What is Radio Frequency Micro-Needling?
Radio Frequency Micro-needling (RF Micro-needling) is an innovative skin rejuvenation treatment that combines the benefits of traditional micro-needling with the power of radiofrequency energy. This dual approach stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, tighter, and smoother skin.
How It Works:
Microneedling: Ultrafine needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing and collagen renewal response.
Radiofrequency Energy: Radiofrequency energy is delivered through the needles, generating heat in the deeper layers of the dermis and an intense thermal stimulation. This heat stimulates collagen and elastin production, tightens the skin globally and helps to improve skin texture and tone throughout.
Benefits of RF Microneedling:
Improves Skin Texture: Reduces the appearance of scars, acne marks and enlarged pores.
Tightens Skin: Promotes collagen production, tightens the skin globally leading to firmer and tauter skin.
Reduces Wrinkles: Smooths out fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.
Minimal Downtime: Patients can typically return to their normal activities the day after the procedure.
