What is Radiofrequency Microneedling?

Radiofrequency microneedling is a revolutionary cosmetic procedure that combines the benefits of traditional microneedling with advanced radiofrequency energy technology. This dual-action treatment involves using tiny needles to create micro-punctures on the skin’s surface, stimulating the body’s natural healing process. As the skin works to repair these tiny injuries, it produces more collagen and elastin, essential proteins that contribute to the skin’s firmness and elasticity.
The addition of radiofrequency energy takes this process a step further. Radiofrequency energy, delivered through the microneedles, penetrates deeper into the skin layers, heating the tissue and promoting even greater collagen production. This combination enhances the skin’s texture and tone and addresses deeper skin issues more effectively than microneedling alone.
Benefits of Radiofrequency Microneedling
This advanced treatment is particularly effective for:
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Radiofrequency microneedling smooths out fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production, leaving your skin looking youthful and refreshed.
- Acne Scars: The treatment can significantly improve the appearance of acne scars by promoting new, healthy skin growth.
- Uneven Skin Texture: This treatment can help create a smoother, more even complexion if you struggle with rough or uneven skin texture.
- Sagging Skin: Radiofrequency energy’s deep tissue heating can help tighten sagging skin, giving it a firmer appearance.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Our experienced medical professionals perform the procedure using a specialized device delivering microneedles and radiofrequency energy simultaneously. The treatment is tailored to your skin concerns and typically involves minimal discomfort.
After the procedure, you might experience slight redness and sensitivity, like a mild sunburn. However, this usually subsides within a day or two, allowing you to resume your regular activities quickly. Many clients notice improvements after just one session, but we may recommend a series of treatments for the best results.
Healing Time from Radiofrequency Microneedling
Healing time from Radiofrequency Microneedling (RFMN) varies based on individual skin type, the specific device used, and the depth and intensity of the treatment. Generally, here’s a timeline for the typical healing process:
Immediate Post-Treatment (Day 1-2):
Redness and Swelling: Immediately after the procedure, expect redness and swelling similar to a sunburn. This reaction typically lasts 1-2 days.
Minor Bleeding and Oozing: There may be some pinpoint bleeding or oozing, but this usually resolves within a few hours.
Short-Term Recovery (Day 3-7):
Redness Fading: Redness starts to diminish, and most is gone within a few days.
Skin Sensitivity: Your skin may still feel sensitive, dry, or slightly itchy. It’s crucial to keep your skin moisturized.
Microscopic Scabbing: Tiny scabs may form and naturally flake off as the skin heals. It’s important to avoid picking at these scabs.
Mid-Term Recovery (Week 2-4):
Skin Texture and Tone Improvement: Over the next few weeks, skin texture and tone improvements become more noticeable.
Full Recovery: Most people see significant healing and reduced redness by the end of the second week. However, subtle signs of healing might continue for up to a month for some.
Long-Term Results (1-3 Months):
Collagen Remodeling: As collagen remodeling continues over the next few months, the full benefits of RFMN, such as improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, and better skin tone, become more evident.
Post-Treatment Care Tips
To aid the healing process and optimize results:
- Sun Protection: Use a high SPF sunscreen, avoid direct sun exposure, and wear protective clothing.
- Gentle Skincare: Use gentle, non-irritating skincare products as the Forbes Longevity Center recommends.
- Hydration: Keep your skin well-hydrated with appropriate moisturizers.
- Avoid Irritants: Refrain from harsh chemicals, retinoids, or exfoliants until your skin fully heals.
- Follow Professional Advice: Adhere to the post-treatment care instructions provided by your skincare professional.
