Frequently Asked Questions
How does Fractional RF differ from RF microneedling?
Fractional RF delivers radiofrequency energy through tiny pins to treat the skin in a fractional pattern, targeting deeper layers while sparing the surface. RF microneedling combines microneedles with radiofrequency energy, creating controlled micro-injuries to boost collagen. While both stimulate collagen, fractional RF focuses on skin resurfacing and texture, whereas RF microneedling targets skin tightening and rejuvenation.
How soon can I return to normal skincare after a Venus Viva treatment?
After a Venus Viva fractional RF session, you can typically resume your normal skincare routine within 1 to 3 days, depending on your skin’s response and your provider’s advice.
What makes DiamondPolar suitable for sensitive skin?
DiamondPolar uses multi-polar RF and pulsed electromagnetic fields to gently stimulate deeper skin layers, making it effective for tightening and rejuvenating sensitive skin areas without causing discomfort.
How does the healing process differ between Fractional RF and laser treatments?
Fractional RF treatments generally involve less downtime and a gentler healing process compared to laser treatments, as they target deeper skin layers without ablating the surface.
Is there a risk of scarring with Fractional RF treatments?
When performed by our skilled providers, the risk of scarring from Fractional RF treatments is minimal. Most patients experience only temporary redness or swelling, which typically resolves within a few days.
