RF Microneedling
You may know what microneedling is, even if you’ve never tried it, but you may be wonder what RF microneedling is. This treatment combines all of the benefits of radiofrequency and collagen induction therapy into one treatment to help improve the skin and deliver some amazing results. Both microneedling and radiofrequency energy stimulate collagen production below the skin’s surface, but they do it in different ways. So when you combine them, the results get even better.
Why Is It So Effective?
Radiofrequency energy is so effective when used during skin care treatments because it stimulates collagen production deep within the skin. Collagen is essential for youthful, firm skin, but the body decreases its production with the aging process. This form of heat energy increases collagen and elastin production to lift, plump, and tighten the skin.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses tiny, hair-thin, sterile needles to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, which cause the body to respond by healing the area with the help of increased collagen production.
What Does It Treat?
RF microneedling can deliver all of the same benefits of microneedling, and then some. It will improve overall skin health, slow and even reverse the signs of aging, create a brighter, more even complexion, and target and treat some of your most stubborn skin concerns. It is most often used to address concerns on the face but can also improve areas of the body, including the hands, abdomen, back, legs, décolleté, arms, and neck. Specifically, it can:
- Improve skin tone and texture
- Help reduce the appearance of a double chin
- Improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Increase collagen and elastin production
- Lift the jowls
- Reduce pore size
- Tighten the skin
- Treat acne scars
- Improve sun damage
- Smooth areas with rough patches
- Help reduce stretch marks
- Improve hyperpigmentation
How Does It Work?
This process will begin with an initial consultation at our office. We’ll learn more about your goals, your skin, and your problem areas during the consultation. We’ll also be able to analyze those problem areas in person to determine if RF microneedling will help you reach your skin goals. Then, we’ll schedule your treatment.
During the treatment, your technician will begin by cleansing your face to rid it of any oil, dirt, or debris. You may be asked to wear a protective eye covering during the treatment. Then, your technician will apply a topical numbing gel as needed to help ensure that the treatment is comfortable and painless.
Once your skin is numb, the RF microneedling process will begin. Next, the technician will move the device back and forth across your face or other treatment areas, zoning in on your specific problem areas. The entire process can take 30 minutes.
How Many Treatments Are Necessary?
Most patients benefit from just one treatment, but the best results typically come from a treatment plan that includes anywhere from two to four treatments spaced out with a few weeks between each.
When you come in for your initial consultation, we will analyze your skin to determine the best plan of action to help you reach your skin goals as soon as possible. Each patient is different and has different needs and concerns, and we take that into account when we create a customized treatment plan that’s right for you.
Can I Do It at Home?
There are many products available for at-home use that promise to deliver the same results as an in-office treatment, but the truth is, they cannot. The only effective form of RF microneedling is that which is performed in an office setting. When you schedule your treatment, you can rest assured that you’ll be treated by a professional and will get some amazing results.
How Long Does It Take To See Results?
Once you undergo the necessary number of treatments to target and treat your skin, you can expect to see results. Results will vary based on your skin condition at the time of treatment, but generally, you can expect do you see an improvement in your skin within a few weeks of treatment.
Those improvements will continue to develop over the course of six months as your body increases collagen and elastin in the treatment areas to improve your skin, deliver anti-aging benefits, and resolve your problematic skin conditions.
What Are the Benefits?
One of the primary benefits of this treatment is that it is completely natural. It doesn’t involve the use of harsh chemicals or products containing ingredients that could irritate your skin. Instead, it uses a natural process to stimulate the body’s healing abilities so that you can achieve results.
