What skin issues can RF microneedling treat?

Microneedling with radiofrequency energy is an effective treatment to rejuvenate the skin. It can improve the look of the skin, reduce wrinkles around the eyes, reduce loose facial skin, reduce pore size, and improve skin texture. In addition, this treatment stimulates the body’s natural collagen production.

How does RF microneedling work?

Like all microneedling procedures, this treatment creates multiple micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulates collagen production, and causes the release of growth factors. With the added technology of flow needles that deliver radiofrequency energy into the dermis, the deeper layer of skin is heated, which tightens tissues and encourages collagen growth. More collagen means tighter, younger-looking skin. Microneedling also helps break down scar tissue mechanically.

How effective is RF microneedling?

Microneedling with radiofrequency energy can effectively treat signs of aging and other skin defects on the face and in other areas with minimal risk and downtime. It is a good treatment option for wrinkles, lip lines, acne, and other depressed scars, stretch marks, skin tightening, and resurfacing. This treatment is “color blind” and safe to use with darker skin types. It can be used with greater safety to address problems that would otherwise require aggressive peel or laser resurfacing. RF microneedling can be combined with other treatments, including resurfacing lasers and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections.
