5 Important Things You Should Know About Microneedling with Radiofrequency

Microneedling combined with RF-energy is a new non surgical skin rejuvenation procedure being used around the world to help people tighten, lift and plump skin, reduce wrinkles, shrink pores and get rid of acne scars and other blemishes on your face and other parts of the body. It is a non-invasive procedure, causes minimal discomfort and virtually no downtime to the patient.The fractional RF technology treats the target area through the rapid penetration of insulated micro-needles without causing extensive damage to the surface of your skin - the epidermis. These microneedles then release laser energy below the skin surface. After the procedure the skin reacts by creating new collagen and skin tissue.

RF Microneedling is a game changer for skin rejuvenation - Big impact with little to no downtime!

But before you decide to opt for RF Microneedling to combat your own skin problems, here are five things you must know –

1) HOW DOES RF MICRONEEDLING WORK?

Microneedling with RF works by causing deep stimulation into the skin inducing production of more collagen.Through the action of the micro-needles, tiny columns are created which facilitates healing and brings collagen stimulation.Depending on the patient’s skin laxity and issues, our laser specialist will select an appropriate depth of microneedle penetration. Microneedle depths can vary from .5mm to 3.5 mm deep. In turn, the skin naturally responds by making new collagen-rich tissue. Generation of new collagen-rich tissue tightens skin, reduces scars, wrinkles, stretch marks and fine lines in the skin thus improving the overall texture and appearance of your skin.

If you suffer from acne, the led or “blue – light” treatment can accompany the RF Microneedling procedure to help target the acne causing bacteria in the skin. This helps to improve the skin immunity against acne and acne scars.

2) WHAT PROBLEMS MAY BE TREATED WITH MICRONEEDLING?

RF Microneedling is most commonly used to combat problems in the facial skin but other areas of the body can be treated to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars. At Cosmetic Laser Solutions MedSpa, we can address a variety of issues with RF Microneedling –

3) RISKS OF RF MICRONEEDLING

As RF Microneedling is considered a non-invasive procedure, the risk and downtime involved are minimal. Not just that, even the discomfort involved in RF Microneedling is next to non-existent. One of the most common side-effect felt by most patients is a little skin irritation and redness of the skin. However, typical discomfort of the skin generally last 2-24 hours post the procedure. If you experience any of the below post the procedure, you must consult your doctor –

• Bleeding
  
• Bruising
  
• Infection
  
• Peeling of skin
  

Also, if any of the below mentioned conditions apply to you, you would not be a candidate for RF Microneedling –

• Pregnancy/lactation
  
• Auto immune disease
  
• Metal Implants
• Defibrillator
• Pacemaker
• Cancer
• Skin disease

4) WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE PROCEDURE IS OVER?

As mentioned above, recovery and downtime in a RF Microneedling procedure is minimal. Most patients are able to resume their daily lives immediately after treatment is complete. However, it is natural to experience some redness and irritation in the treated area for a few hours to the next day.

5} When will I see results?

Usually, a RF Microneedling procedure shows results as soon as a few days but further results develop as your body begins to produce collagen. The tightening effect and final results are going to appear gradually over six months – which is the time taken by the skin to fully rebuild. To get a full face restoration and rebuilding effect a we suggest a customized treatment plan with 3 RF Microneedling sessions. Other complementing treatments like the fabulous Salt Facial with LED lights or removing other blemishes like spider veins, rosacea or dark brown spots is possible.

Not all RF Microneedling devices are created equal. We have chosen the Scarlet Rf Microneedling device because of its proven clinical results.Developed by the research of Dr Na, the Na Effect with the Scarlet SRF system is the first RF technology that uses the phenomenon of independent tissue coagulation around each micro-needle electrode with short pulses of alternating bipolar signal energy. Vivace, Infini, Fractora and other RF Microneedling devices do not have this technology or power.
