Radiofrequency
Microneedling
WHAT IT IS
RF microneedling builds on traditional microneedling by introducing controlled RF energy through the needles, targeting deeper skin layers. This innovative step helps boost collagen and elastin production, creating smoother and firmer skin over time.
KEY BENEFITS
Versatility: RF microneedling is appropriate for a variety of skin types.
Minimal Downtime: Recovery is typically shorter compared to more invasive skin treatments.
Gradual, Lasting Effects: Results from RF microneedling may be longer-lasting than certain temporary treatments.
Supports Skin Health: This procedure may reduce the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, and mild skin laxity over time.
HOW IT WORKS
Traditional microneedling involves creating micro-injuries in the skin’s surface, promoting natural skin repair. RF microneedling enhances this process by introducing targeted RF energy into the deeper layers of skin, supporting the natural collagen and elastin building process. This can help address issues like uneven skin tone, texture, and mild sagging in a non-invasive way.
WHAT TO EXPECT
During a session:
Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic is applied for comfort.
Procedure: A microneedling device with RF energy is used, with session times varying by treatment area.
Post-Treatment: A calming, vitamin-infused moisturizer is typically applied. In some cases, a topical antibiotic may be recommended to minimize infection risk.
