What is Microneedling?
Radio frequency microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that combines microneedling with radio frequency technology. During the procedure, a device with tiny needles is used to create micro-injuries on the skin's surface, while simultaneously emitting radio frequency energy to heat the skin's deeper layers. This heat stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
How does Microneedling Work?
The microneedling part of the treatment creates tiny punctures in the skin's surface, which triggers the skin's natural healing process. As a result, collagen production is stimulated, and the skin begins to regenerate itself. The radio frequency energy works by heating the deeper layers of the skin, which causes collagen fibers to contract and tighten. This dual action of microneedling and radio frequency energy results in tighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
Benefits of Microneedling
1. Tightens Skin and Reduces Wrinkles
Radio frequency microneedling is an excellent treatment for tightening loose or sagging skin. The combination of microneedling and radio frequency energy stimulates collagen production and improves skin elasticity, resulting in smoother, firmer skin. The treatment is particularly effective in reducing fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
2. Improves Skin Texture and Tone
Radio frequency microneedling can also improve skin texture and tone. The treatment stimulates collagen production, which helps to smooth out rough skin texture and reduce the appearance of scars and blemishes.
3. Reduces Acne Scars and Stretch Marks
Radio frequency microneedling can help reduce the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks. The treatment stimulates collagen production, which helps to fill in depressed scars and stretch marks, resulting in smoother, more even skin.
4. Minimizes Pore Size
Radio frequency microneedling can also minimize the appearance of large pores. The treatment stimulates collagen production, which helps to tighten the skin and reduce the size of pores, resulting in smoother, more even skin.
5. Provides Long-Lasting Results
Radio frequency microneedling provides long-lasting results compared to traditional microneedling treatments. The combination of microneedling and radio frequency energy stimulates collagen production, which results in tighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. The results can last for several months to a year, depending on individual skin types and conditions.
Preparing for Microneedling
Before the treatment, it is recommended to avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and topical exfoliants for at least one week. It is also advisable to stop using any topical acne medications or retinoids for a few days before the treatment. Patients should inform their skincare professional about any medications, allergies, or medical conditions before the treatment.
The Procedure
The radio frequency microneedling treatment is performed by a licensed skincare professional. Before the treatment, the skincare professional will clean the treatment area and apply a topical numbing cream to reduce discomfort. During the treatment, a device with tiny needles will be used to create micro-injuries on the skin's surface, while simultaneously emitting radio frequency energy to heat the skin's deeper layers. The treatment takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Aftercare & Recovery
After the treatment, patients may experience mild redness, swelling, and discomfort, which usually subsides within a few days. It is important to avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and hot showers for at least 24 hours after the treatment. Patients should also avoid using any topical acne medications or retinoids for a few days after the treatment.
Are there any Side Effects?
Radio frequency microneedling is a safe and effective treatment with minimal side effects. However, patients may experience mild redness, swelling, and discomfort, which usually subsides within a few days. In rare cases, patients may experience skin infections or scarring.
