For some, achieving flawless skin might seem impossible. However, at The Face Place in Baton Rouge, LA, radiofrequency (RF) microneedling can be helpful for many common skin concerns. This treatment can reduce scars, hyperpigmentation, and large pores while bringing out your skin’s natural vibrancy. Because our practice centers around our patients, we are happy to offer non-invasive options that provide real results.
RF microneedling uses a device that contains both microneedling technology and radiofrequency technology for enhanced skin rejuvenation. The combination of methods can improve signs of aging, boost the skin’s health, and improve its texture, all in a quick and easy appointment.
In radiofrequency microneedling, ultra-fine needles penetrate the skin to create controlled microchannels. These sterile microneedles reach precise depths that can be adjusted depending on the area being treated and the patient’s concerns. The creation of the little perforations in the skin causes the body to begin a healing process that not only heals the microchannels but also heals the surrounding skin.
RF microneedling incorporates radiofrequency energy to amplify the benefits of traditional microneedling. As the microneedles create the microchannels, radiofrequency energy is delivered directly into the underlying layers of the skin. This thermal energy heats the tissue and promotes further benefits such as a noticeable improvement in skin firmness, elasticity, and overall rejuvenation.
The skin is constantly renewing itself through a process called cellular turnover. Dead skin cells shed from the surface, making way for new cells generated in the deeper layers. This process slows down as you age, leading to dullness and uneven texture. Treatments like RF microneedling can help stimulate and accelerate this natural renewal and promote healthier, fresher skin.
Collagen and elastin are two proteins found in the body that maintain the skin’s structure and elasticity. Collagen provides firmness and strength, while elastin allows your skin to stretch and bounce back. As you age, collagen production decreases by about 1% per year and elastin fibers gradually lose their resilience. This reduction contributes to wrinkles and sagging skin. Boosting these proteins can help keep your skin looking youthful and vibrant.
Scars and hyperpigmentation occur when the skin undergoes trauma or inflammation, such as acne or sun damage. The skin’s natural healing process can be slow and incomplete, leaving behind marks and discoloration. RF microneedling can enhance the skin’s ability to repair itself by stimulating new tissue growth and reducing the appearance of these imperfections.
Large pores are primarily caused by genetics, excessive oil production, and aging. While it’s not possible to shrink the actual pores permanently, treatments can help reduce their appearance. By promoting collagen production and improving skin texture, RF microneedling can make pores look less noticeable and give the skin a smoother, more refined appearance.
A healthy glow is often a sign of well-hydrated, well-nourished skin. Good blood circulation and a balanced oil production contribute to this radiance. Treatments that enhance skin renewal, improve product absorption, and boost collagen can help maintain this glow.
The skin barrier protects against environmental damage and retains moisture. A compromised barrier can lead to dryness, irritation, and increased sensitivity. Maintaining a strong skin barrier promotes skin health by keeping harmful substances out and essential moisture in.
RF microneedling treatments enhance your skin on multiple levels. The treatment contracts existing collagen fibers, giving an immediate tightening effect. Over time, it stimulates new collagen production, improving skin’s firmness and elasticity. By boosting skin cell turnover, it helps to refresh and renew the skin’s surface. The microchannels created during microneedling also allow for better absorption of topical products during and after the treatment, making them more effective.
Before your microneedling and radiofrequency treatment, we will encourage you to avoid sun exposure and discontinue the use of any harsh skincare products a few days prior. During the treatment, you may experience mild discomfort such as a scratching or prickling sensation and some warmth, but a numbing cream is typically applied to minimize this.
After treatment, your skin might appear red and feel sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. Keep your skin hydrated and protected from the sun as it heals to get the best results from your microneedling treatment.
RF microneedling can improve your skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. By promoting collagen production and enhancing skin renewal, it can cause your skin to glow again.
