Aging is a natural part of life, but it can be a little hard to accept when you see yourself changing in the mirror. As the years go by, our appearance may not always reflect the vibrant energy we feel inside—fine lines, volume loss, and wrinkles can make us feel older and self-conscious about our skin.
If you want to say goodbye to fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity, a treatment for facial rejuvenation in Mechanicsville could give you just what you need. At Chandler Eye Care Specialists, we offer Exion Face ultrasound skin treatments to help you feel and look like you again.
In this guide, we walk you through what to expect during your ultrasound skin rejuvenation treatment, so you can feel confident every step of the way.
Your Custom Consultation
To start your journey, you attend a curated consultation that helps our team learn about you. During this time, we will discuss your goals and concerns and assess your skin to find the right treatments for your needs.

Before Your Treatment…
In the weeks leading up to your initial treatment, our team recommends a few pre-care steps to ensure you start your Exion rejuvenation on the right foot
- Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks before treatment.
- Refrain from using retinol, salicylic acids, exfoliants, and tretinoin creams for at least 2 weeks before your appointment.
- Do not ingest any blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin and fish oil, for 1 week before treatment to avoid bruising.
- Abstain from waxing the treatment area for 1 week prior to the appointment.
The Exion Treatment
On the day of your appointment, arrive at your treatment session with clean, makeup-free skin. We’ll guide you to our relaxing treatment room and have you sit in a special chair. After cleansing your skin, your practitioner will apply ultrasound gel and move the treatment applicator across your skin.
Each session only takes about 30 minutes to complete, and you may feel a sensation of heat or tingling during the process. And because Exion is nonsurgical and noninvasive, you don’t have to worry about cuts, snips, or needles.
We also offer the application of exosomes on the treated area at the end of the treatment. This can greatly enhance the rejuvenation of the skin, reduce inflammation and pigmentation, and speed the healing process.
After Your Treatment…
After your ultrasound therapy appointment, you can take these steps to maximize and prolong your results. Our team recommends that you:
- Avoid sun exposure for at least a week after treatment. If you must go out into the sun, wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
- Refrain from strenuous physical activity and excessive sweating for 3 days after the treatment. Heating your body can make any inflammation worse.
- Do not use abrasive cleansers, scrubs, or exfoliants on the treatment area for a week after the appointment.
- Abstain from applying makeup or other skincare products immediately after treatment. After a few hours, you may apply a lightweight, fragrance free moisturizer to the treatment area.
- Do not ingest any NSAIDs like ibuprofen for at least 3 days after treatment.
Your Results
Initial results usually start appearing about a week after treatment. You will notice a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles as the ultrasound stimulates your natural collagen production. Because Exion helps your skin rebuild itself over time, the most optimal results often appear within 2 to 3 months.
Our team recommends an initial treatment program of 4 to 5 sessions. Once you finish your initial series, your results should last up to a year. After that, you can return for maintenance treatments as needed.
