Microneedling: The procedure starts with microneedling, which involves using a device with tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural wound healing process, leading to the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin rejuvenation.
Radiofrequency Energy: In addition to microneedling, RF energy is delivered into the deeper layers of the skin through the same needles or through separate electrodes. This RF energy generates heat, which further stimulates collagen and elastin production. The controlled heat also helps to tighten the skin and improve its texture.
Collagen Remodeling: The combination of microneedling and RF energy triggers collagen remodeling, which leads to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin over time. The heat from the RF energy also helps to shrink enlarged pores and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Results: RF microneedling can improve various skin concerns, including acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, uneven skin texture, and sagging skin. It typically requires multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results.
