What Is Microneedling with RF Technology?
Microneedling - at Aesthetics by Summit - is a non-invasive treatment with no downtime. This state of the art treatment improves ALL aspects of the skin. Previously these results could only be seen with treatments like CO2 laser ablation - removing layers of skin. Such treatments would require anesthesia and 2-3 week downtime.
What makes the Microneedling treatment at Aesthetics by Summit so unique? Unlike traditional microneedling, RF microneedling uses radio frequency energy that is delivered via small needles. The RF energy heats the skin’s underlying layers, which causes the skin to tighten as well as stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. Months after your treatment, your own body keeps on working to renew your skin’s tone and texture. The RF energy is delivered deep in the the dermis allowing for a more effective and timely response to scar reduction and skin tightening.
What Does Microneedling Treat?
Microneedling with RF technology addresses several key areas of concern for many: acne scarring, body and face scars, texture concerns, wrinkles, jowling, eye bags, stretch marks, and skin laxity.
How Does Microneedling Work?
A microneedling treatment creates a controlled injury to the skin and reaches the dermis layer of our skin, where collagen and elastin are produced. The radio frequency when combined with microneedling, takes the energy from the micro needles to the precise depth needed in the subdermal layer. This is deeper than any stand alone microneedling treatment has been able to do in the past. The result is a desirable response from your own body-production of new collagen and elastin. A natural tightening effect also occurs.
What Is the Microneedling with RF Technology Procedure Like?
Microneedling with RF Technology is an easy, safe and effective procedure. During the procedure, you will feel a slight heating and some pressure on the treatment area. For most patients, the treatment is tolerable but your provider will work with you to maximize your comfort level. Prior to your procedure, a numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to increase comfort during the treatment.
How Far Apart Should I Schedule My Treatments?
Patients typically can expect to see optimal results after 3-6 consistent sessions, spaced about 1 month apart.
What Can I Expect After my Procedure?
After this skin rejuvenation treatment, minor skin irratation and redness may occur. To assist the healing process, it is essential to follow a microneedling aftercare routine to set your skin up for success and optimize your results. We will discuss this thoroughly at your consultation.
