RF microneedling offers more than just a short-term enhancement. This treatment can help your skin appear more youthful and fresh for many months by leveraging your body’s natural rejuvenation processes.
As time progresses, the effects of RF microneedling become more apparent, providing a gradual enhancement to the aesthetic of your skin. At Mynx Aesthetik, we believe in the power of natural beauty and stimulating your body’s own healing abilities to improve skin health. Our patients in Tacoma, WA, can expect to see continued improvements in their skin’s appearance as the treatment encourages the production of collagen and elastin.
What Is RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling combines traditional microneedling techniques with radiofrequency energy to enhance skin rejuvenation. This process involves penetrating the skin with tiny needles while simultaneously delivering thermal energy. This helps to stimulate the skin’s natural healing processes and leads to improved skin texture and firmness.
Why Potenza RF?
Potenza RF takes the concept of radiofrequency microneedling a step further by using an advanced system that allows for precise depth control and more uniform energy distribution. Energy is delivered efficiently to various depths, optimizing treatment effectiveness for a range of skin concerns. It is particularly effective for those looking to address signs of aging, scars, and skin laxity.
How RF Needling Improves Skin Health
Microneedling with RF is renowned for its ability to initiate collagen induction therapy, where the skin responds to microchannels by producing new collagen and elastin fibers. The addition of radiofrequency energy enhances this process, providing heat that stimulates further collagen production under the skin. Over time, RF needling can lead to cumulative benefits, including increased skin elasticity, smoother texture, and a more radiant appearance, as these enhancements build upon each other with each session.
The RF Microneedling Treatment Process
The RF microneedling session starts with a deep cleansing to make sure the skin is free of impurities, followed by an application of numbing cream to provide comfort throughout the treatment. The device is then used on the skin in small sections. Patients typically feel a slight scratching and warmth, a sensation that is generally well-tolerated thanks to the numbing preparation. Then, serums or other topical products are applied to further nourish and protect your skin.
The Importance of Our AnteAGE Serum
One product that we apply after RF microneedling is AnteAGE Serum, which enhances the healing process and maximizes the rejuvenative effects of the treatment. This serum is rich in growth factors and cytokines, which help to soothe the skin and promote cellular renewal.
Immediate Post-Treatment Care
After an RF microneedling treatment, it is important to protect the skin from sun exposure and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Patients are advised to avoid makeup, exfoliation, and intense exercise for 24 hours to allow the skin to start healing without interruption.
Healing Process and Skin Changes
Week 1
In the first week following microneedling with RF, patients typically experience mild redness and slight swelling as the skin begins its natural healing process. The microchannels made by the needles activate the skin’s repair mechanisms, which may cause the treated area to feel tender. Keep the skin hydrated and follow a gentle skincare routine during this initial phase.
Weeks 2-4
As the skin enters the second to fourth week post-treatment, you will notice the redness and swelling diminish. During this period, the deeper layers of the skin continue to heal, leading to visible improvements in skin texture and elasticity. Patients may start to see a reduction in fine lines and a more even skin tone as collagen production ramps up.
Months 1-3
Between the first and third month after undergoing radiofrequency microneedling, patients typically observe more pronounced changes. The skin becomes firmer and more radiant as the new collagen supports the existing skin structure. This phase is essential for seeing the full benefits of the treatment, as the skin’s surface becomes smoother and more refined.
Months 3-6
By this point, you may begin to see your final results. Collagen production and skin remodeling contribute to a reduction in deeper wrinkles and scars. The long-term effects of your RF microneedling treatment can showcase a rejuvenated and youthful complexion. By this point, you also may have undergone additional treatments, which can improve your results even more.
Maintenance and Follow-Up Treatments
- Initial Follow-Up: A follow-up session is often recommended four to six weeks after the initial treatment to assess the skin’s response and to treat the skin again.
- Routine Maintenance: For some people, ongoing maintenance sessions are advised every four to six months, depending on individual skin conditions and goals. These regular treatments help sustain the improvements in skin texture and firmness.
- Tailored Treatment Plans: Each patient’s treatment frequency can vary based on their skin. We work with patients to develop a customized plan that maximizes the benefits of RF microneedling.
- At-Home Care: Incorporating a supportive skincare routine at home is important for maximizing treatment results. The use of gentle, hydrating products and daily sun protection can extend the benefits of the microneedling and radiofrequency treatments.
