What is RF Microneedling?
RF Microneedling is a non-invasive aesthetic procedure that uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The treatment also employs radiofrequency energy to enhance skin tightening and rejuvenation. The combined effects of micro-needling and radiofrequency produce a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion and improvement in acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines.
How Does RF Microneedling Work?
During the RF Microneedling procedure, tiny needles create microscopic channels in the skin. These channels trigger the body’s natural healing response, producing collagen and elastin, the building blocks of youthful, healthy skin. Adding radiofrequency energy to the treatment enhances collagen production and skin tightening effects. RF Microneedling can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands, typically taking 30-60 minutes.
What to Expect During and After RF Microneedling?
Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. Patients may experience mild redness, swelling, and peeling for a few days after the treatment but can typically resume normal activities immediately. Many people describe the sensation of micro-needling as moving sandpaper across their skin. The full benefits of RF Microneedling are typically visible after several weeks and continue to improve over time.
Who is a Good Candidate for RF Microneedling?
RF Microneedling is an effective treatment for various skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars. The procedure works well on all skin types, even those with sensitive skin. However, some individuals may need to wait before undergoing the treatment; this includes people with active infections or inflammation and pregnant women who can postpone the procedure until after giving birth.
