Collagen is far more than just a skincare ingredient. This vital protein forms most of your body’s connective tissue, including the structural support that makes up your skin. As your skin ages, that collagen structure becomes less supportive, allowing skin to sag and develop lines and wrinkles. RF microneedling effectively stimulates new collagen formation to restore firm, even skin that looks naturally youthful.
What is RF Microneedling for Skin Rejuvenation?
At Capital Laser & Skin Care, we pride ourselves on offering the most advanced treatment options. We use Genius® RF microneedling to customize your treatment with precision Intelligent RF Delivery. The needles create tiny channels in your skin, triggering new collagen formation. They also emit controlled RF (radiofrequency) energy into the skin to boost your results. Along with improving signs of aging, this new collagen can improve a wide range of textural issues.
Am I a Good Candidate for RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling is a versatile treatment suitable for many skin concerns. It can be used on any skin tone, and almost anyone is a good candidate. You should be in overall good health and have reasonable expectations about your results.
People who benefit from RF microneedling often want to treat issues such as:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Uneven texture
- Skin laxity
Along with treating almost any part of the face, Genius® RF microneedling can tighten skin and improve texture in areas such as the thighs, arms, and even the abdomen.
You should not have this treatment if you have an active skin condition or skin infection in the treatment area. People with certain medical conditions or a tendency to form abnormal scars may not be good candidates. A consultation is the best way to determine whether microneedling is the right skin rejuvenation treatment for you.
Is There Any Downtime After RF Microneedling?
When you leave your appointment, you can expect what looks and feels like a sunburn. The redness and sensitivity will usually fade within a day or two, but those who have a more intensive treatment may choose to take a day of social downtime. Use non-irritating products and avoid ingredients like retinoids or vitamin C for a few days.
How Many RF Microneedling Treatments Will I Need?
To achieve your best results, you will need a series of microneedling sessions. Depending on the concerns you want to treat, you may need three to six sessions. You can have RF microneedling every four to six weeks.
Your results can last a year or more, and we recommend annual maintenance sessions to keep your skin firm and youthful-looking. Wearing sunscreen and using quality skincare products will help your results last longer.
