🌟Best for Acne Prone Skin, Pigmentations, Anti-aging, Texture, Firming
​
How does it work?
RF Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This combination enhances the skin's rejuvenation process, leading to improved texture, tone, and firmness. Here’s a detailed look at how RF microneedling works:
​
1. Microneedling Process:
Microneedling involves the use of fine needles to create tiny punctures (micro-injuries) in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural wound healing process, which includes:
​
2. Collagen Production:
The micro-injuries stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin, essential proteins that help maintain the skin's structure and elasticity.
Cell Turnover: The healing process promotes cell turnover, replacing old, damaged skin cells with fresh, healthy ones.
3. Radiofrequency Energy:
The addition of RF energy enhances the benefits of traditional microneedling. Here's how it works:
-
RF Energy Delivery: During the procedure, the microneedles penetrate the skin and deliver RF energy deep into the dermal layers.
-
Heat Generation: The RF energy generates controlled heat within the dermis, without damaging the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). This heat stimulates further collagen and elastin production.
-
Tissue Tightening: The thermal effect of RF energy causes the collagen fibers to contract and tighten, leading to immediate skin tightening and long-term rejuvenation.
4. Benefits:
-
Improved Skin Texture and Tone: The combination of microneedling and RF energy leads to smoother, more even skin.
-
Reduced Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Increased collagen and elastin production helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
-
Minimized Scarring: Effective for reducing the appearance of acne scars and other types of scarring.
-
Skin Tightening: RF energy promotes tissue tightening, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
