Taking care of our body is one of the most important things we can do for our health and well-being. Everyday stresses take a toll not only on our mind, but our whole body – skin included. Add this to the fact that skin is already aging naturally and slowing the production of that all-important collagen and elastin. One way to help combat these factors is with microneedling – and combining it with radio frequency makes it even more effective.
Microneedling is one of the most popular minimally invasive treatments for tackling a myriad of modern skin concerns, from sagging skin to sunspots, fine lines to facial scarring. Microneedling creates microscopic holes in your skin with a number of ultra-thin sterile needles that press into the skin to produce micro-punctures at a depth of the dermis that results in minimal discomfort. This stimulates the body’s natural healing response and initiates a higher-than-normal production of collagen and elastin, effectively tightening the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, and acne scarring. When the procedure is in progress, and the micro-holes have been made, other boosters, nutrients, and growth factors can be applied for even more revitalizing results.
Radio frequency works by heating your skin so that it accelerates production of collagen. Combining these two treatments delivers radio frequency energy deep into your skin. It’s delivered via the small needles to further enhance skin tightening, scar, and wrinkle reduction. The amount of radiofrequency energy (which converts into heat energy) can be adjusted to suit skin conditions or certain areas of the body, and the depth of its application can also be adjusted to reach more base layers of the dermis. The heat stimulates additional production of collagen and some doctors suggest it’s the only way to make the positive effects last.
Traditional microneedling delivers a positive effect over a few treatments. Adding radiofrequency energy reduces the time it takes to see results and increases the results seen. Effects of RF microneedling are produced faster, are more dramatic, and are longer-lived. Both procedures are appropriate for all skin types and skin tones, as RF microneedling is “color-blind” – by delivering heat below the skin’s superficial surface, the pigment is protected, making this procedure safer for darker skin types.
Microneedling is good for slower and more subtle rejuvenation. RF microneedling is recommended for enhancing the overall tone and texture of the skin as it better facilitates the production of collagen and elastin. It improves the look, texture, and condition of your skin by making it firmer and smoother. Punctures will close and heal within a few hours to a few days.
