Microneedling with Radiofrequency

Microneedling With Radiofrequency (RF)

A smooth, elastic and firm skin are known to be the symbol of youth. Collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid are the fundamental compounds that contribute to these effects. Both microneedling devices and radiofrequency devices are being used for skin tightening and rejuvenation, however, when these devices are combined, it creates a synergy that amplifies the rejuvenation process.

We are proud to provide you with the latest technology in microneedling with radiofrequency in San Diego to rejuvenate and tighten your skin.

What’s Microneedling With RF (Radiofrequency)?

Microneedling with RF is a safe treatment that is FDA cleared. This treatment uses microneedles to deliver radiofrequency energy into the various depth of the skin including the dermis, and deeper layers where treatment is most effective.

It combines two nonsurgical therapies to tighten your skin, to enhance your skin’s texture and tone, to treat acne scars, and to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines with minimal discomfort and little or no downtime. Microneedling with RF induces collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production. Microneedles makes microscopic injuries in the deeper layer of the skin (dermis) and the RF energy is delivered directly into the dermis through these quoted microneedles. This energy heats up the dermis and stimulates the natural process of healing with the help of growth factors to produce elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid.

Over multiple treatments, your skin becomes firmer and smoother.

Since this treatment precisely focuses on deeper layers of your skin, your skin surface isn’t damaged, which makes this treatment safe for people of all skin colors and type.

How Does Microneedling With Radiofrequency Work?

RF microneedling involves the insertion of microneedles into the dermis which is the deeper layer of the skin, and deliver RF energy into the specific area. These microneedles create micro-wounds to the dermis initiating a cascade of healing. These partially injured cells release wound healing signals to undifferentiated cells resulting in a localized inflammatory response that last from 1 to 6 hours following the procedure. The micro-injuries caused by microneedles and RF energy stimulate fibroblasts to the production of new elastin and collagen. This newly produced collagen and elastin fills in the injured areas and tightens your skin.

Your skin will continue producing new collagen and elastin anywhere from a few weeks to up to 8 months following the procedure. The heat produced by radiofrequency generates a healing response that triggers collagen production and remodeling, allowing your skin to redensify meaning tighten and stick closer to the underlying tissue and muscles.

Why Is Microneedling With Radiofrequency Better Than Other Treatments Or Technologies Available Today?

The energy is delivered to multiple layers of the skin resulting in a unique wound geometry due to the design of the needle electrodes. This is in contrast to HIFU technology such as Ultherapy where the energy is delivered to small blebs of tissue in a single layer.

This unique design of wound geometry results in more volumization of the tissue making it fuller, plumper, and other benefits such as:

• You can selectively treat lesions based on needle length
• The side effects are minimal in the epidermis as a result of the insulated needles.
• Very short downtime
• There is no scab after the procedure
• Less pain
• We add PRP for faster healing and more collagen and elastin production

What Is Microneedling With Radiofrequency Used For?

Microneedling with RF can be used in the following ways:

• Firm up and tighten facial, chest, and neck skin, as well as any other area you choose to target
• Decrease wrinkles on the décolletage
• Minimize or eliminates pores, acne scars, and stretch marks
• Reduce melasma and rosacea
• Reduce oiliness of the skin
• Treat sun damage
• Improve skin tone and texture
• Reduce wrinkles and fine lines
• Bring back your youthful glow

Summary

For optimal results, a series of 3 treatments is recommended, every three to four weeks.

Microneedling with radiofrequency is effective and safe for all skin tones and types to reduce sagging skin, improve textural changes, fine lines/wrinkles, scars on the body, neck, and face.

Microneedling with radiofrequency may be combined with other types of procedures such as Botox, dermal fillers, or laser resurfacing procedures to reduce or eliminate sun damage.

(PRP) can also be added to the microneedling with radiofrequency to accelerate collagen production and enhanced healing.
