Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling FAQ’s

What is Radiofrequency Micro-needling (RFM)?

A cosmetic procedure employs radiofrequency radiation and small needles to regenerate skin. Unlike injectable therapies, this process stimulates your body's natural healing ability to yield remarkable outcomes. It's an effective method for treating a number of problems, including wrinkles and acne scars, and for promoting the formation of new, healthy skin. In general, it's a great choice with enduring effects. Additionally, the process is brief and requires little to no recuperation time.

What should I prepare before my session?

It is ideal to stop any medication that causes bleeding in addition anti-inflammatory medications such as (Ibuprofen, Advil, Aspirin) 1 week prior to treatment.

Stop any peeling, whitening creams, products containing salicylic acid and retin-A 5 days before your session.

If you have a history of cold sores you need to take anti-viral medication the day of your procedure and continue for 5 days.

What can I expect after my session?

Side effects of RFM are minimum and sometimes none, discomfort, redness, moderate bruising and mild localized bleeding might occur post-session. Any redness or discomfort subside 1 day after procedure. Your skin will be quite sensitive during the next two to three days, so you should limit your face washing to light cleanser and using sunscreen is mandatory.

Your doctor will give you some off-counter medications to help you recover faster.
While some patients see results from RF micro-needling immediately away, however, you might need three or four sessions to get the best effects. This is because it takes time for your body to tighten and generate collagen. The rejuvenation process normally takes six months to reach its height, and the effects continue for at least twelve to eighteen months.

When can I repeat my session?

6-8 weeks intervals.

What are the benefits of RFM?

Radiofrequency micro-needling can help with a variety of skin problems which bring back your face's natural glow. It can help decreasing wrinkles, tightening loose skin, improve skin texture, minimize pores and stimulate collagen. After the treatment, there is minimal to no recovery time and you should be back to your regular schedule in a day or two.
