FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What Can I Expect From RF Microneedling Results?
Your results will come in gradually as you heal and continue to undergo RF microneedling sessions. Some patients may see a noticeable difference after one session, though for others it may take more than one. Generally, patients will begin to see their skin look smoother and carry a more even tone. Scarring likely will reduce in appearance and the overall quality of skin improve.
After a consultation, your master esthetician can better describe what RF microneedling results will look like for you and what to expect following your first treatment. Every patient has varying needs and heals differently. Furthermore, results are geared towards your individual goals.
Is RF Needling Painful?
Your master esthetician will apply numbing cream before the treatment to keep you perfectly comfortable during treatment. Patients generally feel very little pain during treatment.
How Does It Compare To Other Procedures Like Chemical Peels?
RF microneedling is comparable to–and often more effective–than other treatments. Additionally, microneedling is safe for all skin tones, unlike lasers and some chemical peels. Therefore, it is an option for people with darker skin unable to undergo other procedures.
As far as what they treat and how well RF microneedling works, the best treatment for every patient will depend on many factors. However, microneedling can benefit almost anyone who is a good candidate and addresses most major skin concerns.
What Are The Benefits Of Adding Plasma To RF Microneedling?
Adding plasma to radiofrequency microneedling sessions can supercharge results. Drawing blood and spinning it within a centrifuge isolates the plasma. It is then applied during and/or after RF microneedling treatment. Some of the benefits of adding plasma to your microneedling treatment include:
- Increase and speed up the production of collagen
- Induce skin cell turnover
- Improve overall skin quality
- Great for treating acne scars
- May reduce side effects
- Promotes tighter skin
- Tends to provide better results than traditional microneedling
- Unlikely to cause irritation
- Allergic reactions are nearly impossible
Is RF Microneedling Safe?
Radiofrequency microneedling is FDA approved, as are both other radiofrequency and microneedling treatments. When used correctly by a trained professional like our master estheticians, RF microneedling is a perfectly safe and effective procedure.
Where Can You Perform RF Microneedling?
Microneedling–while most commonly performed on the face–can be used in a variety of places. The procedure can treat surgical scars, stretch marks, and mild loose skin. Therefore, this gives it many possible treatment areas. Some of the places RF microneedling is frequently performed are:
- Face
- Neck
- Arms
- Underarms (mostly for hyperhidrosis)
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Knees
- Legs
RF microneedling is safe for use across the body. If you are interested in RF microneedling away from the face or neck, discuss this with your master esthetician.
