WHAT IS RF MICRONEEDLING?
Similar to traditional microneedling, RF microneedling employs a device equipped with numerous short, fine needles to generate minuscule injuries in the skin, thereby prompting cell renewal. Unlike traditional microneedling, RF microneedling additionally harnesses radiofrequency technology to heat the skin, aiding in its tightening. Bradley elucidates, "The device's heat remodels collagen, while the needle depth induces controlled injury to encourage the regeneration, smoothing, and tightening of the skin's elastin fibers."
HOW RF MICRONEEDLING WORKS?
NP Khrystyna Nehoda explains that RF Microneedling functions as a radiofrequency (RF) microneedling apparatus, effectively blending the advantages of radiofrequency technology with those of microneedling procedures. Throughout a RF Microneedling session, fine needles emitting radiofrequency energy are precisely inserted into the skin, inducing a controlled injury. This process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, pivotal proteins essential for skin firmness, tightness, and smoothness.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF RF MICRONEEDLING?
RF Microneedling offers numerous advantages for facial, neck, and body skin, primarily due to its capacity to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Following a RF Microneedling procedure, patients often experience significant benefits such as:
-
Enhanced skin texture, resulting in reduced pore size
-
Diminished appearance of acne scars and marks
-
Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
-
Improved definition of the jawline and sculpted cheekbones
-
Firmer, tighter, and lifted skin
Personally, I found that the most notable benefit of RF Microneedling was the overall plumpness of my skin and the reduction in fine lines. Despite not having Botox for over six months, my forehead and eye area still appear and feel smooth, which I attribute to my RF Microneedling treatment. Additionally, knowing from NP Nehoda that RF Microneedling can also serve as a preventive measure against future signs of aging, I am hopeful that the treatment will help stave off wrinkles and skin sagging in the years to come.
HOW LONG DO RF MICRONEEDLING RESULTS LAST?
NP Nehoda explains that while the effects of RF Microneedling are not permanent, they typically endure for approximately one year. He emphasizes that individual variations in collagen production capacity and lifestyle choices can influence the duration of the results.
It's important to note that the outcomes are not immediate, as collagen regeneration is a gradual process. Although my skin appeared more radiant immediately after the treatment, noticeable smoothing and tightening effects took about a month to manifest. Therefore, if you're considering RF Microneedling to enhance your skin before a significant occasion, I would advise scheduling your appointment approximately six weeks beforehand.
WHAT IS THE DURATION OF A
RF MICRONEEDLING SESSION?
The RF Microneedling treatment session had a total duration of approximately 90 minutes. This included completing paperwork upon arrival and 45 minutes of numbing cream application to the face. The treatment itself lasted 25 minutes. After ensuring thorough numbing, the TOXWELL Med Spa & Wellness professional cleansed the face and performed two passes with the device using swift stamping motions. Additional quick stamps were applied to specific target areas, like under the eyes and along the jawline before the session concluded.
HOW DO YOU HEAL FROM RF MICRONEEDLING?
Despite its potency, the recovery period following RF Microneedling treatment is relatively short. Initially, there may be redness and tenderness for about an hour, transitioning to a pinkish hue. Days two to four may involve persistent pinkness, dryness in some areas, and occasional pinpoint bleeding, concealable with tinted sunscreen. By the fifth day, full recovery is typically achieved. To mitigate downtime, scheduling treatment for a Friday evening allows for weekend rest and recuperation.
After an RF Microneedling treatment, TOXWELL Med Spa & Wellness professionals advise refraining from makeup for at least 24 hours and avoiding aggressive skincare products or those containing active ingredients, such as retinol, AHAs/BHAs, or vitamin C. Since the skin is most susceptible 24 hours after the procedure, we suggest using gentle cleansers and moisturizers while avoiding direct sun exposure for a week following treatment.
