At Radiant Health & Hormone Therapy in Sioux Falls, our mission is to help people achieve lasting confidence, wellness, and beauty through safe, effective, and natural treatments. Many of our patients come to us with one big question: Should I choose Botox, or are there less toxic, non-invasive alternatives that deliver great results?
The answer depends on your goals, but with groundbreaking technologies like EXION and EMFACE, you now have powerful options that go beyond temporary fixes. Let’s explore how these treatments compare and why many people in Sioux Falls and the surrounding area are choosing Radiant for their care.
What Patients Are Looking to Achieve
When patients ask about Botox or its alternatives, the goals are often the same:
- Smoother, wrinkle-free skin
- Firmer facial contours and lifted features
- A more youthful, natural appearance
- Solutions for crepey or loose skin
- Long-lasting results without surgery or downtime
While Botox has been a household name for decades, it isn’t always the right solution for everyone. That’s where EXION and EMFACE come in—modern, non-toxic, non-invasive treatments designed to stimulate your body’s own collagen and muscle support systems rather than simply freezing facial movement.
How Botox Works
Botox is a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for creating dynamic wrinkles (such as crow’s feet or frown lines). By blocking nerve signals to these muscles, the overlying skin smooths out, creating a younger appearance.
Key features of Botox include:
- Fast treatment sessions
- Results within a few days
- Effective for dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles caused by muscle movement)
- Temporary outcomes lasting 3–6 months
However, Botox uses toxins and does not improve skin quality, stimulate collagen, or restore facial volume. For patients looking for more natural, longer-lasting rejuvenation, non-invasive alternatives like EXION and EMFACE offer a different approach.
How EXION & EMFACE Work
EMFACE: A Non-Surgical Facelift Alternative
EMFACE combines synchronized radiofrequency energy with high-intensity facial muscle stimulation. This unique pairing strengthens underlying facial muscles while boosting collagen and elastin production in the skin. The result? A natural lift, smoother skin, and improved facial contours—without needles or toxins.
Main benefits of EMFACE:
- Lifts and tones facial features naturally
- Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
- Stimulates collagen and elastin for firmer skin
- No injections, no toxins, and no downtime
EXION: Skin Rejuvenation From Within
EXION uses advanced monopolar radiofrequency and artificial intelligence to precisely deliver energy into the skin’s deeper layers using either a facial applicator or body applicator. This stimulates fibroblasts—the cells responsible for collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production. The result is plumper, more hydrated, and youthful-looking skin with less appearance of dimpling.
Main benefits of EXION:
- Improves skin tone, texture, and hydration
- Targets crepey or loose skin and dimpling on the face, neck, and body
- Boosts natural hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin production by up to 224%
- Gentle, non-invasive treatment with long-lasting results
Together, EXION and EMFACE address the root causes of facial aging—loss of collagen, elastin, and muscle tone—while Botox only temporarily masks wrinkles.

Why Many People Choose EXION & EMFACE
- No Needles or Toxins: Perfect for women and men who want to avoid injections or chemical-based treatments.
- Improved Skin Health: Goes beyond wrinkle reduction to improve skin texture, tone, and hydration.
