What is RF ( radio frequency) microneedling?
The use of radiofrequency for skin improvement implies using energy waves to delegate heat into the dermis. The thermal energy creates controlled trauma and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a form of collagen induction therapy done by puncturing the skin with super thin needles to create controlled trauma and trigger the natural recovery process.
How Long Will It Take to See RF Microneedling Results?
Since it takes some time for collagen to develop, the results may not be immediate. It’ll take a few weeks to start seeing results – and they’ll really be visible around months post-procedure. Most people need 3-6 sessions to see the best results. Results last approx 18 months
Is it a long procedure?
The procedure will start with cleansing and the application of a topical numbing cream (if the client requires) to ensure your comfort during the treatment. Once the numbing cream starts working the procedure begins. The procedure is done with a handheld device, covered with tiny needles that are then stamped over the skin. Simultaneously, radiofrequency energy passes through the needles, delivering heat deep into the skin. This is what stimulates the tissue to create more collagen. Our clinician will then make multiple passes, stamping each area with the appropriate strength of radiofrequency and depth of the needle. These factors are adjustable to each client’s specific needs. The duration of this treatment depends on the size of an area you’re looking to treat, but it usually ranges around 30-60 minutes.
