RF microneedling 1

Refine poor skin texture

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a non-laser therapy that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency technology. Together, this treatment stimulates collagen production and tightens tissue to address lax skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, pigmentation, fine lines and pores. Combined with LED light therapy, RF microneedling is also beneficial for revising scars resulting from surgical procedures, injuries and acne.

RF microneedling is a comfortable and simple treatment with little downtime that delivers energy at various depths so that it can be tailored to address your individual concerns. It is the ideal therapy to refine poor skin texture, including crepiness and sun damage, and is great for hard-to-treat areas, especially on the lower face:

How does radiofrequency (RF) microneedlng work?

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling combines two popular modalities to deliver the best results in skin tightening, especially in hard-to-treat areas around the lower half of the face. It effectively smooths and firms the skin.

The radiofrequency technology delivers energy into deeper layers of the skin than traditional microneedling to treat wrinkles and acne scars at a more effective level. The heat created by the radiofrequency stimulates tightness in connective tissues.

The microneedling component of the therapy creates the slightest possible micro-wounds to promote the production of collagen, which is what gives our skin its firm elasticity.

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling heals quickly with little downtime, revealing smoother, tighter, and more refined skin. Our patients enjoy overall improvement in their skin after just one treatment, and the most improvement after three sessions.

Avoid Sun Exposure: Limit sun exposure and avoid tanning beds for a few weeks before the procedure. Sunburned or tanned skin can be more prone to complications like hyperpigmentation.

Topical Products: Discontinue the use of retinoids, glycolic acids, and other exfoliating agents at least a week before the treatment.

Hydrate Your Skin: Hydrated skin can better tolerate the procedure, and it may also aid in the healing process.

Avoid Certain Medications: Inform your practitioner about any medications or supplements you are taking. Some medications, such as blood thinners, may need to be adjusted before the treatment to minimize the risk of bruising.

Avoid Strenuous Exercise: Avoid vigorous exercise on the day of the treatment. Sweating and increased blood flow can potentially increase the risk of infection.

How long does radiofrequency (RF) microneedling take?

Will I require downtime or experience any side effects after radiofrequency (RF) microneedling?

We recommend a course of three RF microneedling treatments for optimum results. We usually recommend to have a treatment in around 12-18 months to maintain best results.
