What Is RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling is named for the two components involved in its skin rejuvenation approach: the pixelation effect that appears in the skin from microneedles and the radiofrequency energy that it delivers to the skin. Through the small punctures and the introduction of radiofrequency energy deep into the tissues, microchannels are formed in the skin. This creates a controlled injury using both heat energy and manual punctures. These microchannels then trigger the body’s natural healing process. By creating this minor damage, collagen production is boosted, and new, healthy tissue is formed. Collagen plays a vital role in the skin’s health, creating the look of healthy, youthful skin. When the skin is damaged through UV rays, the natural aging process, disease, trauma, collagen loss, or through skin irregularities, signs of aging can occur. RF microneedling is a treatment that helps rejuvenate the skin through increased collagen production. Because the transformation begins at the deepest layer of skin, the dermis, cellular improvements will continue for up to 8-12 weeks after each treatment.
