The Concern

Why Body Skin Loosens and How Exion Body Helps

The abdomen, arms and thighs age on their own schedule

Body skin is thicker than facial skin, and it holds up well until it does not. Pregnancy, weight loss, hormone shifts and years of Mohave County sun thin the dermis until the stomach no longer snaps back, the skin above the elbow goes soft and crepey, and the thighs read dimpled in certain light.

Nothing here is fixed by the gym, because the issue is the collagen scaffolding under the skin rather than the muscle beneath it. Most patients tell us they feel fine in clothes and avoid the lake in a swimsuit.

Exion Body works below that surface story. Insulated needles carry radiofrequency heat directly into the dermis of the abdomen, arms or thighs, where collagen and elastin actually live. That controlled heat triggers a repair response, and over the following weeks your body rebuilds the support structure it has been quietly losing.

Because the energy is delivered underneath rather than burned across the top, most patients are back to normal life in a day or two while remodeling continues for months.

Understanding Your Treatment

What Is Exion Body?

Radiofrequency delivered beneath body skin

Exion Body is radiofrequency microneedling for the abdomen, upper arms and thighs. Insulated needles create micro-channels while radiofrequency energy releases from the needle tips into the dermis, where collagen and elastin live. It runs on the Exion platform from BTL Aesthetics, part of our body contouring care in Lake Havasu City.

Heat does the remodeling. Once the dermis reaches a therapeutic temperature, fibroblasts lay down fresh collagen over the following weeks, so firming keeps going. AI guided feedback reads tissue response and adjusts energy, keeping depth consistent from thin arm skin to thicker abdominal tissue.

Treatment Timeline:

Treatment Time:
45 to 75 minutes (depending on the area)
First Signs:
3 to 4 weeks (skin feels tighter)
Full Effect:
3 to 6 months (as collagen builds)
Recovery:

Candidacy

Is Exion Body Right for You?

A consultation is the honest answer

Exion Body suits people who are close to a stable weight and want firmer skin on the abdomen, arms or thighs without surgery. It is a skin quality treatment rather than a fat removal treatment, and it works well across the full range of skin tones. If your main goal is non surgical skin tightening, this is usually one of the first technologies we discuss.

Ideal Candidates for Exion Body

  • Adults with mild to moderate skin laxity on the abdomen, arms or thighs
  • Patients whose weight has been stable for at least three to six months
  • Anyone with crepey texture, older stretch marks or rough sun weathered body skin
  • People with a skin tone that makes ablative laser resurfacing risky
  • Patients who want gradual, natural looking change over a series of sessions
  • Those in good general health with realistic expectations

Who Should Wait or Avoid Exion Body

  • Anyone with an active skin infection, rash or open wound in the treatment area
  • Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • People with a pacemaker, defibrillator or other implanted electronic device
  • Anyone with metal implants or permanent fillers in the treatment zone
  • Patients on isotretinoin within the past six months
  • Those with a history of keloid scarring or poorly controlled diabetes

Implanted electronic devices and active infection are absolute contraindications. Bring your full medication list and medical history to your consultation so we can screen you properly before booking.

Your Visit

How an Exion Body Session Works

Roughly two hours door to door

  1. Consultation

    Your technician assesses skin quality on the abdomen, arms or thighs and maps treatment zones.

  2. Preparation

    Your technician cleanses the area and applies topical numbing cream for about forty minutes.

  3. Treatment

    Your technician passes the Exion Body handpiece across each zone while AI feedback adjusts energy.

  4. Aftercare

    A calming barrier cream goes on before your technician reviews your recovery plan and next session.

Exion Body Side Effects and Risks

What is normal and what is not

Common Exion Body Side Effects

Radiofrequency microneedling has a strong safety record when it is performed by trained providers on properly screened patients, but it is a real medical procedure and it carries real risks. The most common effects are expected rather than adverse: redness and warmth for one to two days, mild swelling, a gritty sandpaper texture as the micro-channels close, and occasional pinpoint bleeding or bruising. On the body this usually settles within seventy two hours.

Less Common Effects

Less common effects include temporary dryness or flaking, small tracking marks that fade over one to two weeks, and short lived sensitivity to body lotions and detergents. Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation is the risk that deserves the most attention in deeper skin tones, and it is largely preventable with conservative energy settings and disciplined sun protection.

Rare Complications and Safety

Rare complications include infection, prolonged redness and scarring. Call us at (928) 889-0155 if you develop spreading redness, pus, fever or pain that worsens rather than improves after day two.

The American Academy of Dermatology stresses provider training and sterile single use tips as the main safety variables.

Investment

Exion Body Cost

Priced around your plan, not a menu line

Exion Body is quoted at consultation because the variables are genuinely large. What drives the price is the size of the area, whether you are treating the abdomen alone or adding arms and thighs, how many sessions your skin quality calls for, and whether Exion Body sits inside a wider body plan alongside muscle or fat treatments.

Most patients need three to four sessions spaced about four weeks apart, then a maintenance session once or twice a year. Because a series is the norm, we price packages rather than single visits, and package pricing is meaningfully better than paying visit by visit. Memberships and seasonal offers can lower it further.

Financing is available through Cherry and CareCredit, both with plans that spread the cost across monthly payments. If dimpling rather than looseness is your main frustration, your consultation is the right moment to weigh this against our approach to cellulite on the thighs and buttocks so you spend on the treatment that matches your concern. Call (928) 889-0155 and we will walk you through it.

Common Questions

Exion Body Questions from Lake Havasu Patients

How much does Exion Body cost in Lake Havasu City?
Pricing is set at your consultation because it depends on the size of the area and how many sessions your skin needs. Treating the abdomen alone costs less than a plan that adds arms and thighs. Since most patients need three to four sessions, we quote packages rather than single visits, which lowers the per session cost. Cherry and CareCredit financing is available.
How long does an Exion Body appointment take?
Plan on about two hours door to door for a single area. Roughly forty of those minutes are numbing cream, and the treatment itself runs forty five to seventy five minutes depending on how much surface you are covering. Adding a second area extends the visit by twenty to thirty minutes. Your first appointment is slightly longer because it includes the consultation.
Does Exion Body hurt?
Most patients describe it as very manageable rather than painful. Topical numbing cream sits for about forty minutes first, so what you feel is pressure, warmth and a prickling sensation as the handpiece moves. Bonier zones like the outer thigh and the area near the hip tend to be more sensitive. Your technician adjusts depth and energy as she works, so speak up if anything feels sharp.
When will I see results from Exion Body?
First changes usually appear around three to four weeks as smoother texture and a tighter feel to the skin. Firmness improves most noticeably after your second and third session. Collagen keeps maturing for three to six months after your final visit, so the honest final result is judged about six months out rather than the week after treatment.
How many Exion Body sessions will I need?
Most people need three to four sessions spaced roughly four weeks apart. Significant laxity after weight loss or pregnancy may need five or six. After the initial series, one or two maintenance sessions a year help hold your result, since collagen loss continues naturally with age. Your plan is set at consultation and adjusted as we watch how your skin responds.
What areas can Exion Body treat?
Exion Body is used on the abdomen, the upper arms and the thighs, which are the areas where loose, crepey body skin bothers patients most. It can also be adapted to the knees and above the elbows. Anything on the face or neck is handled on a different applicator and a different protocol, so ask about facial options separately at your consultation.
Is Exion Body a fat removal or weight loss treatment?
No. Exion Body is a skin quality treatment that rebuilds collagen in the dermis, so it firms loose and crepey skin rather than removing fat or lowering the number on the scale. Patients who want fat reduction or muscle building are usually better served by a body contouring plan that combines technologies. We map that out honestly at consultation.
How is Exion Body different from Emtone?
Emtone delivers monopolar radiofrequency and targeted pressure energy across the surface, which suits cellulite dimpling and comes with no downtime. Exion Body sends radiofrequency through microneedles into the dermis, which reaches deeper for loose and crepey skin but costs you one to three days of recovery. Many patients use both across a full body plan.
Can Exion Body tighten loose skin after weight loss?
It firms mild to moderate laxity well, but it is not surgery. The heat contracts existing collagen and stimulates new collagen over months, which visibly improves crepey skin on the stomach and arms. Skin that hangs after major weight loss usually needs a surgical answer. We will tell you plainly at your consultation which category you fall into.
Is Exion Body safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, and this is one of its real strengths. Radiofrequency heat is not absorbed by melanin the way laser light is, so the pigment risk is much lower than with ablative resurfacing. We still use conservative settings and insist on sun protection over treated areas, because post inflammatory hyperpigmentation remains possible in any deeper skin tone.
When can I get back to the gym and the lake?
Skip the gym, hot tubs and the lake for forty eight hours, since sweat, chlorine and lake bacteria are the main infection risks while the micro-channels close. Light walking is fine the same day. Most patients are comfortable in normal clothing by day two and back to a full training routine by day three, with sun protection over the treated area.
