Microneedling with RF

Microneedling with RF

At Advanced Skin Therapy, we are committed to providing professional, welcoming, and knowledgeable care to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. One of our premier treatments is Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling, a cutting-edge procedure designed to rejuvenate your skin and restore its youthful vitality.

What is RF Microneedling?

RF Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy. This innovative treatment uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin while simultaneously delivering RF energy into the deeper layers. This dual-action approach stimulates the body’s natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin

RF Microneedling and traditional microneedling both work to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen production, but they do so in different ways. While standard microneedling creates micro-injuries to prompt the body’s natural healing response, RF microneedling enhances this process by delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the skin. This added heat stimulates even greater collagen and elastin production, producing firmer, more youthful-looking skin with longer-lasting results.

At Advanced Skin Therapy, we utilize the state-of-the-art Venus Versa Pro system to perform RF Microneedling treatments. This advanced device combines NanoFractional RF™ technology with SmartScan™ to deliver precise and customizable treatments, ensuring optimal results for our clients. The Venus Versa Pro effectively reduces the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, and other skin irregularities, providing a comprehensive solution for skin rejuvenation.

Benefits of RF Microneedling

RF Microneedling offers a multitude of benefits, including:

  • Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, this treatment helps smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a more youthful appearance. 
  • Improved Skin Tone and Texture: The procedure enhances skin texture and tone, producing a more even and refined complexion. 
  • Minimization of Acne Scars and Large Pores: RF Energy targets scar tissue and reduces pore size, leading to a clearer, more polished look. 
  • Skin Firming and Tightening: The combination of microneedling and RF energy reaches the subcutaneous layer of the skin, effectively tightening and firming sagging areas. 
  • Suitable for All Skin Types: Unlike some laser treatments, Microneedling RF is safe and effective for every skin type. 
  • Shorter Downtime: Compared to CO2 laser treatments, RF Microneedling offers a shorter recovery period, allowing you to resume normal activities more quickly. 
  • Longer-Lasting Results: The effects of RF Microneedling are longer-lasting than treatments like Botox, providing sustained improvements in skin quality.

The RF Microneedling Treatment Process

Preparation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation, where we assess your skin concerns, take reference photographs, and determine the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to your needs. On the day of the treatment, your skin will be cleansed with alcohol to prevent infection. 

During the Procedure: A topical anesthetic is applied to the target area approximately one hour before the procedure to ensure your comfort. Using the Venus Versa Pro device, fine needles create tiny punctures in the skin while delivering RF energy into the deeper layers. Depending on the treatment area, this process typically takes 20-30 minutes. 

Post-Procedure: You can typically resume normal activities immediately after the procedure, though it’s advisable to follow specific aftercare instructions for optimal results.

Aftercare Recommendations

To ensure the best possible outcome, we recommend the following aftercare steps:

  • Reduce Swelling: Apply ice packs as necessary to minimize swelling. 
  • Sun Protection: Always wear SPF, especially in the weeks following treatment, as your skin may be more sensitive to sunlight. 
  • Gentle Cleansing: Use a gentle cleanser to clean your skin following the treatment. 
  • Avoid Makeup: Refrain from wearing makeup for the first 24 hours post-procedure; you can return to your normal makeup and skincare routine after the first initial day.

 

Potential Side Effects

While Microneedling with RF is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience temporary side effects such as dryness, redness, scaling, itching, swelling, mild acne flare-ups, or cold sore breakouts. These effects typically last for a few days. Rare complications include allergic reactions to the needles, signs of infection, persistent swelling or redness, bruising, fatigue, or headaches. Our team will provide detailed information on what to expect and how to manage any side effects. 

Who Can Benefit from RF Microneedling?

RF Microneedling is suitable for individuals looking to improve the overall appearance of their skin. Ideal candidates include those who:

  • Struggle with fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or uneven skin texture
