Fine lines and wrinkles are the most common and visible signs of aging, telling a story of every smile, laugh, and moment spent in the sun. While they are a natural part of life, many of us wish to soften their appearance and maintain a more youthful, refreshed look. At Revive MD in Fall River, MA, we offer sophisticated and effective solutions to help you manage these concerns. Under the expert medical direction of Dr. Swetha Nataraj and Dr. Kishore Lakshman, our practice provides the latest non-invasive technologies to rejuvenate your skin. We are dedicated to helping clients from Fall River, Swansea, Somerset, and throughout Bristol County look as young as they feel with our cutting-edge Exion Treatments.
Wrinkles fall into two main categories: dynamic and static. Dynamic wrinkles are formed by repetitive muscle movements, such as frowning, squinting, or smiling. When we are young, our skin springs back easily, but over time, these lines can become etched into the skin and remain visible even when our face is at rest. These are then known as static wrinkles.
Static wrinkles are caused by the natural aging process and environmental factors. The primary culprit is the loss of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid–the essential building blocks that give our skin its structure, elasticity, and hydration. As their production slows down, the skin becomes thinner, drier, and less able to protect itself from damage. This leads to the formation of fine lines and deeper folds. Sun exposure is the single biggest accelerator of this process, breaking down collagen and elastin at a much faster rate. This is why wrinkles often appear first and most prominently on sun-exposed areas like the face, neck, and hands.
The signs of aging skin can appear gradually and vary in severity. Common symptoms include:
Living in a place with a rich history and vibrant culture like Fall River, we want to present our best selves to the world. But seeing new lines appear in the mirror can be disheartening. It might make you feel that your outward appearance no longer matches your inner vitality. You may find yourself scrutinizing your reflection, trying different makeup techniques to hide lines, or feeling less confident in social or professional settings. Perhaps you hesitate to smile freely for fear of deepening the lines around your eyes or mouth.
These concerns are deeply personal and very real. At Revive MD, we approach the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles with empathy and expertise. Our goal is to provide you with solutions that not only smooth your skin but also restore your confidence, allowing you to live fully and expressively without worrying about the lines you might be creating.
The anti-aging market is vast, with countless creams and serums promising to erase wrinkles. While some medical-grade topical products, like retinoids and antioxidants, can help to improve skin texture and prevent future damage, they can only do so much for existing static wrinkles. For more significant and lasting results, professional treatments are necessary.
For many years, options were limited to invasive surgical procedures like facelifts or ablative laser treatments that required significant downtime. While effective, these are not suitable or desirable for everyone. The modern era of aesthetics has brought forth incredible non-invasive technologies that can dramatically reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by targeting the problem at its source: the loss of collagen and hyaluronic acid. These energy-based treatments work to rebuild the skin's internal support structure for natural and long-lasting results.
Exion is a state-of-the-art platform that offers a multi-faceted approach to treating fine lines and wrinkles, making it a cornerstone of our anti-aging services at Revive MD.
The Exion Face treatment is a revolutionary option for overall facial rejuvenation. It is the first technology to combine monopolar radiofrequency and targeted ultrasound to stimulate the skin to produce more of its own hyaluronic acid. This natural plumping and hydrating effect helps to fill in fine lines from within. The RF energy also tightens the skin and stimulates new collagen growth, smoothing wrinkles and improving skin quality.
For deeper, more established wrinkles and textural issues, Exion RF Microneedling provides a more intensive treatment. By delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis via ultrafine needles, this procedure creates a powerful collagen-remodeling effect. It is excellent for softening stubborn lines around the mouth, on the cheeks, and on the neck, leading to dramatically smoother and firmer skin.
To achieve the most comprehensive and beautiful results, we often recommend a combination approach to facial rejuvenation. Your Exion treatments can be enhanced with:

What is the difference between Exion Face and Exion RF Microneedling for wrinkles?
Exion Face is a completely non-invasive treatment that is excellent for overall rejuvenation, improving hydration, and softening fine lines with no downtime. Exion RF Microneedling is a more intensive treatment that is better for deeper, more established wrinkles and textural issues, and it involves a few days of mild redness.
How many treatments will I need?
For both Exion Face and Exion RF Microneedling, a series of 3-4 treatments is typically recommended for the best results.
When will I see results?
You may notice some initial improvement after your first treatment, but the full results will appear over the next 2-3 months as your body produces new collagen.
Do the treatments hurt?
Exion Face is a painless, warming treatment. For Exion RF Microneedling, we use a strong topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Can these treatments replace a facelift?
Non-invasive treatments like Exion cannot provide the same dramatic results as a surgical facelift. However, they are an excellent option for those with mild to moderate laxity who are not ready for surgery or for those looking to maintain their results after surgery.
How can I prevent new wrinkles from forming?
The single most important thing you can do is wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every single day. Additionally, using a medical-grade retinoid at night will help to continuously stimulate collagen production.
