Radio frequency Microneedling
Radio frequency microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that combines traditional microneedling with radio frequency energy.
Radio frequency Microneedling Information
This treatment stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture, firmness, and tone.
The radio frequency energy is delivered through tiny needles that penetrate the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries.
This stimulates the body’s natural healing response and promotes the production of new collagen fibers.
During the procedure, a handheld device with small needles is used to create precise microchannels in the skin.
Combined with appropriate medical grade serums to target the specific skin concern
The radio frequency energy is then delivered through these needles, heating the deeper layers of the skin.
Radio frequency microneedling offers several benefits for the skin. Here are some of the key advantages:
Collagen stimulation:
Radio frequency microneedling stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that provides structure and strength to the skin. Increased collagen production can help improve skin texture, firmness, and elasticity, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Skin tightening:
The heat generated by the radio frequency energy promotes skin tightening by stimulating the contraction of collagen fibers. This can help improve the appearance of sagging skin, giving a more youthful and lifted appearance.
Scar reduction:
Radio frequency microneedling can help reduce the appearance of scars, including acne scars and surgical scars. The controlled micro-injuries and heat energy stimulate collagen remodeling, leading to smoother and more even skin texture.
Improved skin tone and texture:
The combination of microneedling and radio frequency energy can help improve overall skin tone and texture. It can address issues such as rough skin, uneven pigmentation, and enlarged pores, giving the skin a smoother and more refined appearance.
Minimal downtime:
Radio frequency microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that typically requires little down time.
While some redness and mild swelling may occur immediately after the treatment, these effects usually subside within a few hours to a few days.
Suitable for various skin types:
Radio frequency microneedling is safe and effective for different skin types and tones. It can be customized to address specific skin concerns and can be performed on the face, neck, décolletage, and other body areas.
It’s important to note that individual results may vary, and multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results.
