Regenerative aesthetics
Smooth, tighter skin that still looks like you
Skin has been changing faster than you expected. The jawline you used to see is softer now, fine lines hold onto makeup, and loose skin under the chin shows in every photo. You looked up “skin tightening near me” because topical products are not keeping up anymore.
- Face and jawline
- Eyes and brows
- Neck and under the chin
- Abdomen and flanks
At Lesh Lifestyle in Sarasota, Exion helps tighten and smooth skin by rebuilding collagen from the inside. No surgery. No injectables. Just focused radiofrequency and microneedling, guided by a physician who looks at the whole picture.
Dr. Sarah Secor-Jones, DO, FACEP uses Exion as part of a broader plan to address why your skin changed in the first place.
Why skin starts to feel loose
You are not imagining the shift. Skin that felt firm a few years ago can suddenly look crepey or slack, especially around the eyes, mouth, neck and knees.
With time, your body makes less collagen and elastin. Sun, stress, hormones and weight changes speed that up. The deeper support layers thin, so skin has more “give” and less snap back.
Topical creams help the surface. They do not reach the structures underneath that are actually weakening.
How Exion helps tighten and renew your skin
Exion combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to target those deeper layers. The tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries at a precise depth. At the same time, radiofrequency gently heats the tissue.
That combination signals your body to repair and rebuild. Over the next several weeks, new collagen and elastin form in the treated area. Skin becomes firmer, smoother and more even, because its foundation is stronger.
Dr. Sarah often recommends Exion when someone wants visible tightening and texture improvement but is not interested in surgery or traditional filler. It fits well if you want your face or body to look rested and firm, without looking “done.”
When you will see results and how long they last
You may notice your skin feels a bit tighter or smoother within the first few weeks. The deeper changes continue to build as your body lays down new collagen in the treated area.
Results last differently for every person, depending on age, lifestyle, sun exposure and internal factors like hormones. Many patients decide to schedule periodic Exion sessions as part of their ongoing skin health plan.
Dr. Sarah will talk through what to expect for your specific situation during your visit.
Regenerative aesthetics
Areas Exion can treat
Face and jawline
Softness along the jaw, deeper smile lines and fine lines around the mouth are common reasons people search for skin tightening near me. Exion can help refine the jawline, soften folds and improve overall firmness so the lower face looks more lifted.
The Lesh Lifestyle experience
What Exion feels like at Lesh Lifestyle
You are not a number on a device here. Every Exion session is one-on-one and unhurried, and shaped around what your skin can handle that day. You arrive at our Sarasota office and check in with a short form. The treatment room is quiet and private. Dr. Sarah will review your plan again before anything begins. A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area, then you can sit back while it takes effect. Most people describe the treatment itself as a series of quick pinches and warmth across the skin. You might feel pressure in some spots, especially where skin is thinner, but it is brief. After the session, your skin will look pink and feel warm, like a light sunburn. That feeling usually fades over a few hours. Most patients go back to work, errands or school pick-up right after. No sedation. No surgical recovery.
The process
Your Exion skin tightening process
- Every Exion plan starts with a discovery call with Dr. Sarah Secor-Jones, DO, FACEP. She listens to what you are noticing in your skin, asks about your health history, hormones, weight changes and current routines, then explains whether Exion fits or if something else would serve you better. There is no pressure to book treatment on that call. The goal is a clear plan.
- At your first visit, Dr. Sarah examines your skin in natural and treatment lighting. She looks at how your face moves, where skin folds, and how thick or thin the tissue feels in different areas. If Exion is right for you, she maps out the areas to treat, outlines how many sessions may be helpful, and explains how it will coordinate with any other care you are receiving at Lesh Lifestyle, such as hormone therapy or body optimization.
- On treatment day, Charles cleans the skin and applies topical numbing. You can relax, use your phone, or simply rest while it takes effect. They review what you will feel, how long it will take and what you can do later that day. Photos may be taken before you start, so you have a clear comparison point as results build.
- During the session, Charles moves the Exion handpiece across the treatment area in small sections. You will feel tapping or light pressure from the microneedles and warmth from the radiofrequency. He adjusts settings based on your feedback and the response of your skin. Session length varies with the size and number of areas treated. This is explained before you start so you know how to plan your time.
- Right after Exion, your skin will be pink and may feel a bit tight or warm. A soothing serum or cream is applied. You receive clear instructions on what to avoid for the next day or two, like heavy makeup, intense workouts or direct sun. Dr. Sarah prefers simple, consistent aftercare rather than a long list of products. You will leave knowing exactly what to do.
- Collagen remodelling is gradual. Dr. Sarah checks in after your series of treatments to review photos, see how your skin feels, and adjust your long-term plan. If hormone shifts, weight changes or stress are still affecting your skin, she may suggest blood work or other Lesh Lifestyle services so you are not fighting against your own biology.

FAQ
Common questions about Exion skin tightening
Exion is a skin tightening treatment that combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to stimulate collagen and elastin. It helps firm and smooth areas where skin has started to look loose or crepey. At Lesh Lifestyle in Sarasota, Dr. Sarah uses Exion on both the face and body.
Exion is used to improve skin laxity, fine lines and uneven texture on the face, neck and body. It is often chosen for the jawline, under the chin, around the eyes, the abdomen and areas like the thighs or knees. It is a good option if you want firmer skin without surgery.
Exion works by delivering radiofrequency heat through tiny microneedles into the deeper layers of your skin. That controlled heat and micro-injury signal your body to repair and rebuild collagen. Over time, this new collagen makes skin firmer, smoother and more supported.
Exion can produce visible tightening and texture improvement for the right candidate. Dr. Sarah reviews your skin, health history and goals during a discovery call and in-person exam to make sure Exion is appropriate. Photos before and after treatment help you see the gradual changes.
You will likely need more than one Exion session, but the exact number depends on the area treated and how your skin responds. Dr. Sarah builds your plan during your visit in Sarasota and explains what to expect from each step.
Exion stimulates your own collagen, which means results change slowly over time as your body continues to age. During your consultation at Lesh Lifestyle in Sarasota, Dr. Sarah will explain how lifestyle, sun exposure and internal health can influence how long your results feel noticeable.
Most people describe Exion as mildly uncomfortable but tolerable. At Lesh Lifestyle, Charles applies topical numbing before treatment, which reduces sensation. During the session in Sarasota, you will feel warmth and quick pinches, but these ease as each section is completed.
Downtime after Exion is usually minimal. Your skin may look pink and feel warm or tight for a few hours, similar to a light sunburn. Some mild swelling or pinpoint marks can show for a day or two. Most patients return to work or daily activities the same day with simple aftercare.
Exion is designed to be used on many skin types, but safety always starts with a careful assessment. Dr. Sarah evaluates your skin tone, history of pigmentation issues, medications and health conditions before recommending any Exion plan in Sarasota. She will tell you honestly if another option is better.
You do not have to decide that alone. During your discovery call and in-person visit, Dr. Sarah looks at your skin, listens to what bothers you most and reviews your history. She may recommend Exion, microneedling, PRF, EMSELLA or lifestyle and hormone support instead, depending on what will serve you best. When you are ready to address loose or thinning skin with a clear, medically guided plan, Lesh Lifestyle is here. Start with a discovery call and leave knowing your next step.
