One of the most significant and often overlooked signs of aging is the loss of facial volume. As we get older, our face naturally loses some of its youthful fullness, which can lead to a hollowed, tired, or sagging appearance. At Revive MD in Fall River, MA, we understand that restoring this lost volume is key to achieving a truly rejuvenated and natural-looking result. Under the expert medical leadership of Dr. Swetha Nataraj and Dr. Kishore Lakshman, our practice offers a revolutionary approach to combatting volume loss. We are proud to provide clients from Fall River, Westport, Tiverton, and throughout the South Coast with the most advanced non-invasive technologies, including our groundbreaking Exion Treatments.
Youthful faces are characterized by full, rounded contours, often described as the "triangle of youth," with the base at the cheeks and the point at the chin. As we age, this triangle inverts. This is due to a combination of factors that lead to a loss of volume throughout the face:
Together, these changes lead to a flatter mid-face, hollows under the eyes, more prominent nasolabial folds, and the formation of jowls.
The signs of facial volume loss can subtly change your appearance over time. You may notice:
Seeing your facial contours change can be unsettling. You might look in the mirror and feel that the person looking back appears tired, sad, or older than you feel inside. This can affect your self-esteem and how you present yourself to the world. You may find yourself trying to use makeup to create the illusion of higher cheekbones or a more defined jawline. You might feel less confident in photos, noticing shadows and hollows that weren't there before. This can be especially true when you want to look your best while enjoying the vibrant social scene in Fall River or attending an event at the Narrows Center for the Arts.
At Revive MD, we believe that aesthetic treatments should help you look like the best version of yourself–refreshed, revitalized, and natural. We offer solutions that restore youthful volume in a way that honors your unique facial structure, helping you regain a look that is both youthful and authentic.
For many years, the primary solution for significant volume loss was surgical, such as a facelift combined with fat grafting. While effective, surgery is not the right choice for everyone. The most common non-surgical approach to restoring volume is the use of dermal fillers. These injectable gels, typically made of hyaluronic acid, are used to directly fill in hollows and lift sagging tissues. Fillers provide immediate and beautiful results and are a cornerstone of non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
However, there is now a new and exciting frontier in volume restoration: treatments that stimulate your body to replenish its own natural volume. This approach offers a more holistic and regenerative way to combat the signs of aging, working with your body to create a truly natural and long-lasting result.
Exion has revolutionized the way we can address facial volume loss non-invasively. The Exion Face treatment is the first and only technology of its kind, and it is our premier choice for natural volume enhancement at Revive MD. This groundbreaking treatment uses a patented combination of monopolar radiofrequency and targeted ultrasound to achieve what was previously thought impossible without needles.
The Exion Face applicator stimulates the fibroblasts in your skin to naturally increase their production of hyaluronic acid. Clinical studies have shown an impressive increase in HA production. This is not injected HA; this is your body making more of its own natural plumping and hydrating substance. The result is a gradual, natural increase in facial volume, improved skin hydration, and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines. At the same time, the RF energy is stimulating new collagen and elastin, which tightens the skin and provides a subtle lift, further combating the sagging associated with volume loss.
For the most comprehensive and transformative results, we often recommend a combination approach. The natural volume-boosting effects of Exion Face can be beautifully complemented by:
Restoring facial volume requires a provider with a sophisticated understanding of facial anatomy and an artistic eye. At Revive MD, Dr. Swetha Nataraj and Dr. Kishore Lakshman are expert physicians who specialize in creating balanced, natural-looking results. We take a "less is more" approach, focusing on holistic rejuvenation rather than just treating individual lines or hollows. Our investment in revolutionary technology like Exion demonstrates our commitment to providing our patients with the most advanced and effective treatments available. We are dedicated to helping you achieve your aesthetic goals in a safe, professional, and welcoming environment.

How does Exion Face increase volume without injections?
Exion Face uses a unique combination of radiofrequency and targeted ultrasound. The mechanical energy from the ultrasound stimulates the skin's cells (fibroblasts) to naturally produce more of their own hyaluronic acid, which plumps and hydrates the skin from within.
Is Exion Face a replacement for fillers?
It can be. For patients who want a completely natural approach and are looking for a gradual, overall improvement in volume and skin quality, Exion Face can be a great alternative to fillers. For others, it can be a complementary treatment that enhances the results of fillers and may reduce the amount of filler needed over time.
How many treatments are needed?
A series of 4 weekly treatments is typically recommended for the best results.
Is the treatment painful?
No, the Exion Face treatment is completely painless and is often described as feeling like a relaxing hot stone massage.
When will I see results?
You may notice an immediate plumping effect due to the increased hydration, but the most significant results from new hyaluronic acid and collagen production will develop over the 2-3 months following your treatment series.
How long do the results last?
The results are long-lasting, as the treatment stimulates your body's own natural processes. We recommend a maintenance treatment every 6-12 months to continue to support your skin's health and combat the ongoing aging process.
