What Are the Available RF MicroNeedle Treatments?

Gold-tipped needles create micro-channels in the skin then deliver a radio frequency signal. This stimulates collagen and elastin in the skin, shrinking pores, lightening spots, and generating supple skin.

What Are the Benefits of the RF Microneedle Treatment?

Radio Frequency Microneedling is the latest advancement in skin rejuvenation technologies. Commanding the power of microneedles and radio frequency heat, it beautifully improves skin laxity, reduces facial wrinkles and fine lines, addresses acne scarring and blemishes, and improves skin texture and firmness. This revitalizing technique is popular and in high demand internationally because of its proven clinical results with no downtime.

How Does It Work?

RF MicroNeedle uses ultrafine gold insulated needles to access the dermis of the skin and stimulate the natural production of collagen. Radio frequency heat energy is delivered with energy and depth precision promoting the remodeling of collagen and elastin that tightens and lifts the skin.

Who is a Good Candidate?

RF Microneedling is safe for all skin types (I-VI), tones and textures. This procedure has minimal risk for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and is ideal for those that are looking to reduce fine lines and spots and improve skin laxity.

What Can I Expect?

Our practitioners begin with a thorough cleanse of the face, followed by a topical numbing gel. During treatment, you will experience a light tapping and warm sensation as the microneedles create microchannels on your skin, releasing laser energy below the skin surface. You may experience some redness and skin sensitivity or tightness following the procedure, which typically resolves within 2-3 days depending on the extent of treatment.

Improvements in skin texture can be seen in 4-5 days with continued improvement for 2-weeks after each treatment. 4 consecutive treatments with quarterly maintenance produce the best results.
