Radio Frequency Microneedling
In the ever-evolving realm of aesthetics, innovative treatments are constantly emerging to help us achieve our skin goals. One such ground breaking technology is Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling, a cutting-edge procedure that combines the benefits of traditional microneedling with the power of radiofrequency energy, taking skin rejuvenation to new heights.
What is Radio Frequency Microneedling?
Radio Frequency Microneedling, also known as RF Microneedling or Fractional RF, is a minimally invasive treatment that utilises a device with tiny, insulated needles to deliver controlled radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin. This energy creates heat, which stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in tighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. Here in clinic we use the Lynton Focus Dual
How Does RF Microneedling Work?
The Focus Dual device features a series of ultra-fine needles that penetrate the skin's surface, creating microscopic channels. As the needles are insulated, the radiofrequency energy is delivered precisely into the deeper layers of the skin, where it generates controlled heat. This heat triggers the body's natural healing response, prompting the production of new collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity.
The Difference Between RF Microneedling and Standard Microneedling
While both RF Microneedling and traditional Microneedling involve the use of tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, the addition of radiofrequency energy in RF Microneedling sets it apart and offers several advantages:
Deeper penetration: The radiofrequency energy allows the treatment to target deeper layers of the skin, where collagen and elastin production occurs, leading to more significant and longer-lasting results.
Tightening effect: The heat generated by the radiofrequency energy helps to tighten and firm the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging.
Enhanced collagen production: RF Microneedling stimulates increased collagen and elastin production compared to standard microneedling, resulting in more noticeable improvements in skin texture and tone.
Versatility: RF Microneedling can be used to address a wide range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture, making it a versatile treatment option.
Benefits of RF Microneedling
RF Microneedling offers a multitude of benefits for individuals seeking to revitalise and rejuvenate their skin:
Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Improves skin texture and tone
Minimises acne scars and hyperpigmentation
Tightens and firms the skin
Enhances collagen and elastin production
Promotes a more youthful, radiant complexion
What to Expect During an RF Microneedling
Following consultation, consent and pre treatment photos, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and prepared for the treatment. A topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Once the treatment area is numbed, the RF Microneedling device will be gently moved across the skin, delivering controlled radiofrequency energy and creating microscopic channels.
Results and Aftercare
The results of RF Microneedling are not immediate, as the skin needs time to respond to the controlled heat and initiate the collagen and elastin production process. Most individuals notice a gradual improvement in their skin's texture, tone, and overall radiance within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over the following months.
To optimise the results, it is recommended to undergo a series of RF Microneedling treatments, typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The number of treatments required will depend on your specific skin concerns and desired outcome but a minimum of 3 is recommended
After each treatment, it is essential to follow proper aftercare instructions, such as avoiding direct sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, and staying hydrated.
Cost of RF Microneedling Treatments
The cost of RF Microneedling treatments can vary depending on the he extent of the treatment area. Generally, prices range from £195 to £695 per session from eyes to full face and neck. Packages for multiple sessions are available at a discounted rate.
Do RF Microneedling Treatments Hurt?
While some minor discomfort or redness may occur during the treatment, it is generally well-tolerated. After the procedure, your skin may appear flushed, but this redness typically subsides within a day or two.
