How does RF microneedling work?

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a treatment that can assist your skin with healing, collagen growth, and elastin growth. Microneedling involves creating tiny channels in your skin using fine, uniform needles. Your skin then heals these holes naturally by producing more collagen, a structural protein. 

RF microneedling uses the traditional microneedling technique while applying gentle RF energy. Radiofrequency warms your skin to enhance the tightening and firming effect, resulting in fewer lines and wrinkles. 

After your microneedling procedure at Lone Star State Dermatology Clinic, you can anticipate some pinpoint bleeding, redness, and bruising. These side effects subside within a day as long as you follow the team’s aftercare instructions. They advise you to protect your skin from the sun and avoid harsh skin care products. 

What are the benefits of RF microneedling? 

Radiofrequency microneedling offers a plethora of benefits to people with lax, loose, and tired skin. If the aging process has affected how your skin looks or feels, RF microneedling is an excellent choice for rejuvenating treatment. Some of its advantages are:

• Smoother skin
• Brighter skin
• More collagen for firmness
• More elastin for tightness
• Improved tone and texture
• Fewer wrinkles and lines
• Smaller pores
• Fewer dark spots
• Fewer scars and stretch marks

You can use RF microneedling on your face or body, depending on your primary goals and concerns. This treatment is an excellent option for improving skin elasticity after a facelift or body lift surgery. 

How many RF microneedling treatments should I get?

The Lone Star State Dermatology Clinic team works closely with you to establish your goals and review your skin type. Based on their assessment, they can determine the number of treatments you need for optimal skin enhancement. 

On average, most people get three to four microneedling treatments spaced about one month apart. 

If you want to further enhance your results, consider combining microneedling with other cosmetic skin treatments at Lone Star State Dermatology Clinic. In addition to RF microneedling, the team specializes in platelet-rich plasma (PRP), injectables like Botox®, laser treatments, and chemical peels.
