion Face, Exion Body combines radiofrequency energy and targeted ultrasound to address areas of unwanted fat. This applicator also boosts collagen production in 20 parts of the body, especially in hard-to-reach areas.

After your treatment, we recommend washing your face with a gentle, unscented soap and lukewarm water. Staying hydrated after your treatment is also of utmost importance. Drinking plenty of water will enhance your treatment efficacy and speed up the healing process.

Exion Fractional RF

Say goodbye to regular microneedling and hello to Exion Fractional RF! This handpiece uses monopolar radiofrequency and AI pulse control to improve the skin at multiple depths. We recommend this applicator to patients wanting to create a beautiful complexion with minimal discomfort.

Exion Clear RF

As a noninvasive smart microablation tool, Exion Clear RF combines radiofrequency energy and artificial intelligence to penetrate the deepest layers of the skin and clear acne breakouts and blemishes while restoring clarity. This applicator is a great option for patients wanting to reduce inflammation and improve the skin at a cellular level.
