Get to Know EXION RF Microneedling
EXION RF Microneedling is a treatment that combines fine needles with radiofrequency energy to support collagen and improve overall skin quality. The tiny needles create controlled micro channels in the skin while RF energy gently heats the deeper layers, encouraging a natural repair and remodelling response.
At Ocean Cosmetics in Perth, your EXION RF Microneedling plan is doctor led. We look closely at your texture, tone and early laxity, and talk about what bothers you most whether it is fine lines, pores, scars or general dullness. Your treatment settings are then tailored to your skin type, comfort level and downtime tolerance.
The EXION system is designed to deliver energy efficiently while supporting comfort. Treatments are usually performed in a series, with gradual changes in firmness, texture and clarity becoming more noticeable over time.
EXION RF Microneedling can sit alongside other skin therapies, laser and skincare as part of a long term plan to support healthy, resilient skin.

Ideal for
This treatment is ideal for people who feel their skin looks a little dull, uneven or finely lined and would like to support texture and firmness without surgery. It suits clients with mild acne scarring or enlarged pores, and those who are comfortable with a few days of redness or flaking in exchange for gradual improvement. EXION RF Microneedling is best for individuals who are ready to commit to a series of sessions and at home skincare, with suitability for different skin types always confirmed by a doctor at consultation.

Your journey starts with a doctor led consultation. We discuss your skin concerns, medical history and any previous procedures, then examine your skin under good lighting and sometimes photography. Together we decide whether EXION RF Microneedling is suitable and how it can fit within your overall skin plan.

Keep the treatment area free from irritation, active infections or open lesions.
Arrive with clean skin and no makeup, fake tan or heavy skincare on the treatment areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
EXION RF Microneedling combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy. The needles create micro channels in the skin, while RF energy heats the deeper layers to stimulate collagen more effectively than needling alone.
Most people feel a prickling or pressure sensation with warmth in the treated area. A topical numbing cream is often used beforehand to keep you comfortable during the procedure.
Many clients have a course of three to four sessions spaced several weeks apart, with maintenance as needed. The exact number depends on your concerns, such as scarring, lines or pores, and how your skin responds.
You can expect redness and mild swelling for one to three days, followed by light flaking or dryness. Most people feel comfortable returning to work or normal activities within a couple of days.
Some people notice their skin feels smoother and fresher within a week. Collagen related changes in firmness, fine lines and scars build gradually over several weeks to months as the skin remodels.
RF microneedling can be suitable for many skin types, including some deeper tones, because it targets deeper layers rather than just surface pigment. Your doctor will assess your skin and history to confirm that it is appropriate.
