Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a skin care treatment that goes beyond the abilities of traditional microneedling. During traditional microneedling, fine needles puncture the skin’s surface to create microchannels, making your skin more receptive to nutrient-rich products like serums and moisturizers.
At the same time, your skin heals the microchannels and improves in quality by restructuring with collagen and elastin.
RF microneedling enhances this process, and the results, by warming deep tissues using radiofrequency, a safe and gentle form of energy.
To enhance your treatment further, AdvancedMD Aesthetics of Atlanta also offers platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as an add-on option for radiofrequency microneedling. PRP is a substance full of growth factors that contain components from your blood.
RF microneedling improves irregularities with your skin tone and texture. You don’t have to limit the treatment to just your face, but most people choose to treat their facial skin with RF microneedling and similar skin care procedures.
RF microneedling treatments at AdvancedMD Aesthetics of Atlanta can minimize these typical irregularities:
To give you the best possible results from microneedling, Dr. Rheaume assesses your skin health during a consultation and makes sure you don’t have any active infections. She also makes sure you have a realistic idea of what your results will be.
After your RF microneedling procedure, your skin is a bit red; you might also have some light bleeding and bruising. Yet, the healing time is short, and you can get back to your normal activities within a day.
To reduce redness and other light side effects, Dr. Rheaume may recommend:
Since one of the main effects of RF microneedling is stimulating collagen growth, it takes some time to see the full effect of your treatments.
You can expect to see optimal results 3-6 months after your first RF microneedling treatment at AdvancedMD Aesthetics of Atlanta. After that, most people need between three and six RF microneedling sessions.
