RF FRACTIONAL NEEDLING

COMBINING RADIO FREQUENCY WITH SKIN NEEDLING

​

​

Micro needling is a highly sought-after procedure that’s been shown to produce exceptional results. When paired with focused radio frequency (RF) technology the treatment becomes one of the most advanced non-surgical facelifts on the market. RF micro needling provides instant, long-term results you’ll love!

​

Fractional Micro-needling with RF is a minimally invasive treatment to reduce the appearance of Wrinkles, Scarring, Acne Scarring and Sagging skin and Stretch Marks for all skin types and skin complexion. The addition of Radio frequency energy to the Micro needling procedure helps to further stimulate the body’s natural collagen and healing processes revealing firmer, rejuvenated skin of all skin tones.

RF NEEDLING

 

The treatment involves the use of an array of very fine sterilised tiny needles to create microscopic wounds at various predetermined depths in the dermis, without affecting the epidermis. The delivery of energy leads to the creation of an array of microscopic wounds in the dermis, interspersed between intact tissue. The direct thermal heating of the dermis results in new collagen production and subsequent dermal thickening. The presence of the intact epidermis and the surrounding dermal tissue results in rapid re-epithelialization and thus minimal downtime and risks.

​

The Fractional Radiofrequency Microneedling device really is a game-changer in the aesthetics industry. It combats deep acne scarring and rejuvenates the skin. It is the skin treatment that everybody is talking about!

​

Microneedling creates tiny pinpricks on the target area and stimulates the skins natural healing response. Collagen production is increased which plumps out the skin and smooths and tightens its surface. This results in a more even texture, fewer lumps and bumps, and a reduction in pore size.

​

Unlike some procedures, RF Fractional Microneedling can be used on all skin types, so treatments can continue all year round.

How Does (RF) Micro-Needling Work?

​

The Fractional Micro needling RF handheld device delivers three-layer therapy to predetermined problem zones. The RF energy heats the underlying layers of skin, causing constriction and tightening of the skin, as well as the stimulation of collagen and elastin production at deeper layers of the skin. Treatment levels are adjusted as needed to ensure an optimal outcome with minimal discomfort. Because the RF energy is delivered so deeply, it can produce faster results that are more dramatic.

RF Micro needling uses  a gold plated needle device which gently penetrates the skin to deliver radio-frequency deep into the dermal layers of the skin. The radio frequency heats at depths that provide cumulative and ongoing benefits of collagen stimulation, skin tightening and resurfacing. Your RF micro needling procedure is tailored to your individual needs. While micro needling creates tiny channels to the superficial layers of skin, focused radio frequency wavelengths target the deeper layers.

 

Benefits of RF MicroNeedling

​

Micro-needling (also known as collagen induction therapy) is a minimally invasive treatment that has been used for decades to rejuvenate the skin. A device with fine needles or pins creates tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin. Results can include improved texture and firmness, as well as skin resurfacing. RF micro-needling adds the element of radio frequency energy to the traditional micro-needling procedure. The RF energy is delivered via small needles into the dermis. In addition to the benefits seen with the micro-injury provided by the traditional micro needles, RF micro-needling also delivers RF energy deep into the dermis further enhancing skin tightening and scar reduction.

Micro needling with Radio Frequency can be the ideal skin rejuvenation treatment for almost any area on the face or body. Whether you’d like to address visible signs of ageing on the hands or tighten lax skin on the abdomen, micro needling can help.

​

  • Minimally invasive

  • Shorter procedure time and downtime

  • Lower risks such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and scarring

 

If you’re looking for a powerful rejuvenation treatment that produces exceptional results without significant downtime, Micro needling with Radio Frequency may be right for you. This is safe and effective for treatment on the lower face, neck, hands, chest, and more.

​

Micro needling and Radio Frequency is used to reduce and improve wrinkles, stretch marks, acne scars and generally improve the tone and texture on the skin. Results can include smoother, tighter, more radiant skin. Radio frequency has long been used and is a proven technology. Radio frequency helps stimulate the body’s own natural healing processes and stimulates collagen fibres. Micro needling and Radio Frequency give you beautiful, smoother, healthier, younger looking skin.

You’ll see a gradual improvement to complexion issues as well as overall skin tone and texture over the course of 6-8 months. Patients can achieve desired and optimal results with 1-3 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart. The final results are getting back your youthful appearance.

The results have been shown to last upwards of 2-years in clinical trials. Upkeep treatments may be necessary as the skin continues to age. These treatments can safely be done on a bi-annual basis or as needed to keep skin looking young and fresh.

No. We don't use numbing agents as it is not required with our treatment prototcols.

​

How many sessions of RF Micro needling do I need?

We recommend 3-5 sessions done at one month intervals for best results.

​

Does it work for acne scars and facial pores? Will the results be visible immediately?

Every client’s skin unique, and as such, results and time scales may vary. As a reference, after your first treatment, you should start to see improvements in skin texture and tone. However, it takes time for production of new collagen to form so it may take longer to see significant changes for acne scars and pores. After the completion of all sessions suggested by our professional team, an obvious improvement will start to show.

​

Is there down time with RF Micro needling?

Downtime is minimal. You may return to your normal routine post treatment. A mild sunburn feeling is common. After treatment the skin may look a little flushed for a short period of time. This treatment is a minimally-invasive procedure that doesn’t require any real downtime. In most cases, you’ll be able to return to normal activities with minor side effects such as slight redness or swelling. Side effects typically subside within several hours. Sensitive areas like the under-eye can take several days to fully recover. Some patients opt to take a day or two before returning to social engagements. You must avoid the sun and wear a stand alone 30 SPF sunblock at all times. There is a relatively easy recovery and low risk associated with this procedure. We always encourage you to plan accordingly as some clients experience a greater reaction.
