Micro Needling RF

What is radiofrequency microneedling , Microneedling RF ?

Microneedling uses a fine needle to create microwounds, or channels, in the skin. This triggers the production of capillaries, elastin, and collagen. It’s also called skin needling or collagen induction therapy.

If the procedure also uses radiofrequency waves, it’s called radiofrequency microneedling. The needle releases radiofrequency into the channels, causing additional damage. This enhances the effects of standard microneedling.

What is it microneedling RF used for?

  • to firm and tighten the skin of the face, neck and chest

  • to decrease diffuse wrinkling common on the décolletage

  • to minimize the appearance of pores

  • to reduce excess oil production

  • to minimize the appearance of acne scars

  • to treat sun damage

  • to improve skin tone and skin texture

  • to reduce fine lines and wrinkles

  • to reduce the appearance of stretch marks

  • to restore a youthful glow

Who’s an ideal candidate for radiofrequency microneedling?

Radiofrequency microneedling is considered safe, but it isn’t appropriate for everyone.

You may be an ideal candidate if you:

  • are in good health

  • have early signs of aging

  • have realistic expectations

Alternatively, you should avoid the treatment if you:

  • currently or recently used Accutane

  • have an active cold sore breakout

  • have a skin infection

  • have a moderate to severe skin disease (like psoriasis)

  • are receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy

  • are pregnant

  • are taking anticoagulants

  • have a history of keloids, hypertrophic scarring, or poor wound healing

During the Microneedling RF

  1. They apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area about 30 minutes before the procedure.

  2. The microneedling device makes tiny wounds in the skin. Simultaneously, the tip of the needle releases radiofrequency waves into the wounds.

  3. The procedure takes 20 to 30 minutes. The exact duration depends on what you’re treating.

  4. A healthcare provider applies a growth solution to support cell regeneration. They finish with a soothing solution to minimize any discomfort.

When to expect results?

You’ll see results after 30 days  The exact time frame depends on the type and severity of your condition.

In most cases, you’ll need at least four sessions. This also depends on what you’re treating. For example, if you have moderate acne scars, you’ll need about three or four treatments. Bigger scars might need five treatments.

These sessions will be done every 3 to 8 weeks. This lets your skin heal between treatments.

After the initial set of treatments, the results will last about 1 year, and for the treatment of acne scars, the results are permanent. It’s recommended to have a touch-up session once a year to maintain your desired results.

Recovery & Results

Initially, treated skin may feel warm, similar to a slight sunburn. Mild redness and swelling are common for approximately 2 to 3 days, and improvements develop gradually over the following 3 to 6 months. Medical skincare products, including serum growth factors, may be used to maintain and improve your RF microneedling treatment results.
