Improving skin quality — with medical supervision.
Acne, acne scarring, pigmentation changes or early lines: with the Exion system we offer medical microneedling and gentle skin resurfacing at your gynaecology practice — performed by a doctor, with temperature monitoring built into the handpiece.
The Exion system at a glance
Briefly explained: microneedling with radiofrequency for skin regeneration.
Also for hormonally driven acne where other routes are not enough — matched to your gynaecological history.
Very fine microneedles stimulate the skin’s own regeneration and collagen formation.
Stimulating the body’s own hyaluronic acid production for more volume and firmness — without a syringe.
Who is this for?
Medical supervision rather than a beauty salon — with an eye on hormonal causes.
Gentle resurfacing for a more even complexion.
Ageing well, to us, means strengthening your skin rather than changing it.
The temperature is monitored by the device throughout the treatment. Indication, consent and the treatment itself are handled by one of our doctors.
Studies & effectiveness
Microneedling — particularly combined with radiofrequency — is among the better studied minimally invasive skin procedures. A selection:
16 studies, 481 patients: radiofrequency microneedling effective as monotherapy for acne scarring, with mild and temporary side effects.
42 controlled studies on radiofrequency microneedling: effective for skin rejuvenation, acne scarring and acne among others — and safe to use on darker skin types.
Honestly: limits & requirements
Microneedling with radiofrequency improves skin texture and firmness. It does not lift sagging tissue and is no substitute for surgery — anyone expecting a surgical-level lift will be disappointed, and we say so beforehand.
Deep acne scars require several courses, and some scarring will remain visible.
Afterwards the skin is red for one to three days, much like mild sunburn — consistent sun protection is essential during this time. Do not schedule the appointment right before an important occasion.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding · acute skin infection or inflammation in the treatment area · active acne in the treatment area · tendency to keloid scarring · isotretinoin within the past six months · active cancer · blood clotting disorders · implanted electronic devices · recent tanning.
Frequently asked questions about Exion
What does the treatment feel like?
You feel warmth and a fine pricking sensation. Before the treatment we apply a numbing cream that needs around 30 minutes to take effect. The treatment itself takes 20 to 40 minutes depending on the area.
How long will my skin stay red afterwards?
The skin is usually red for one to three days, much like mild sunburn, and sometimes slightly swollen. Consistent sun protection is essential during this time. Do not schedule the appointment right before an important occasion.
How many sessions, and what does it cost?
One session for the face costs €500 including VAT. Three to four sessions four weeks apart are usual. The price for smaller areas depends on the extent of treatment and is agreed in writing in advance. You can pay for each session individually or make an advance payment towards the series.
What do the studies say?
Radiofrequency microneedling is among the better studied minimally invasive skin procedures. A 2025 systematic review analysed 16 studies with 481 treated patients and found the method effective for acne scarring, with mild and temporary side effects. A 2021 critical review examined 42 controlled studies.
In context: these papers concern the method, not the Exion system specifically. How pronounced the result is depends on skin type, age and starting condition. We cannot promise you a particular outcome.
When will I see a result?
Building collagen takes time. The result develops over several months after the final session. Deep acne scars require several courses, and some scarring will remain visible.
Who carries out the treatment?
Indication, consent and the treatment itself are handled by one of our doctors. The temperature is monitored by the device throughout.
Who is the treatment not suitable for?
We are not allowed to treat during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with acute skin infection or inflammation in the treatment area, active acne in the treatment area, a tendency to keloid scarring, isotretinoin taken within the past six months, active cancer, blood clotting disorders, implanted electronic devices, or recent tanning.
Will my health insurance cover the cost?
No. This is a self-pay service without medical necessity in the insurers’ sense, and it is reimbursed by neither statutory nor private health insurance. The price includes statutory VAT.
