Most people know what it’s like to have uneven skin. Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a procedure used to effectively diminish skin markings like scars and wrinkles. 

Microneedling stimulates your body’s natural skin healing process to create a more even complexion. Keep reading to learn more about how RF microneedling treatments can rejuvenate your skin for a more youthful appearance. 

What Is Microneedling? 

Microneedling skin treatments are administered with a handheld pen-like device. The pens have clusters of micro-needles that puncture your skin. Your body responds to the tiny wounds by producing more collagen. 

Collagen is the substance that keeps your skin firm and lifted. As you age, your body’s collagen production declines substantially. This leaves you with sagging, sun-damaged, dry skin. 

Elastin is another compound your skin needs to look youthful. It gives your skin flexibility and helps it remain tight. Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production, rejuvenating the quality of your skin. 

After a few microneedling treatments, you should notice acne scars, wrinkles, and sunspots fading drastically. This treatment replaces damaged, aged skin with brand-new collagen and elastin fibers. You essentially grow a new layer of skin over the holes made by the microneedling pen. 

What Happens During an RF Microneedling Session?

First, we apply a numbing cream to the areas we are treating. This makes the procedure more comfortable for you. Once your skin is numb, we begin to apply the pen to your skin. 

We roll the microneedling pen in a specific pattern over your skin. The needles prick specific areas where you want more refined, glowing skin. Your body begins to heal these tiny wounds almost instantly. 

While the pen pricks your skin, it also releases radiofrequency energy into your skin cell matrix. This energy stimulates even more collagen and elastin production. As a result, your skin will look much more youthful and supple. 

It may take some time for you to notice visible changes, but your body will be working hard under the surface to refresh and rejuvenate your skin. 

What Skin Problems Can RF Microneedling Fix?

Many patients with different skin types and lifestyle factors get RF microneedling treatments. Microneedling addresses various skin concerns using your skin’s natural healing process. Whether you are in your 30s or 60s, microneedling can rejuvenate your skin. 

Some of the skin problems addressed by RF microneedling include:

  • Acne scars
  • Wrinkles
  • Fine lines
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Sagging skin
  • Stretch marks
  • Sunspots
  • Dull skin

Younger patients may want to fade stretch marks or acne scars, while older patients usually focus more on wrinkles. You can expect these skin issues to begin fading after RF microneedling treatments. No matter what brings you in for microneedling, you should see impressive results. 

Are There Any Special Aftercare Instructions?

No. Microneedling is a convenient procedure because it doesn’t require any downtime afterward. You can go about your day as you normally would. Some patients even come in during their lunch breaks at work. All you have to do is let your body heal itself, and over time, you will notice your complexion improve. 

We always recommend caring for your skin with a high-quality routine to maintain your results. However, you don’t have to do anything out of the ordinary after your microneedling appointment. 

What Are the RF Microneedling Benefits?

The increased collagen production results in many RF microneedling benefits after your treatments. Collagen is essential for combating the signs of aging on your skin. The radiofrequency energy also helps your skin’s complexion and texture improve. 

Some RF microneedling benefits may include:

  • More even skin tone
  • More youthful appearance
  • Reduced acne scars
  • Faded stretch marks
  • Diminished wrinkles and fine lines
  • Firmer skin
  • Lifted appearance
  • Diminished sunspots and other dark spots
  • Smoother skin texture
  • Fresh skin on the surface

If you want to take advantage of these RF microneedling benefits, you should schedule at least four to six sessions. We can discuss your treatment plan during your initial consultation, where we evaluate the current condition of your skin. 

Microneedling rejuvenates your skin by providing a brand-new layer of collagen and elastin to firm your skin. This makes your skin smoother and more even.

Will the Needles Permanently Damage My Skin?

No. Deep tissue damage is not a concern with microneedling because the needles are tiny. The pinpricks made in your skin only create miniature wounds that your body easily heals. The main purpose of microneedling is to prompt your body to make more collagen and elastin. 

How Long Will My Results Last?

You should schedule microneedling appointments every four to six weeks until your skin concerns resolve. For some people, this means booking three total treatments, while others need five to six sessions. We guide you through this process so that you will know exactly what to expect from your results. 

Once your scarring, sunspots, or other marks have faded, you can schedule maintenance appointments. This is especially helpful for older patients whose skin continues to show signs of aging.
