Treatment Involve ?

RF Microneedling is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that involves the use of fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface. Simultaneously, radiofrequency energy is delivered into the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This dual-action promotes skin tightening and texture improvement. The procedure is known for its effectiveness in treating a range of skin issues without the need for extensive downtime.

Full Recovery Time:The recovery time after RF Microneedling is relatively short compared to more invasive procedures. Patients can expect the following timeline:

  • Immediate Recovery: Mild redness and swelling are common immediately after the procedure.
  • First Few Days: Any initial redness and swelling typically subside within the first few days.
  • One Week: Most patients can resume normal activities within a week, and any residual redness can often be easily covered with makeup.
  • Long-Term: The full benefits of RF Microneedling become more apparent over time as collagen continues to be produced, contributing to ongoing skin improvement.

During the procedure, a specialized device with microneedles is applied to the skin's surface. The needles create microchannels, and radiofrequency energy is delivered into the skin. The depth of penetration and energy levels can be adjusted based on the specific skin concerns being addressed. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, and numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort.


How does it work?

The treatment works by combining the benefits of microneedling and radiofrequency. The microneedles create tiny punctures, triggering the body's natural healing response. The addition of radiofrequency energy enhances collagen production, leading to firmer, smoother skin. The controlled injury and heat stimulate tissue regeneration, resulting in overall skin rejuvenation.


What can it treat?

RF Microneedling is effective in treating various skin issues, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and skin laxity. It provides overall skin tightening and texture improvement.


Is RF Microneedling painful?

While some discomfort may be experienced during the procedure, a topical anesthetic is applied to minimize pain.

What is the downtime after RF Microneedling?

Downtime is minimal, with patients usually experiencing redness and mild swelling that resolves within a few days.

How many sessions are recommended for optimal results?

The number of sessions varies, but a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results.
