WHAT IS RF MICRONEEDLING?

RF microneedling, also known as radiofrequency microneedling, is a cosmetic procedure that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. Microneedling involves using a device with tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, promoting collagen and elastin production and improving skin texture and tone.

In RF microneedling, in addition to the micro-injuries created by the needles, the device emits radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin. This energy generates heat, which helps further stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin.

KEY ASPECTS OF RF MICRONEEDLING:
  1. Procedure: The treatment typically involves applying a numbing cream to the skin to minimize discomfort. The RF microneedling device is then passed over the targeted area, creating micro-injuries and delivering radiofrequency energy simultaneously.
  2. Collagen Stimulation: The combination of microneedling and RF energy stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins that support the skin’s structure and elasticity.
  3. Skin Tightening: The heat from the radiofrequency energy tightens the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging.
  4. Scar Reduction: RF microneedling can also be used to improve the appearance of scars, including acne scars and surgical scars, by promoting collagen remodeling.
  5. Results and Downtime: Results may vary, but many individuals experience improved skin texture and tone within a few weeks of treatment. Mild redness and swelling are common after the procedure, but downtime is usually minimal.
  6. Number of Sessions: The number of recommended sessions varies based on individual needs and goals, but multiple treatments are often needed to achieve optimal results.

To ensure your RF Microneedling treatment is as safe and effective as possible, please refrain from the following for one to two weeks prior to your appointment:

  • Applying self-tanning lotion
  • Retinol/Retinoids
  • Chemical Peels
  • Using a tanning bed
  • Taking certain NSAIDs, such as Advil, Aleve, and more
