EXION RF Microneedling in Algonquin, IL
Smoother, Firmer Skin With Minimal Downtime
If fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, or loss of firmness are bothering you, EXION RF microneedling can help renew your skin from within. It’s our #1 best-selling RF microneedling treatment at Vigeo Care Center & Aesthetics in Algonquin, IL.
This FDA-cleared, AI-guided treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate your skin’s own collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Every treatment is performed by licensed medical professionals after a consultation, and results can be enhanced with Plated™ Exosomes.
We welcome patients from Algonquin and nearby communities like Lake in the Hills, Crystal Lake, and Huntley.
WHAT IS EXION?
Microneedling and Radiofrequency, Guided by AI
EXION fractional RF microneedling combines two proven techniques. Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries that activate your skin’s natural repair response, while monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy gently heats deeper layers to support tightening and renewal.
EXION’s AI-guided system adjusts energy delivery for consistent, comfortable treatment in a single pass. Its extended mode creates a controlled thermal gradient that reaches up to 8 mm deep without full needle insertion, supporting deeper remodeling with a focus on your comfort.
