Radiofrequency Microneedling
Radiofrequency microneedling is a device-based treatment that delivers controlled radiofrequency energy into the skin through microneedles. It may be considered to support skin tissue renewal in relation to skin quality, the appearance of pores and the appearance of scars.
What Is Radiofrequency Microneedling?
Gold-plated microneedles enter the skin at a controlled depth, and radiofrequency energy is delivered through the needle tips. The aim is to combine the effects of microneedling and radiofrequency.
Needle depth and energy level are adjusted according to the skin area and concern being addressed. The face, neck and décolletage are commonly treated; acne scars and the appearance of pores are frequent concerns.
How Is the Procedure Performed?
- Assessment. Skin characteristics and target areas are assessed, and a session plan is determined.
- Preparation. The skin is cleaned, an anesthetic cream is applied for comfort, and time is allowed for it to take effect.
- Treatment. Microneedles and radiofrequency energy are applied to the area using the device handpiece at the planned depth and settings.
- Aftercare and follow-up. Aftercare recommendations are provided, and sessions are repeated at the planned intervals.
Who May Be Considered for Treatment?
- People who notice acne scars and uneven skin texture
- People concerned about the appearance of their pores
- People who wish to support skin firmness and quality
- People who wish to address fine lines
Treatment may be postponed during active acne flare-ups, skin infection and certain skin conditions; suitability is considered during the medical assessment.
After Treatment
Redness and a mild burning sensation may occur after treatment and usually subside within a few days. Sun protection and moisturizing are important during this period; the timing for resuming makeup and skincare products is discussed during the consultation.
