What is RF Microneedling?
Microneedling is a treatment that creates micro injuries to the skin, made by very tiny needles puncturing the skin, which then stimulates the body’s own naturally occurring healing capabilities. By triggering the healing process, we create the effect of increased production of collagen and elastin. We know that one of the most noticeable factors of youthful looking skin is the smooth, elastic, glowing look that collagen aids in.
This type of treatment can also be referred to as Skin Resurfacing, or Skin Rejuvenation, because the process can improve, rejuvenate, and revitalize the appearance of the skin in the area of application.
RF Microneedling is Microneeding with the addition of Radio Frequency energy. The purpose of the additional energy is the increased depth of penetration it allows. As with traditional Microneedling, RF Microneedling is appropriate as a procedure to treat: scarring from acne or chicken pox, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, and loose skin.
Through the small needles used in Microneedling, the RF (Radio Frequency) energy is delivered to the skin. The RF energy is delivered deep into the dermal tissue, increasing the already beneficial factors of Microneedling, like skin tightening and scar reduction, as well as the trigger to the production of extra collagen and elastin. Radio Frequency energy firms and tightens the skin. When the RF energy is delivered so deeply, it is possible to create even more dramatic and faster positive results.
Because Microneedling with added Radio Frequency can allow deeper penetration, results can be even more dramatic, with the Radio Frequency energy able to travel past the end point of the needle, deeper into the tissue. The effect on scar tissue, fine lines and wrinkles, and skin in general can be more visible as the damaged tissue is further broken down with energy focussed in such a targeted manner.
RF Microneedling is very customizable for each individual client as well. Depending on your needs, RF Microneedling can be a light, easy treatment or a deeper application with even more visible change in skin appearance.
The results can often be seen immediately and the skin will continue to improve over the next several months as the collagen continues to regenerate over time. For best continued results, further treatments are recommended.
