Radiofrequency Micro-needling
Radiofrequency micro-needling is a minimally invasive treatment that reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and scarring. It utilizes radiofrequency energy and tiny needles to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production and healing processes revealing rejuvenated firmer skin.
Micro-needling with radiofrequency creates controlled punctures or micro-wounds to the skin to trigger the production of elastin, collagen, and capillaries. The radiofrequency energy released in these channels further enhances the standard effects of micro-needling resulting in thicker, firmer, and smoother skin.
Radiofrequency micro-needling targets fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, acne scars, large pores, hyperpigmentation, sagging skin, cellulite, and scars from injury or surgery. Micro-needling can also be done in combination with other treatments such as stem cell growth factor, PRP, and other serums to further enhance the treatment.

Radiofrequency Micro-needling procedure
You will meet with your preferred provider for the consultation where you will discuss your concerns and goals. He/she will examine your skin and take your medical history before they can conclude that radiofrequency is the right treatment for you. If you are a good candidate for the procedure you will be given instructions on how to prepare for it such as taking oral antibiotics if you have active acne breakouts or taking oral antiviral medication if you are prone to cold sores. During the procedure, your treatment area will be cleaned. A topical anesthetic will be applied before the procedure to numb the pain and make you feel as comfortable as possible. The provider will gently press the micro-needling device against your skin to create the micro-wounds and simultaneously the tips of the device will also be releasing radiofrequency energy into the tiny wounds.
The whole procedure may take about 15-30 minutes but this will depend on the treatment area and what is being treated.
A growth solution will then be applied to the target area to support cell regeneration and lastly, a soothing solution will also be applied to minimize discomfort.
