Frequently Asked Questions
Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling is an advanced treatment that promotes the production of collagen and elastin to treat texture irregularities such as acne scars, wrinkles, and sagging skin using a tripolar, radio-frequency device. This technology delivers controlled heat energy deep into the skin layers for enhanced rejuvenation.
Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries to the skin, which stimulates the body’s natural wound-healing process. This triggers the production of new collagen and elastin fibers, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. The treatment can be customized based on your specific skin concerns and desired outcomes.
Depending on the area being treated, treatment can last anywhere between 45-75 minutes. Your provider will assess your treatment area during your consultation to give you a more accurate time estimate.
You may experience minimal downtime with “cat-like” scratches that can persist up to 6 days. Your skin may be red and tender for the first 24-48 hours following treatment. You will be able to apply makeup 24 hours after treatment if you wish, making this an excellent option for busy lifestyles.
You will need to have a skincare consultation prior to scheduling RF Microneedling treatment as not everyone is a candidate for this treatment option. We generally recommend pretreating with Alastin Nectar, and depending on your skin type we may recommend additional preparations. Avoid using any exfoliation treatments or products 3-5 days before your scheduled treatment.
For most treatments, we recommend using an Epionce aftercare kit and Alastin Nectar. If you had a resurfacing treatment for acne scarring, we will recommend an Avene aftercare kit in conjunction with Alastin Nectar. Proper aftercare is essential for achieving optimal results and minimizing recovery time.
We typically recommend weekly treatments for 6 weeks, then on a quarterly basis in order to maintain the results. Your provider will create a customized treatment plan based on your individual skin concerns and goals.
If you are pregnant, have a pacemaker, or have metal implants in the treatment area you will not be considered for this treatment. Additionally, if you have cancer, an autoimmune disease, uncontrolled diabetes, seizures, vascular disorders, skin that forms keloids, or if you have taken Accutane in the last 6 months, you will not be a candidate for treatment.
