Are you struggling with acne scars and looking for an effective treatment? Microneedling RF can offer you an advanced solution with lasting results.
This innovative procedure can reduce acne scars in just 12 to 16 weeks, delivering noticeable improvement in skin smoothness and healthy appearance. Let’s dive into how this treatment works and what you can expect.
What is RF Microneedling Treatment?
Microneedling RF involves using tiny needles to penetrate the skin, creating micro-injuries that trigger the body’s natural healing process.
The added RF energy heats the deeper tissue, further stimulating collagen production and remodeling the skin from within.
The unique dual-action approach makes RF microneedling particularly effective for treating acne scars and improving your overall skin condition.
How Radiofrequency Microneedling Treats Acne Scars
RF microneedling is a minimally-invasive treatment that doesn’t deliver skin resurfacing in the same way as laser. The controlled damage, however, results in a process called collagen induction at the deeper dermal layers.
As new collagen is being formed on the inside, damaged skin on the surface eventually sloughs away and becomes replaced with healthy new skin cells.
Over the course of 3-4 sessions spaced four weeks apart, this treatment can significantly reduce the appearance of acne scars, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin.
The Procedure: What to Expect
During your initial consultation at Nuance Medispa, we’ll discuss your skin concerns and aesthetic goals. Before the procedure begins, we’ll apply a numbing cream to ensure your comfort.
During treatment, a handpiece equipped with tiny needles will deploy into your skin, delivering a brief pulse of RF energy. The entire surface area of your face will be treated and afterward your skin will be soothed with a cooling gel or lotion.
The RF microneedling treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes (not including numbing time), depending on the area being treated.
You’ll be provided with detailed post-care instructions, which may include not using harsh skincare products for the next week and to apply sunscreen diligently.
Benefits of RF Microneedling
Reduces Acne Scars:
This skin treatment is highly effective in reducing acne scars for most skin types by promoting collagen production and skin remodeling.
Improves Skin Texture:
Microneedling RF can also address other issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity, resulting in smoother, firmer skin.
Minimal Downtime:
The recovery time is minimal, with most patients experiencing only mild redness and swelling for a few days.
Results and Recovery
After each RF microneedling treatment, you may notice some initial redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically subsides within a few hours and continues to improve over the next few days. Your skin should be fully recovered after one week.
The full benefits of the treatment develop gradually over the next 12 to 16 weeks as your skin undergoes collagen and elastin production.
Most patients see significant improvements after a series of 3-4 sessions, with the best results visible at the 16-week mark. Your acne scars will appear much less prominent and you’ll notice overall facial rejuvenation.
Cost of Treatment
The cost of RF microneedling can vary depending on the number of sessions and the area being treated. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed breakdown of the microneedling cost and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Addressing Other Skin Concerns
RF microneedling isn’t just for acne scars. It can also treat a variety of skin concerns, including:
Wrinkles and Fine Lines: The treatment helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by promoting collagen production and skin tightening.
Skin Laxity: RF energy tightens and firms the skin, improving overall skin laxity.
Stretch Marks: The procedure can reduce the appearance of stretch marks, promoting smoother skin.
Sun Damage: RF microneedling can address sun damage and promote overall skin rejuvenation, giving you a more youthful appearance.
For all the above skin conditions, microneedling, especially combined with RF does wonders for the skin. However, there’s no debate that RF (radiofrequency energy) microneedling is a superior treatment.
Therefore, if you have loose skin that needs tightening, deep lines or scarring, then microneedling RF is your best option.
If you’re looking to treat fine lines and wrinkles or mild surface scarring, then microneedling with a derma roller at home can work. Keep in mind that multiple treatments will be required.
