RF Microneedling
RF Microneedling is a minimally invasive dermatologic procedure carried out using tiny needles and radiofrequency waves to rejuvenate facial skin and correct multiple skin problems. It is similar to the traditional microneedling process but offers the additional advantage of radiofrequency waves that tighten collagen strands and enhance collagen production, resulting in smoother, firmer skin. A uniform warming effect to the deep tissue is offered through this procedure that stimulates the growth of the new collagen fibers that significantly improve the quality and texture of the skin. This nearly painless procedure if performed aptly has minimal risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or scarring.
Benefits of Radiofrequency Microneedling
Radiofrequency Microneedling is a powerful cosmetic procedure that can safely transform the skin. It is an FDA-approved cosmetic treatment in which microscopic needles emit radio frequencies that penetrate the skin's deeper layers triggering a natural healing process. This treatment perfects the skin and treats stubborn skin problems. Some key benefits of this treatment include:
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles - RF Microneedling significantly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This anti-aging treatment forces the affected area to produce more collagen through RF microneedling and reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Shrink Pores – RF Microneedling is an effective and safe treatment for reducing larger pores, which is a hallmark sign of aging. This process shrinks the pores by targeting the skin to respond with increased collagen and elastin production.
Tighten Skin – This minimally invasive treatment is carried out to tighten skin by boosting the production of elastin.
Improve Skin Volume, Texture, and Tone – This treatment improves skin volume, texture, and tone. It improves skin tone by eliminating damaged or dead skin cells that cause hyperpigmentation. It increases elastin and collagen production to smooth textural irregularities, acne, and scars. Increasing collagen production helps the body produce more natural filler that improves skin volume.
