Radio Frequency Microneedling
Radiofrequency Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production. We also offer other methods of microneedling that utilize PRP, stem cell growth factor, and other serums to penetrate deep into the skin and further enhance results.
After cleansing the skin surface and applying a topical anesthetic, the microneedling device is gently pressed against the treatment area to create numerous, tiny, micro-channels. Radiofrequency Microneedling delivers RF energy into the dermis. The RF energy heats the dermis which not only encourages collagen growth but tissue tightening as well. The penetration of the microneedles into the skin leads to a release of growth factors and triggers the wound healing cascade, encouraging collagen production which leads to younger looking skin. The needles also help to mechanically break down scar tissue. Since the epidermis is not destroyed, the recovery time is much shorter when compared to more aggressive laser resurfacing treatments or deep chemical peels.
