RF Microneedling Defies Aging

Skin aging is characterized by deterioration in function and structure. This process is natural and multi-factorial, with the sun (photoaging) playing a significant role. New collagen synthesis and elastin degradation leads to skin laxity, wrinkles, roughness, pigment changes, dullness, and dryness.

One of the best-studied and proven treatments to combat these changes is RF (radio frequency) microneedling. With no downtime and minimal discomfort, it can address the causes of aging, scars, enlarged pores, wrinkles, and age spots while tightening and lifting the skin on the face, neck, decollete, and body. It works great on stretch marks, too. It is less invasive than laser skin resurfacing and can be performed up to 3 days prior to an event. Topical therapies penetrate the skin better via micro-channels created that act as conduits to the dermis, enhancing the efficacy of topical treatments. We can add platelet-rich fibrin, pigment treatments, elastin-enhancers, and growth factors for days following treatment.

Effects are lasting and reduce the need for neurotoxins (Botox, etc.) and fillers. We like to combine it with many of our other technologies, especially the EMFACE, which tightens and lifts skin, reduces fine lines, lifts eyebrows, and builds cheek muscles. This is the best technology available!

What to Expect at your visit

Your skin will be thoroughly cleaned, and a very strong topical numbing agent will be applied. The procedure takes about 30 minutes, and a cooling device is used to ease any discomfort. If preferred, we will provide mild sedation, which is very effective at blunting pain nerves. You will be able to drive home after your procedure.

Skin is initially warm, red, and slightly swollen. All of these mild side effects resolve quickly. Occasionally, some areas that require deeper treatment remain redder for a longer period of time. This is easily covered with makeup but usually resolves within a few days.

The more treatments, the better. I will often recommend at least 3, especially for older individuals. Touch-ups can be done annually or more frequently as desired. Treatments are performed a month apart to allow for ample neo-collagenesis and tissue repair.
