RF Microneedling

WHAT IS RF MICRONEEDLING AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

RF microneedling merges traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to rejuvenate skin. Fine needles create micro-injuries, stimulating healing, while radiofrequency promotes collagen production and tightens tissue. This dual action improves the look of scars such as acne scares, texture, reduces fine lines, and enhances firmness, resulting in a smoother, youthful complexion with minimal downtime.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR APPOINTMENT:

RF Microneedling Appointment Process: A Simple Overview

  1. Expert Assessment: An assessment of your skincare goals and any concerns you may have.

  2. Preparation: A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

  3. Treatment: a handheld device equipped with fine needles will create micro-injuries in the skin while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy. This dual action promotes collagen production and enhances skin texture.

  4. Post-Treatment: While you may experience mild redness and sensitivity similar to a sunburn post-treatment, these effects usually subside within hours to a few days. Our dedicated team will provide aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results and guide you through the healing process.

  5. Follow Up: While some improvements may appear after one session, a series of treatments is recommended. Regular appointments, spaced weeks apart, support ongoing skin regeneration.

Frequently asked questions about RF Mirconeedling:

  • RF microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that merges traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy. It uses ultra-fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, promoting healing and collagen production. The added radiofrequency delivers heat to deeper skin layers, tightening and rejuvenating from within. It's much more effective than traditional microneedling for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and improving skin texture.

  • It begins with a consultation to evaluate skin concerns and establish treatment goals. A topical anesthetic ensures comfort while micro-injuries are created, delivering RF energy deep into the dermis to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. The treatment lasts for about an hour.

  • Patients often see noticeable results within weeks post-procedure, with smoother skin and a more radiant complexion. Optimal results typically appear after three to six months and depend on individual skin conditions and treatment goals. Consistent follow-ups and proper skincare can enhance and maintain these results.

  • RF microneedling results last 6 to 12 months, varying by skin type, age, and skincare routine. Many patients see continued improvement as collagen production rises. Periodic maintenance sessions are recommended for optimal results. Consulting a qualified practitioner can help establish the best maintenance plan.

  • While sensations vary, most report mild discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimize pain. Overall, RF microneedling is tolerable, providing significant benefits with manageable discomfort for most.

  • Common effects are mild redness and skin irritation at the treatment site, resolving anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Some may experience temporary discomfort or sensitivity. Rarely, swelling, bruising and serious side effects like infection or scarring can occur.

  • Post-treatment instructions for RF microneedling are vital for optimal results. Keep the area clean and avoid makeup for 24 hours. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen for protection against UV rays. Avoid intense activities, saunas, and hot tubs for a few days to reduce irritation. Stay hydrated and follow any specific practitioner guidelines to aid healing. Proper aftercare enhances the success of your RF microneedling experience.
