The team at White Pearl Medical Spa of Des Plaines, Illinois, is here to provide many solutions for improving the skin. This includes revolutionary treatments such as RF microneedling. RF microneedling is a great treatment for sagging skin, imperfect skin tone and texture, and even the signs of aging. Let’s peek at a few of the commonly asked questions from patients.
Our team best describes RF (radiofrequency) microneedling as a treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in your skin while delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the layers. This magical duo stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to tighter, smoother, and more rejuvenated skin.
Not exactly. A numbing cream is applied beforehand to make you comfortable. Most of our patients report feeling warmth and some mild prickles, but it’s nothing unbearable.
A typical RF microneedling session takes 30 to 60 minutes. It is basically a lunch-break beauty boost. Add a little extra time for preparation, and you are good to go immediately after your procedure is performed.
While some patients notice a glow shortly after the treatment, the magic happens gradually. Your skin’s collagen production needs time to do its thing, so expect to see improvement over the next few weeks.
After your treatment, you might experience some redness or mild swelling for a day or two, like a post-exercise flush. You can go about your day as usual, but remember to apply a high SPF sunscreen to protect your skin from sun damage after treatments.
This depends heavily on your skin goals. Most patients see awesome results after three to four treatment sessions spaced about a month apart. Your skincare specialist at our office will help craft a plan tailored just for you.
RF micro needling services can benefit almost anyone looking to tighten skin, improve texture, or reduce fine lines and scars. It’s a versatile treatment that works for many skin types and concerns.
