The Problem
When Your Skin Starts Telling a Different Story
Volume loss changes everything
Starting in your late 20s, collagen production slows by roughly 1% per year. By your 40s, that cumulative loss becomes visible — skin that once snapped back now sags, fine lines deepen into wrinkles, and the youthful contours of your face begin to flatten. Environmental factors like sun exposure, stress, and seasonal Florida humidity accelerate this decline. Many patients feel their outer appearance no longer matches how vibrant they feel inside, and traditional skincare products simply can't address structural collagen loss at the dermal level.
BTL's Exion device delivers monopolar radiofrequency energy combined with targeted ultrasound directly into the dermis and subcutaneous tissue — the layers where collagen and elastin actually live. This dual-energy approach triggers a controlled thermal response that stimulates new collagen synthesis and remodels existing fibers without surgery, injectables, or significant downtime. At Enclave Dental, Dr. Shah integrates Exion into a holistic aesthetic philosophy: your smile and your skin should both reflect the confidence you carry within.
Understanding Your Treatment
What Is Exion Treatment?
Monopolar RF + Targeted Ultrasound Technology
Exion is a next-generation aesthetic device by BTL Aesthetics that combines monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy with targeted ultrasound to stimulate collagen production, tighten skin, and improve overall skin quality — all without needles, surgery, or significant recovery time. It is FDA-cleared for non-invasive skin tightening and body contouring.
The treatment works through a precisely controlled thermal effect: monopolar RF waves penetrate deep into the dermis, heating tissue to a therapeutic temperature that triggers fibroblast activation and new collagen synthesis. Simultaneously, the ultrasound component enhances energy delivery and stimulates hyaluronic acid production within the skin. Together, these mechanisms remodel the dermal matrix and restore the structural integrity that gives skin its lift and firmness. Unlike superficial laser or light-based treatments, Exion reaches the deeper layers where lasting structural change occurs.

Real Patient Results
Before & After
Patients typically begin noticing firmer skin and improved texture within 4–6 weeks of their first Exion session. As collagen continues to remodel over the following months, improvements deepen — with most patients reporting peak results at the 3–6 month mark after completing their recommended series of 3–4 treatments. Individual results vary based on age, skin condition, and treatment plan.

Exion Treatment FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
01 What is Exion and how is it different from other skin treatments?
Exion is a BTL Aesthetics device that combines monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy with targeted ultrasound to stimulate collagen production and tighten skin. Unlike standalone RF or laser treatments, the dual-energy approach delivers energy deeper into the dermis — stimulating collagen and hyaluronic acid simultaneously for more comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
02 How does the Exion treatment feel?
Most patients describe Exion as a warm, comfortable sensation — similar to a hot stone massage on the face. The treatment is generally well tolerated with no need for numbing cream. Your provider adjusts intensity to your comfort level throughout the session.
03 What is Exion used for?
Exion is used for non-invasive skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, facial contouring, and overall skin quality improvement. It targets the face, neck, under-eye area, décolletage, and other body areas where skin laxity or aging is a concern.
04 How much does Exion cost?
At Enclave Dental in Lake Mary, a single Exion face session typically ranges from $400–$700, with package series pricing available. The total investment depends on the number of areas treated and sessions recommended. Contact us at (407) 323-1010 for personalized pricing.
05 What is the difference between Exion and RF microneedling?
RF microneedling (like Morpheus8) uses tiny needles to create micro-channels and deliver RF energy into the skin, which also causes surface-level exfoliation. Exion is completely needle-free — it uses monopolar RF and ultrasound transcutaneously, making it a better option for those who prefer a non-invasive approach or need minimal downtime.
06 How many Exion sessions do I need?
Most patients benefit from a series of 3–4 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart. A maintenance session every 6–12 months helps sustain results. Dr. Shah will recommend the right protocol based on your individual skin condition and goals during your consultation.
07 Is Exion painful?
Exion is designed to be comfortable. You will feel warmth and mild pressure during treatment, but most patients do not find it painful. No anesthesia or numbing is required. If you have sensitivity concerns, let Dr. Shah know and she will adjust the settings accordingly.
