Understanding RF Microneedling: Your Guide to Youthful, Radiant Skin
At White Pearl Medical Spa, providing a diverse selection of services for our patients is a top priority. We know that what works for one patient might not be the best treatment for another. Thanks to continued advances in skin care, we are excited to offer Des Plaines, Northwest Suburbs, Illinois, area patients solutions such as RF microneedling treatment to improve their skin’s appearance and health. Let’s look at some frequently asked questions regarding this treatment for men and women.
What is RF microneedling treatment?
RF microneedling, sometimes referred to as “collagen induction therapy,” is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. The treatment uses tiny needles to create micro-wounds on the skin’s surface while delivering heat through RF energy to deeper layers of the skin.
How does RF microneedling work?
During collagen induction therapy, a handheld device with small needles is moved across the targeted area of the skin. As the needles penetrate the skin, they deliver RF energy deep into the dermis layer, stimulating collagen production and tightening existing collagen fibers. This process helps to improve overall skin texture and reduce signs of aging.
Is there any pain involved in the RF microneedling treatment?
Most patients report slight discomfort during the treatment, but it is generally well-tolerated. The intensity of the treatment sensation can vary depending on individual pain tolerance and the depth of the needles used. Your provider may apply a topical anesthetic cream before the treatment to minimize discomfort.
Actual Patient Before And After Results
Are there any side effects or downtime associated with RF microneedling?
After the treatment, you may experience mild redness and swelling in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few days. Some patients may also notice slight bruising or pinpoint bleeding at the needle insertion sites. However, there is no significant downtime associated with RF microneedling, and most people are able to resume their normal activities immediately after they have undergone the procedure.
