Exion Treatments in Brookline, MA

Because all three applicators sit on the same platform in the same room, availability never settles the choice. What settles it is the layer responsible: the dermis, the deeper support, or the surface. The lists below mirror what Dr. Stock asks at the consultation.

Choose Exion RF Microneedling If...

• Your main complaint is texture: enlarged pores on the cheeks and nose, roughness, or makeup that settles unevenly
• You have shallow or rolling acne scarring that catches shadow in side light
• The neck or decolletage has developed a crepey, finely lined quality
• You can accept one to three days of redness and a course of three to four sessions
• You want the longest-lasting result of the three, typically twelve to eighteen months

This is the deepest-acting applicator and the only one that breaks the skin, which is why it is the one paired with exosomes. If needles are a firm no, Exion Clear covers much of the same surface territory with less depth. Candidacy and contraindications are on the Exion microneedling page.

Choose Exion Face If...

• Skin has lost firmness along the cheeks, jawline or neck but the texture is still reasonably smooth
• You want no needles, no numbing cream and no visible recovery
• Skin looks dull or dehydrated and moisturiser has stopped making a difference
• You are treating early laxity and want to hold it rather than reverse an advanced change
• You are planning Emface and want the skin over the muscle treated at the same time

Exion Face treats support, not surface. It will not close pores or flatten a scar, and it will not lift a heavy jowl on its own; where laxity is advanced, the honest answer may be a surgical referral. For early softening in the forties and fifties it is the sensible starting point. Details are on the needle-free Exion Face page.

Choose Exion Clear If...

• Tone is the problem: patchy sun-related discolouration, redness or a generally uneven complexion
• Fine crepey lines have appeared on the neck, chest or around the eyes
• You want a resurfacing result without the downtime of an ablative laser
• Needles are not an option but the surface still needs to change
• You are prepared to protect the result with daily sunscreen through and after the course

Exion Clear is the surface applicator. Its fractional pattern spares most of the skin between treated points, which keeps recovery to a day or two. It reaches less deeply than microneedling, so deep scarring is better served there, and it does not address laxity. Read the Exion Clear resurfacing page for candidacy and aftercare.

When to Combine EXION Applicators

Combinations are common because most faces have more than one problem. Exion Face and Exion Clear pair well: one firms the support, the other refines the surface, and neither needs recovery. RF microneedling and Exion Clear are sequenced rather than stacked, deeper treatment first. The most frequent combination in this practice is EXION with Emface muscle toning, which lifts the muscle layer that no skin treatment reaches. Where frown lines between the brows are part of the picture, Botox Cosmetic is added separately. The rule is one layer at a time, in an agreed order, so each result can be judged on its own.

What to Expect from EXION Treatment in Brookline

The process is identical across the three applicators until the treatment itself. The applicator decision happens at step two.

1. Complimentary Consultation. Dr. Sara Stock, DDS examines skin, muscle and bone structure together, photographs the face and identifies which layer is driving the concern. Book your EXION consultation in Brookline.
2. Applicator and Plan. One applicator or a sequence is chosen, the areas agreed (face, neck, decolletage) and the total cost confirmed before anything is scheduled.
3. Preparation. Retinoids and exfoliating acids stop five days ahead of microneedling or Clear sessions. Exion Face needs nothing beyond clean skin.
4. Treatment Sessions. Thirty to sixty minutes per visit depending on the applicator, spaced according to the plan, with energy adjusted to your comfort.
5. Review and Maintenance. Progress is photographed against baseline at about three months, and maintenance sessions are planned once or twice a year.
