Your skin is a direct reflection of your health. That’s why at Steamboat Face and Body in Steamboat Springs, CO, we believe in supporting your skin at the cellular level—because your skin deserves more than surface-level care. Naturally restore your skin’s cellular structure for healthy, firm, and hydrated skin with EXION® radiofrequency (RF) microneedling.
What Is EXION RF Microneedling?
EXION RF microneedling by BTL is a cutting-edge medical device that harnesses the power of radiofrequency energy, microneedling, and AI-powered depth control to kickstart your body’s natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—key components of healthy, glowing skin. As a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment, EXION is administered by your Steamboat Face and Body provider, under the expert guidance of Dr. James McCreight (Dr. Jim) and Dr. Wendy McCreight, whose experience with BTL devices ensures a comfortable and customized experience for every client.
How EXION RF Microneedling Works
EXION works by combining the benefits of traditional microneedling with RF energy. This treatment uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin while delivering fractional RF energy deep into the dermis. Together, this thoughtful, non-invasive path to healthier skin prompts cellular repair and regeneration. As micro-injuries occur on the skin, your body’s natural healing process is triggered, promoting the renewal of collagen and elastin, essential proteins that help keep skin firm, supple, and smooth.

Benefits of EXION RF Microneedling
EXION RF microneedling promotes the regeneration of healthy skin tissue for rejuvenated skin that glows from the inside out. Delivering deep results with controlled micro injuries, EXION is a safe, comfortable option for promoting long-term skin health.
- Stimulate Healthy Skin Components: Precise targeting stimulates fibroblast activity, prompting your body to rebuild lost collagen naturally, restore elasticity, and increase hyaluronic acid production.
- Comfortable Treatment: The EXION medical device utilizes AI depth adjustment for added precision and care, minimizing discomfort or unnecessary trauma to the skin’s surface.
- Treat Uneven Skin Tone and Texture: As collagen and elastin fibers are enhanced, the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks, and large pores is reduced.
- Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Working in the deeper layers of your skin, RF energy and microneedling prompt skin tightening benefits and help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
- Minimal Downtime: Combining microneedling with thermal energy helps EXION reach greater skin depth, without full needle insertion, allowing for a quick and minimal recovery time with little to no bleeding during treatment.
- Safe For All Skin Tones: RF energy heats the skin with precision, making EXION RF microneedling a gentle treatment for all skin types and tones.
EXION RF microneedling works beneath your skin’s surface for overall structural remodeling, leading to healthy skin from the inside out, all with minimal downtime. EXION RF microneedling offers a more direct but less invasive approach to healthy skin.

EXION RF Microneedling: What To Expect Before, During, and After
Consultation
Your EXION treatment begins with a personalized consultation focused on discussing your skin goals, medical history, and lifestyle. Together, we’ll explore how EXION can rejuvenate your skin, target your concerns, and fit seamlessly into your long-term wellness plan.
EXION Treatment
Before your treatment, a topical numbing agent can be applied to help minimize discomfort. This makes the microneedling virtually painless for most clients. During your treatment, you’ll feel a warm, vibrating sensation as the EXION RF microneedling device glides over your skin in a single pass. There is little to no bleeding from the controlled micro injuries and no harsh skin abrasions from this process.
Recovery
After treatment, you may experience mild redness for 24-48 hours, similar to a light sunburn. Most clients can return to their regular activities without a lengthy recovery period.
Results
As the microneedling and RF energy work at a cellular level, you’ll see smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is EXION different from traditional microneedling?
While traditional microneedling offers surface-level collagen stimulation, EXION adds radiofrequency microneedling for deeper skin rejuvenation. This process targets the dermis to not only stimulate collagen and elastin but also hyaluronic acid, all key components of smooth, firm, supple, and healthy-looking skin.
Can I wear makeup afterward?
After your EXION RF microneedling treatment, your skin may experience mild redness for about 24-48 hours after treatment, similar to a light sunburn. It’s advised that you wait at least 48 hours after treatment to let your skin recover before applying makeup.
Is it painful?
EXION RF microneedling is a generally well-tolerated skin rejuvenation treatment. Most clients liken the sensation to a warm vibration. However, numbing cream can be applied before treatment to reduce any discomfort.
Is there any peeling or downtime?
Unlike harsh chemical peels, which can leave skin peeling or bleeding, EXION RF microneedling treatments work beneath the skin’s surface to treat overall structural remodeling. This leaves skin intact with little to no bleeding and minimal downtime required.
Can it be used with other skin treatments?
Yes, as a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment, EXION RF microneedling can be complemented with other healthy skin and body treatments for whole-body wellness.
