– Skin Rejuvenation in Calgary SW
Skin Rejuvenation
Great skin starts beneath the surface. At Westside Dental in West Springs, Calgary, our skin rejuvenation treatments go deeper than creams, peels, or light therapies – rebuilding your skin’s structural foundation from within. Using EXION™ by BTL, we offer two clinically proven, non-invasive facial treatments that stimulate your body’s own production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid – the three proteins responsible for firm, smooth, hydrated skin. Whether you’re dealing with fine lines, skin laxity, dull texture, acne scars, large pores, or early signs of aging, we have a treatment designed to address it precisely and effectively.
What’s Really Happening to Your Skin
Understanding why skin changes is the first step to treating it well. As we age – and even from our late twenties – the skin begins to produce less of three critical proteins
Your Skin
Collagen keeps skin firm and structurally supported. When collagen breaks down, skin sags, fine lines deepen, and the face loses its youthful contour.
Elastin gives skin its bounce and resilience – its ability to spring back after movement. As elastin decreases, skin becomes looser and less responsive.
Hyaluronic acid is the skin’s natural hydrator, responsible for plumpness, glow, and that dewy, healthy appearance. Its decline is one of the earliest and most visible signs of skin aging.
Sun exposure, stress, lifestyle factors, and genetics all accelerate this process. Topical products can support the skin’s surface, but they cannot rebuild these proteins at the dermal level – which is exactly what our EXION treatments do.
Two Treatments. Clinically Proven. Tailored to You.
At Westside Dental, we offer two distinct EXION treatments for facial skin rejuvenation. Your provider will recommend the right option – or a combination of both – based on your skin type, concerns, and goals.
EXION™ Face – Needle-Free Skin Renewal
EXION Face is the first non-invasive, needle-free procedure clinically proven to boost hyaluronic acid production in the skin. Using a patented combination of monopolar radiofrequency (RF) and targeted ultrasound – guided by built-in AI – EXION Face delivers controlled energy deep into the dermis, triggering your skin to rebuild its own collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid from within.
The result is skin that looks and feels genuinely healthier – firmer, smoother, more hydrated, and more radiant – without any injections, downtime, or recovery time.
What EXION Face treats
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Skin laxity and loss of firmness
- Dull, dehydrated, or uneven complexion
- Large pores
- Loss of natural facial volume and plumpness
- Early signs of skin aging
What makes it different: Unlike traditional RF devices that work only at the surface, EXION Face combines RF with ultrasound energy and AI precision to reach the mid-to-deep dermis – the layer where collagen and hyaluronic acid are actually produced. The AI monitors your skin’s response in real time and adjusts energy delivery accordingly, making every treatment precisely calibrated to you.

EXION™ Fractional RF – Advanced Skin Resurfacing
For patients with more established skin concerns — acne scarring, deeper lines, significant skin laxity, or uneven texture – EXION Fractional RF delivers a deeper level of treatment using the most advanced form of RF microneedling available.
What sets EXION Fractional RF apart is its combination of monopolar RF with AI-controlled pulse technology, which creates a thermal gradient beneath the needle tips that reaches up to 8mm below the skin’s surface – deeper than any comparable microneedling device – without requiring full needle insertion. This means exceptional remodelling results with a more comfortable experience and significantly less downtime than traditional RF microneedling.
What EXION Fractional RF treats
- Acne scars and post-breakout skin irregularities
- Deeper lines and wrinkles
- More significant skin laxity and sagging
- Uneven or rough skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
Treatment details
- Session length: 30–45 minutes (including numbing time)
- Course: 3–4 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart
- Numbing: Topical numbing cream applied before treatment for comfort
- Downtime: Mild redness for 24-48 hours – most patients return to normal activities the following day
- Suitable for: All skin types
- Full results: Develop over 3 months as collagen remodelling progresses
- Longevity: 12-18 months

Not sure which is right for you? Book a skin consultation and your provider will assess your skin, listen to your goals, and make a clear recommendation – or suggest combining both for the most comprehensive result.
Your Skin Rejuvenation Experience
Step 1 – Skin Consultation Your provider assesses your skin type, key concerns, and aesthetic goals. We’ll recommend the right treatment – or a phased combination approach – and give you a realistic picture of what to expect and when.
Step 2 – Treatment For EXION Face, the applicator is gently glided across the skin with a comfortable warming sensation throughout. For EXION Fractional RF, topical numbing is applied first, then the microneedling handpiece is pressed methodically across the treatment area – most patients find it very well tolerated once numbing takes effect.
Step 3 – Walk Out EXION Face has zero downtime. EXION Fractional RF patients typically experience mild redness for 24-48 hours – similar to a mild sunburn – which settles quickly. Both treatments allow you to return to normal daily activities the same day or the following morning.
Step 4 – Results Over Time Skin rejuvenation is a progressive process. Initial improvements in hydration and texture are often noticeable within the first few weeks. The most significant changes – particularly in firmness and laxity – develop over 3 months as collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production builds. Your provider will recommend the optimal number of sessions for your goals.
Pair Skin Rejuvenation with EMFACE® for Complete Facial Renewal
EXION rebuilds your skin at the dermal level – improving texture, hydration, and firmness. But skin aging also involves the deeper facial muscles losing tone, which causes the face to gradually descend and lose its lifted appearance.
EMFACE® addresses this at the muscle level – strengthening the lifting muscles of the face using synchronized radiofrequency and HIFES® stimulation, while simultaneously stimulating collagen in the skin above
Together, EXION and EMFACE deliver rejuvenation at every layer of the face
- Muscle layer (EMFACE) – lifts and tones the structural foundation
- Dermis (EXION) – rebuilds collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid
- Result – firmer, lifted, smoother, more hydrated skin from the inside out
- Ask your provider about a combined EXION + EMFACE treatment plan at your consultation.
