As the body ages, the skin undergoes structural and biochemical shifts that alter its firmness, hydration, and youthful radiance. While many turn to injectable dermal fillers or invasive cosmetic surgeries to restore lost facial volume, these interventions often yield unnatural results or carry significant risks of bruising, asymmetry, and recovery downtime. Modern aesthetic medicine has evolved, shifting toward non-invasive therapies that trigger the body’s own cellular regenerative pathways. In midtown Manhattan, Dr. John W. Phelts, D.C. offers EXION FACE—a revolutionary, non-invasive technology designed to naturally stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

The Biological Trifecta: Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen, and Elastin

To understand how skin loses its youthful structure, one must examine the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the dermis. The health and appearance of your skin depend on three vital biological components:

• Collagen: The primary structural protein in the connective tissue, providing tensile strength, firmness, and dense structural support to prevent sagging.
• Elastin: The elastic protein that allows skin tissue to stretch and snap back into place, maintaining flexibility around high-movement facial zones.
• Hyaluronic Acid (HA): A naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan capable of holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Hyaluronic acid creates internal skin volume, plumpness, and deep cellular hydration.

Beginning in your mid-twenties, fibroblast activity slows down, leading to an annual 1% decline in collagen levels alongside a rapid reduction in natural hyaluronic acid. This loss of internal moisture and structural support causes skin thinning, fine lines, deep wrinkles, and laxity around the cheeks and jawline.

 

The Science of EXION FACE: Monopolar RF and Targeted Ultrasound

Unlike conventional skin tightening procedures that rely solely on thermal damage to contract tissue, EXION FACE utilizes a patented, dual-technology applicator combining Monopolar Radiofrequency (RF) and Targeted Ultrasound simultaneously. This unique synergistic application achieves biological remodeling that single-energy devices cannot match.

The biological mechanisms of EXION FACE target skin regeneration through distinct cellular pathways:

• Radiofrequency for Collagen and Elastin Synthesis: The monopolar radiofrequency energy safely penetrates deep into the dermal layers, delivering controlled thermal energy. This precise heating stimulates localized fibroblast activity and triggers neocollagenesis and neoelastogenesis—the biological creation of new collagen and elastin fibers. Increasing these proteins tightens loose skin and restores dermal thickness.
• Targeted Ultrasound for Hyaluronic Acid Production: While radiofrequency enhances collagen and elastin, the simultaneous application of targeted ultrasound induces mechanical stress on dermal fibroblasts. This specific acoustic stimulation reactivates latent metabolic pathways, dramatically ramping up the body’s natural synthesis of hyaluronic acid without requiring synthetic injectable fillers.

Clinical studies evaluating this combined technology demonstrate an astounding 224% increase in natural hyaluronic acid levels, a 47% increase in collagen production, and a 50% improvement in skin hyperlaxity. This triple-action boost plumps, smooths, and firms the skin entirely from within.

Comfortable, Painless, and Zero Downtime

EXION FACE sessions are completely comfortable and non-invasive. The treatment requires no needles, no numbing creams, and leaves no redness or peeling behind. During a session, you feel only a pleasant warming sensation, similar to a relaxing hot stone facial massage. You can immediately return to your busy workday or personal activities in Midtown Manhattan with refreshed, hydrated, and radiant skin.

Reclaim your skin’s natural volume, firmness, and hydration from the inside out. Contact Phelts Chiropractic PC today at (212) 286-2012 to schedule your EXION FACE consultation with Dr. John W. Phelts, D.C.
