For any skin concerns such as wrinkles, open pores, and acne scars, we always want a quick, speedy result, and we want it to prolong. Thankfully, we live in a world where technological boosts can curiously refine skin conditions. RF Micro needling results in stimulated collagen production to improve skin texture over a few months.
What is RF Micro Needling?
Micro needling uses a fine needle to create micro wounds, or channels, in the skin. This triggers the production of capillaries, elastin, and collagen. It’s also called skin needling or collagen induction therapy.
If the procedure also uses radio frequency waves, it’s called radio frequency micro needling. The needle releases radio frequency into the channels, causing additional damage. This enhances the effects of standard micro needling. After an RF Microneedling treatment, our skin produces more collagen for repairing the micro-wounds leading to a smoother skin surface. That’s why we don’t see instant results with RF Micro needling. After all, Collagen and elastic are the secret weapons that keep our skin smooth and firm.
The skin that grows back is thicker and smoother. This can target:
- fine lines
- wrinkles
- stretch marks
- appearance of large pores
- acne scars
- scars from injury or surgery
- hyperpigmentation
- loose, sagging skin
- cellulite
- hyperhidrosis
You can also get radio frequency microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
In this procedure, your provider draws blood from your arm and uses a machine to separate the platelets. After a micro needling session, your provider injects or applies the platelets to the treated area. This may maximize the result of your treatment.
Effects Continue After Treatment.
Normally, a RF Micro needling process can show results as soon as a few days, but further results develop as your body begins to produce collagen. Many people see a good result after one treatment, but typically 3-5 sessions are recommended to get the best results. After that, occasional maintenance sessions are recommended every 6-12 months.
