Have You Heard About Rexonage?

Have you heard about Rexonage? If you haven’t, you probably will soon. Described as the newest energy face treatment on the market, with addicted clients and busy waitlists, this treatment might be the answer to that pain-free skin boost we all want. I’ve been testing this out – eight times to be exact, across two of London’s top aesthetic clinics; Le Petit Saint, and Dr Karen Doherty.

No needles, no heat, no pain and no downtime – means no damage whatsoever to the skin (beauty is not pain!), and instead this treatment is designed to stimulate a repair response through building the skin’s infrastructure, supporting cell regeneration and at the base of it all, tackle inflammation.

Rexonage is a new technology called Quantum Molecular Resonance – mainly known as QMR. It’s a type of frequency that’s delivered into the skin, and activates stem cells that have a knock-on effect on fibroblast activity designed to help with collagen and elasticity.

The machine has two pathways. One pathway works on anti-aging and cell regeneration, getting your skin cells to perform like younger skin cells (yes please!), and the second works on dermatological skin concerns such as rosacea and pigmentation. Most people require a bit of both and they can be used together, but ultimately the aim is to stimulate stem cell production – from the inside, out.

My incredible practitioner Justyna at Le Petit Saint (who by the way, I couldn’t recommend more), described Rexonage as inputting a very healing energy into the skin, giving highly regenerative results that last between 6 to 12 months, and continue to work after you’ve finished a course of treatment months later! Which I have found, to be true.

My first session was at Dr Karen Doherty Clinic, a clinic I always love visiting as not only are the treatments top class, but the interiors are absolutely worth the visit alone. The session consisted of a lot of questions from me, trying to compare it to other treatments and get an understanding of what exactly was going on here. ‘QMR Energy’ was the general consensus, which though didn’t completely satisfy my curiosity, the results have spoken for themselves.

The treatment itself was one of the most relaxing treatments I have had. In fact, I fell asleep in nearly every session. Maybe that says more about me than the treatment, but I’d give this treatment a strong 10/10 for relaxation and comfort, and to experience it at Dr Karen Doherty is a 10/10 for aesthetic pleasure.

After cleansing we got straight into the machine work which feels very much like a warm face massage. One of the hand pieces felt very similar to a warm stone massage.

I know we have heard it before, but here I can honestly say – I had an immediate glow and plumpness after the session, and the next day the results were obvious. Skin was giving vitality. As my sessions went on, I could feel my skin tone evening out, and my skin quality becoming more bouncy and calm. This really started to make sense as an inside-out treatment, and the results did in fact improve as the days went on.

When I was made aware the treatment was also offered at Le Petit Saint in Mayfair, a clinic I love that is all about luxury and advanced tech pamper, I was very keen to experience it. The integrity and expertise experienced from my practitioner Justyna made Le Petit Saint a standout. I also fell deep asleep here on a luxurious heated treatment bed in a delicious pink room, and when I woke up, my whole body felt rejuvenated, and my skin was noticeably alive.

Justyna explained that the treatment is based around preserving skin health. She reiterated that it’s accumulative and not instant, but the results are like nothing else. The level of care and focus she brought to the session was stunning. My main take away here (apart from the glow), was understanding the importance of restoring cell rejuvenation. This is biohacking in a facial.

On the machine, there are five different hand pieces. They all deliver the QMR energy into the skin in different ways and they focus on slightly different things.

They work for skin tightening, for breaking down any kind of fibrous tissue under the skin, for stimulating and oxygenating the skin cells, and obviously addressing inflammation like rosacea etc. The hand pieces include ‘electrodes’, designed to introduce a large amount of QMR really deeply into certain areas for long-term results, and favorably, a roller, that kind of tingles when you put it on and just wakes everything up. Not everything is done in one session, so the practitioner will alternate the hand pieces to specifically work for your skin needs ( usually 2 or 3 of the hand pieces are used per session).

Justyna reiterated that if you don’t target the core issue with the skin, such as inflammation, which most people tend to have, then you go around in circles because you’re not really treating the cause and the problem, you’re often just masking it.

This rings true with so many people who have had a lot of treatments over the years, but don’t see that much change, because they haven’t treated the real concerns in the skin. ‘A lot of our patients come in with inflammation. We’re seeing that more and more patients have inflammation now. It’s the biggest driver in all the skin concerns.’

“Basically anyone and everyone with any sort of inflammation. Which to be exact, is most people.” Dr Karen Doherty shared. “Inflammation is caused by a number of factors. It can be environmental, which is a huge factor. It can be diet-related, medication or health-related, it can also be genetic.” This feels especially true as we are in the Ozempic-era that can be aging on skin, these treatments are undoubtedly more than ever in demand.

Rexonage is incredible for people who suffer with things like rosacea as it calms the inflammatory pathways that lead to long-term chronic inflammation. Long-term chronic inflammation, if not addressed, is what leads to premature aging of the skin.

Like most treatments, the more you have, the more your collagen and elastin reaps the results. Rexonage is about laying down the foundations for your skin and results are accumulative.

With the above in mind its easy to see how Rexonage is rapidly becoming both clinics most popular treatment, as it actually feels like a nice facial massage, but delivers on results.

Both Dr Karen Doherty and Le Petit Saint carry out a skin analysis first to give a reading of your skin so they can derive a bespoke plan.

When enquiring if the results are comparable with something like a Morpheus8 or Radio Frequency, I learnt that in fact Rexonage is the gentler alternative to most of these other tech-based treatments on the market. Speaking from experience; I found Morpheus8 to be a lot more invasive, and was once a huge fan of Radio Frequency in general – but after feeling that it possibly was sculpting the face a little too much(!), I decided to leave the energy based treatments alone for a while. Rexonage however is something different, as there is no chance of melting facial fat. It also won’t cause any scar tissue or trauma, which is the point of difference, and is absolutely where the skin market is heading – integral barrier support first.

Rexonage can give long-term results by changing the way your skin cells function. Other devices might show more lift and contour, but that is generally short term. Like with everything, for best results you need to continue having top ups – our skin ages every day, and as much as we fight it, we can’t change that.

Rexonage was designed to support the way your skin cells function, offering a better quality of skin – building the scaffolding. And as we know, the stronger and healthier your skin, the better you are going to age. Justyna shared that most people are seeing subtle but meaningful lifting, firming, tightening – a natural but genuine change in the skin.

After the 8 sessions I can really feel my skin has had a boost from the inside, the deeper layers. It is calm, plump and noticeably more even. I loved these sessions in every way, and would highly recommend it for those who want to invest in a long term answer to supporting their skin health and functionality.

Maintenance does require a 6 month top up after the initial 8, but if the results are doing what they are doing, and it feels so good doing it, I for one am keen to this Rexonage journey going.
