How Does RF Microneedling Work?
The Basics
RF microneedling is a skin treatment that rejuvenates a patient’s appearance through the use of very fine needles. The procedure is minimally invasive and can be conducted by a trained dermatologist or aesthetician in under an hour. The needles lightly puncture the skin, creating what’s known as a “controlled” skin injury. These tiny, microscopic wounds are naturally filled with new collagen and elastin by the body.
Go Beyond Traditional Microneedling
RF microneedling varies from traditional microneedling in that it doesn’t just rely on needles to enact change. It incorporates the use of radiofrequency. The radiofrequency energy heats the underlying layers of skin, which constricts and tightens everything as the small injuries are filled with collagen and elastin.
The Procedure and Results
The actual microneedling procedure lasts for roughly half an hour and with the use of topical numbing cream, the procedure is very comfortable. Your aesthetician or dermatologist will use a unique robotic device to accurately and quickly target areas of the dermis showing signs of aging, acne, scarring, and more.
You’ll begin to see results of your skin’s rejuvenation within a matter of weeks post-treatment.
The Potential Side Effects of Microneedling
There are minimal side effects from RF microneedling treatments. Most commonly, these include:
Temporary swelling
Redness
Tingling sensations
Your skin may feel warm and tight, and some treated patients have reported that they look and feel like they’ve had a sunburn recently. All of these symptoms should subside within 24 hours or less.
Recovery Time
In comparison to many other skin restoration treatments, RF microneedling requires virtually no downtime post-procedure. If you receive a relatively superficial treatment, you will likely be able to return to your normal routine almost immediately. Even if you receive more aggressive microneedling, you should be able to return to work in a day or two.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ideally, a complete microneedling regimen will last for roughly six months and include four to six procedures. Throughout the process, each procedure will be spaced out by four to five weeks.
One of the best parts of this treatment is that it can be used to improve any skin type. Microneedling is referred to as a “color-blind” procedure because it does not depend on chromophores (like laser surgeries). Patients of all races and skin tones are viable candidates for the needle procedure.
RF microneedling is safe to use in several delicate areas, including the upper eyelid, eyelash area, nose, and upper lip. It is most commonly used to tighten and rejuvenate skin in the T-zone (forehead, nose, lips, and chin). If you have an area that’s bothering you, discuss it with a trained professional to find out if RF microneedling is safe to use.
Beyond common acne scars and symptoms of aging, microneedling can treat a variety of irregular skin conditions. Dermatologists have been known to recommend RF microneedling for:
- Mild surgical scarring
- Burned areas
- Melasma
- Enlarged pores
- Hyperpigmentation
- Stubborn stretch marks
RF therapy achieves deep penetration into your skin where it actively fights damage from sunburns and exposure. Sun damage breaks down the collagen fibers in your skin, but this treatment quickly stimulates collagen production and counteracts the breakage. Simultaneously, RF therapy significantly reduces wrinkles while giving the patient’s face a slimmer appearance.
