Radio Frequency [RF] treatment is a very well established skin rejuvenation treatment. We have non-invasive mono-polar, bipolar and multipolar machines so you can have your choice of treatments.
Recently fractional micro needling devices have become very popular. Some well know devices are Morpheus8, Profound RF, Vivace, Potenza, Infini RF, Fractora RF, Genuis RF, and Secret RF. We use a Polaris RF machine, which has both minimally invasive micro needling RF and non-invasive fractional RF treatment capability.
What is fractional radiofrequency micro needling?
Many very fine needles penetrate the skin momentarily and RF energy flows between needle tips causing precise heating under the skin layers to create new collagen. This avoids heating the top layers of the skin so downtime is minimal and it is safer for darker skin types. You get benefits of both micro needling and radiofrequency energy.
What can fractional radiofrequency micro needling treat?
- Uneven skin texture
- Large pores
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin laxity
- Acne scars
- Stretch marks
The most common treatment areas include the face, neck, and décolletage, but the RF micro needling hand piece can also be used on the abdomen, knees, thighs, and almost any other body area.
What happens during RF Micro needling treatment?
- A consultation is required to confirm your suitability for this procedure
- A numbing cream will be applied. A cold air chiller may be used for your comfort
- Once you’re sufficiently numb, therapist will begin by applying the hand piece to your skin, covering the entire treatment area.
- As the micro needles puncture your skin and penetrate the dermis, they will emit RF energy as heat. You may feel a warm, prickling sensation.
- After the treatment is complete, a serum, or cream will be applied to your skin.
We recommend our Doctor Formula Serum and recovery cream to compliment this procedure.
How long is the recovery after RF Micro needling?
The recovery is very quick. You may see minor pinpoint bleeding, may experience mild discomfort or swelling for a day or two. More aggressive treatments can result is mild swelling for a few days. Generally you can be back to normal activities in 48 hours. Make up can be applied after 4 hours.
