Primarily lax skin
If your concern is skin that looks less firm, Programme EXION Body treatment can focus on skin laxity. There is matching study evidence for the upper arms and abdomen. [2]
Programme
EXION
Body
Programme EXION Body is a body contouring treatment for lax skin and localised fat. It combines radiofrequency (RF) with targeted ultrasound through an external, needle-free handpiece. Begin with an assessment of whether your chosen area needs a focus on skin firmness, localised fat, or both. [1]

Where to beginAssess the area that concerns youAsoke · Bangna by advance appointment
01 / UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN
The same area can involve
lax skin, localised fat, or both.
Lax skin and subcutaneous fat can occur in the same area. Start with the change you would like to see: firmer-looking upper-arm skin, for example, or care for fat around the abdomen. Your doctor assesses the tissue and body contours together before choosing an approach.
Primarily localised fat
Where subcutaneous fat has accumulated, your doctor assesses whether a fat-focused treatment is appropriate for that area. The aim is localised fat reduction, rather than whole-body weight loss. [3]
A combination of both
Reducing fat thickness and improving lax skin are separate goals. Assessing both helps you understand which changes to follow and why different areas can need different plans. [1]
02 / START WITH AN AREA
Where would you like to focus?
Explore what to discuss during your assessment, then take your questions to the BEHAP team.
Upper-arm skin tightening
If upper-arm skin is starting to look lax, an assessment can establish how much of your concern relates to skin firmness and whether subcutaneous fat also contributes. Programme EXION Body has skin-laxity study data for this area. [2]
Clarify your goal: firmer skin, a change in upper-arm size, or both?
Ask about this areaLoose abdominal skin
or localised fat?
Be clear about whether your concern is lax skin or accumulated fat. Programme EXION Body has study data for abdominal skin laxity. A fat-focused plan needs a further assessment of the fat layer and treatment area. [2]
Clarify your concern: lax skin, the shape of your abdomen, or both?
Ask about this areaTell us the area you have in mind
For the flanks, thighs or hips, ask the team to check the treatment area and suitable plan before arranging a visit. Area size and tissue characteristics are part of the assessment.
Start with the area, your preferred branch and the change you would like to discuss.
Ask about this area03 / THE BODY APPLICATOR
What is Programme EXION Body?
How the applicator works.
Programme EXION Body uses the Body applicator on the EXION platform. It combines monopolar radiofrequency (RF) with targeted ultrasound, delivering energy externally without needles. The handpiece includes active cooling for treatment directed at subcutaneous fat. [1]

RF + TARGETED ULTRASOUND
Energy delivered through
an external handpiece.
RF heats the tissue while ultrasound delivers energy to the treatment area alongside it. Your doctor selects settings for the goal of that area, so it helps to understand whether your plan focuses on lax skin or localised fat.
Your doctor selects settings to address lax skin, after assessing the treatment area and tissue.
Active cooling helps control surface heat as energy is delivered to the subcutaneous fat layer. Its use is selected for the assessed area and goal.

04 / EVIDENCE IN CONTEXT
Programme EXION Body results.
What did the studies measure?
Skin-laxity research and fat-reduction research measure different outcomes. Each study is used here to explain the specific question it investigated.
Upper-arm and abdominal skin
The manufacturer’s summary of Kent and Muller’s ASLMS 2023 study describes 30 participants, four treatments and follow-up at one and three months. It reports improvement in skin laxity in the areas studied. [2]
Localised fat thickness
Hayre’s study in Dermatologic Surgery used RF, targeted ultrasound and active cooling. Among 23 participants who completed the required follow-up after four treatments, ultrasound-measured fat thickness decreased by an average of 22.5% at three months. [3]
The areas studied were beneath the buttocks, the back and axillary region, flanks and outer thighs. This small study had no control group. The figure is neither an upper-arm or abdominal result nor a percentage of body weight lost.
05 / YOUR VISIT
From your assessment
to your follow-up.
01
Before treatmentAgree on the change you want
Discuss the area and your goal. Your doctor assesses skin and fat together, then explains the plan, session count and cost before you decide.
02
During treatmentA handpiece moves across the skin
You will feel warmth as energy is delivered to the treatment area. Share how it feels throughout treatment so the practitioner can assess your response and adjust your care.
03
After treatmentFollow the outcome you planned for
A skin-focused plan follows changes in firmness. A fat-focused plan follows contours and area measurements as agreed. Photographs should use comparable positions and conditions.
06 / PLAN & PRICE
How much does
Programme EXION Body cost?
Ask for pricing for the area you would like to treat, including the area size, number of sessions and what the programme includes. Let the BEHAP team know your preferred branch so they can check current pricing and appointment arrangements before you decide.
The studies cited used four treatments as their research protocol. That is not a fixed package for everyone. Your own plan needs to follow an assessment. [2][3]

Before you choose Programme EXION Body
How does Programme EXION Body differ from Programme EXION HYA?
Programme EXION Body uses the applicator for body skin and localised fat. Programme EXION HYA uses the Face handpiece for facial skin quality. Both applicators combine RF and targeted ultrasound, but they are different handpieces with separate study evidence.
Does Programme EXION Body use needles?
Programme EXION Body uses an external handpiece and does not use needles. Programme EXION Fractional RF uses a separate microneedling applicator.
How can it help the upper arms and abdomen?
The Body applicator has study data for skin laxity in the upper arms and abdomen. If fat is also a concern, the fat layer and treatment plan need a further assessment. Fat-reduction figures from other areas should not be used as a direct prediction for these areas.
Is Programme EXION Body a weight-loss programme?
Programme EXION Body focuses on skin and localised fat. Reducing fat thickness in an area is different from losing weight overall. The cited fat-reduction study did not find a statistically significant change in body mass index (BMI).
How many treatments are needed, and when are changes assessed?
The cited Body-applicator studies used four treatments and assessed changes at one and three months after the course. Your session count, plan and follow-up should be based on your assessed area and goal.
What does treatment feel like?
The handpiece moves over your skin and produces a warming sensation. How it feels depends on the area and settings. Communicate with the practitioner throughout treatment so they can assess comfort and skin response.
