Radio Frequency Micro-Needling
RF Micro-Needling is the most advanced, gold standard treatment available for all skin types that improves most types of acne scars, and signs of ageing skin through tightening and firming techniques. These treatments are delivered through the techniques of RadioFrequency combined with Micro-Needling for maximum results. We offer both skin treatments for the entire face and body.
What Is Radio-frequency Technology?
Radio-frequency has been used in medical and aesthetic treatments for years. The term “Radio-frequency technology” was derived based on its function of sending radio wave-like electrical frequencies to target the collagen within deep layers of the skin. When the heat of radio-frequency waves (60 degrees Celsius) is sent to the dermis under the top layers of the skin, the heat from these waves reenergizes the old collagen, causing the tightening of the tissues and revitalization of the skin.
How Does The Radio-frequency And Micro-Needling Work?
Micro-needles combined with radio-frequency, two of the newest and most successful skin rejuvenation systems, create an enhanced result in both skin value and texture. Micro-needles create minuscule perforations in the skin. When the needles have passed through the skin, the energy from the radiofrequency is released under the skin, allowing the stimulation of new collagen production. This process targets the skin’s textural irregularities while adding firmness and elasticity.
Is RF Micro-Needling Painful?
No. Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream will be applied. Most people report little or no pain. There is the possibility there might be some discomfort; this discomfort level is comparable to the mild feeling of being bitten by an insect.
Following the treatment, patients might experience some minor swelling, and the skin might be sensitive for a day or two following the procedure. However, instructions for addressing mild discomfort will be provided, and any side effects should go away quickly.
How many treatments will I need?
Generally, 2 – 4 treatments are recommended, but this will depend on the severity of the condition treated. Treatments are spaced 4 weeks apart and results can last 6 – 12 months depending on the client’s health, lifestyle, and skincare regime. RF needling can be combined with facials and or peels to enhance results. Minimal to no downtime and can be performed all year round.
