Radio Frequency Microneedling

Radio Frequency Microneedling (RFM) is a cutting-edge cosmetic treatment that combines two powerful techniques to improve your skin's appearance.

What is it?

Microneedling: This involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny, controlled injuries in your skin. This process stimulates your body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production, which are essential for healthy and youthful skin.
Radio Frequency Energy: After microneedling, radio frequency energy is delivered through the needles into the deeper layers of your skin. This energy heats the tissue, further stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin.

Benefits

Smoother Skin Texture: RFM can enhance skin texture and firmness.
Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The treatment helps diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Scar Treatment: It's effective for reducing acne scars and other types of scarring.
Skin Tightening: The RF energy tightens the skin, providing a lifting effect.
Minimal Downtime: Most clients return to their daily activities shortly after treatment.
Customizable: Each treatment can be tailored to your individual skin needs.

What to Expect

Multiple Sessions: You may need a series of treatments to achieve the best results, typically spaced a few weeks apart.
Consultation: It's essential to have a consultation to discuss your skin type, concerns, and goals, as well as any potential risks and expected outcomes.

Overall, RFM is an effective option for non-surgical skin rejuvenation that can help you achieve a more youthful and vibrant appearance!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the downtime?

RF Microneedling typically has minimal downtime. You may experience some redness, mild swelling, and slight pinpoint bleeding immediately after the treatment. These effects usually subside within 24–48 hours. Some people may experience mild flaking or dryness as the skin heals, but makeup can typically be applied after 24 hours, and most clients return to normal activities within 1–2 days.

What should I avoid after having my treatment?

After RF Microneedling, it’s important to:

Avoid sun exposure and always wear sunscreen (SPF 30+) to protect your skin while it heals.
Avoid applying makeup for the first 24 hours to allow the skin to breathe and heal.
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot showers for at least 24–48 hours to prevent further irritation and inflammation.
Refrain from using harsh skincare products, including retinols, AHAs, and BHAs, for a few days after treatment.

Who can't have this treatment?

RF Microneedling may not be suitable for:

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.
People with active skin infections or open wounds in the treatment area.
Those with severe rosacea or eczema.
Individuals with metal implants (e.g., pacemakers) in the treatment area, as RF energy may interfere with these devices.
People with certain skin conditions or autoimmune diseases that affect healing.

Is it possible to have an allergic reaction?

An allergic reaction to RF Microneedling is highly unlikely, as it does not involve the use of any foreign substances. However, it is possible to have a reaction to topical numbing creams or post-treatment products if you have sensitive skin or allergies. Always inform your practitioner of any known allergies or sensitivities before treatment.
