RF MICRONEEDLING

What is RF Microneedling?

Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling is a treatment that punctures and rapidly heats the underlying dermis to ~67°C (153 °F).  This particular method of microinjury produces an improvement in the tissue stroma  by enhancing skin collagen, elastin and HA production histologically.  Visually, dramatic improvement in skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and tone smoothing is routinely achieved with 1-3 treatments.  Perhaps one of the most appreciated benefits of Microneedling is scar reduction, and this is an excellent treatment for any type of scar, including acne scars.

For which skin types can RF Microneedling be used?

All skin types.

Microneedling vs RF Microneedling?

We offer both.   RF Microneedling provides more effective results (and more rapidly, too).

Face

The face is comprised of varying skin stroma types, from very thin skin under the eyes, to thicker skin in the cheeks.  We ensure that the needle depth and various energy settings are perfect for each area being treated.  We also provide several modalities to ensure complete comfort throughout the procedure.

Choose either single treatment or — for better results and cost savings — a package of three treatments.

Neck

Too often aesthetic treatments stop at the chin.  RF Microneedling, however, is a supurb treatment for extension to the neck (and décolletage) creating a more boundless & seamless enhancement.  The neck RF Microneedling can be provided separately or as a package with face (and décolletage).

Choose either single treatment or — for better results and cost savings — a package of three treatments.

Décolletage

The décolletage is particularly prone sun exposure and damage, resulting in thin skin with poor elastin.  RF Microneedling treatments can markedly enhance the skin in these areas providing thicker skin with improved qualities.

Face & Neck

Using highly effective comfort measures including topical numbing, ultra-chilled air, and Pro-Nox, this treatment extends the RF microneedling treatment to the neck, an area often fraught with crepey skin.  This treatment has demonstrated profound improvements in neck skin laxity.

Neck & Décolletage

Using highly effective comfort measures including topical numbing, ultra-chilled air, and Pro-Nox, this treatment is directed to the neck & décolletage, areas fraught with crepey skin.  This treatment has demonstrated profound improvements in skin laxity.

Choose either single treatment or — for better results and cost savings — a package of three treatments.

Face, Neck & Décolletage

Using highly effective comfort measures, this treatment extends the RF microneedling treatment to the décolletage, an area often fraught thin sun damaged skin with vertical rhytids.  This treatment has demonstrated profound improvements in collagen enhancement and reduction of rhytids.

Abdomen

Abdomen: RF Microneedling can improve sagging abdominal skin and is an optimal modality for improving scars from surgical wounds.

Choose either single treatment or — for better results and cost savings — a package of three treatments.

Extremities

Arms & Lower Thighs: RF Microneedling reduces the sagging skin often experienced in the arms and above the knees.  RF Microneedling is safe for all skin types.

Choose either single treatment or — for better results and cost savings — a package of three treatments.

RF Microneedling with PRP

The ultimate anti-aging skin treatment. It adds microneedling of PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma). A guest’s blood is drawn and spun to collect the PRP, also known as “Liquid Gold,” (for those in the know, the stuff of vampires!) which is rich in collagen-stimulating growth factors. PRP injected into the dermis creates a beautiful skin glow.

FAQ

What is RF Microneedling?

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a skin rejuvenation technology that exploits micro-injuries & radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production; the natural healing response enhances collagen & elastin production – which improves the texture, tone, and tension of the skin.  RF microneedling also dramatically improves scars, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and can slim areas with increased adipose. 

Although the technology requires natural processes you can expect to see significant improvements in your skin within 1-2 weeks. You will have a smoother, brighter, and firmer complexion. Results of RF microneedling can last years – and scar reduction is often a permanent benefit.  Photodamage and skin aging will benefit from repeated treatments and optimal skincare.

What is the difference between microneedling and RF Microneedling?

Microneedling can reduce scars and induce collagen & elastin production.  RF Microneedling does it more effectively and with faster results.  Also, the professional RF Microneedling devices penetrate the skin more deeply with much thinner, disposable needles that have a single use, and have a range of settings to direct optimal therapy to each area of treatment.

How soon will I see the results?

You will probably see improvements in two weeks, but since the treatment is based on skin healing and production of collagen you will likely continue to see improvements for 4-6 weeks. 

How many treatments will I need?

3-4 treatments at approximately one month intervals provides optimal results

How long does RF Microneedling results last?

Unlike Neurotoxins, Fillers, PDO threads, etc. the benefits of microneedling can last for years, and scar reduction is typically a permanent improvement. 

Results for a single treatment typically last a year or more. Three treatments at 8-12 week intervals can provide additive improvement and greater longevity of results.

Once yearly treatment after an initial series can provide excellent long term results.

Is there downtown after receiving RF Microneedling?

Some people experience very little downtime with RF microneedling, however, others with more sensitive skin may see blotchy erythema or crusting at the needle sites for up to a week.

Typically, you will have redness and small puncture wounds which should not bleed; this resolves very rapidly.  For several days you should avoid putting foreign products on the affected area (i.e. makeups).  Lighter skin might show redness for several days, like a mild sunburn.

How does RF Microneedling work?

This treatment uses microneedles to create controlled microinjuries in your skin, this provokes a healing response to the wounds. Microneedling with radiofrequency helps stimulate the collagen repair-response creating a firmer, and smoother complexion.

Are all RF Microneedling devices the same?

No.  Optimally, the device should be able to accommodate an insulated and/or non-insulated needle type, a relatively wide range of energy and needle depths, and even allow for optimized timing (in milliseconds) for delivery of the energy.  Some of the most popular (and expensive) devices on the market do not provide for all of these attributes; our devices do!
