Benefits of Radiofrequency Microneedling
RF (radiofrequency) microneedling is a revolutionary cosmetic procedure, transforming the beauty world and pushing the boundaries of anti-ageing solutions. This innovative treatment combines the power of microneedles with radiofrequency technology to address a wide range of skin concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to acne scars and sagging skin. So, to bring you all the nitty-gritty on radio frequency microneedling, Natural Beauty has been exploring its capabilities, potential benefits, associated risks, and what individuals can expect from the latest advancement in this non-surgical anti-ageing cosmetic treatment!
How does RF Microneedling work?
RF microneedling is a cosmetic procedure combining two existing and very effective technologies: microneedling and radiofrequency energy (RF). Microneedling is delivered by tiny, sterile needles used to create thousands of controlled minuscule micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production. Simultaneously, these needles release RF energy and deliver controlled radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin. As this RF energy heats the skin tissue, it causes controlled thermal damage, signalling your body to stimulate new collagen growth, and it’s this fusion of microneedling and RF-controlled thermal damage that results in abundant collagen production, essential for maintaining skin elasticity and suppleness, skin tightening, improved texture, and reduced signs of ageing.
What is the benefit of RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling offers several benefits non-invasively for anyone seeking skin rejuvenation and improvement in various skin concerns, including:
Does Microneedling with RF really work?
RF microneedling is generally considered a very effective treatment for multiple skin issues, with many clients reporting positive results. However, the effectiveness of RF microneedling can vary depending on several factors. Indeed, multiple treatment sessions are usually recommended to achieve the best results, and the number of sessions needed can vary depending on the individual’s goals and skin condition. You should follow post-treatment care instructions, such as sunscreen and avoiding sun exposure. Additionally, individual skin types may mean some people may see more significant improvements than others. It’s, therefore, essential to have realistic expectations when considering RF microneedling, as the degree of improvement may vary. However, it is considered a valuable option for anti ageing skin rejuvenation and addressing various skin issues.
Is one session of RF Microneedling enough?
The number of RF microneedling sessions needed to see noticeable results can vary from person to person, including the specific skin concerns being addressed, the severity of those concerns, and individual skin characteristics. While some improvements may be noticeable shortly after the treatment, the full benefits of RF microneedling become more apparent over time as collagen regenerates. Multiple sessions are typically recommended for optimal results, and for most, a series of treatments of 3 to 4 sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, is recommended. Similarly, maintaining a good skincare routine and following post-treatment care instructions is crucial to maximise the benefits of RF microneedling and ensure a successful outcome.
How long does it take to heal from RF Microneedling?
The advantages of RF microneedling are minimal downtime, typically far less than some other skin rejuvenation treatments. Most people experience some redness, and a few may experience mild swelling immediately after the procedure, which usually subsides within a few days. However, it’s generally considered safe and is a very effective procedure suitable for many skin types that can significantly improve skin tone, texture, and overall appearance.
What are the do’s and do’nts after RF Microneedling?
After undergoing RF microneedling, following your post-treatment care instructions is essential to ensure proper healing and maximise the benefits of the treatment. These requirements are likely to include using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on the treated area when going outside to prevent hyperpigmentation and skin damage. You should also try to avoid hot showers to avoid irritation, stay hydrated, and use a gentle, hydrating moisturiser to the treated area to keep the skin moist and comfortable. You will also likely be required to temporarily avoid certain skincare products, especially those containing active ingredients like retinoids or alpha hydroxy acids.
