FAQ
If you have loose facial skin, poor skin texture, and fine lines, it’s time to do something about these concerns. Combining channeling and radiofrequency energy is one of the best ways to treat signs of aging and feel more confident in your skin. This treatment is a newer, go-to non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedure that does it all! It is being used around the world to help people tighten, lift and plump skin, reduce wrinkles, shrink pores and get rid of acne scars and other blemishes on your face and other parts of the body.
A cluster of thin fine needles penetrate into the skin at the appropriate collagen stimulation depth for that area. The radiofrequency energy is then released into the skin layer. Channeling with RF works by causing direct deep stimulation into the skin . This induces production of more collagen.
Through the action of the micro-needles, a thermal injury is created with tiny columns. This injury causes the body to react and kick into a healing mode. This in turn brings collagen production.
Depending on the patient’s skin laxity and issues, we will select an appropriate depth of penetration.and it can vary from .5mm to 4.0mm deep.
Treatment causes a natural response to produce new collagen-rich tissue. Generation of new collagen-rich tissue tightens skin, reduces scars, wrinkles, stretch marks and fine lines in the skin. This thus improves the overall texture and appearance of your skin.
If you suffer from acne, RF Microneedling can also reduce oil production in your skin by shrinking the sebaceous gland. Texture, pores and scars can also be improved. This is a great benefit to active acne and acne scars.
Usually, a RF Microneedling procedure can show results as soon as a few days, but further results develop as your body begins to produce collagen.
The tightening effect and final results are going to appear gradually over six months – which is the time taken by the skin to fully rebuild itself.
To maximize on achieving a full face collagen restoration and rebuilding effect we suggest a customized treatment plan which included 6 to 8 RF Microneedling sessions.
Result will evolve over a few days or weeks as skin refreshes and rejuvenates. The results can persist for up to five years, and treatments can be performed monthly, although the timing of repeat treatments will be unique to each individual.
RF Microneedling (Morpheus8) Addresses more than wrinkles and lines. Less invasive. Fewer side effects.
Compared to regular microneedling, RF microneedling is able to address deeper layers of the skin without creating significant damage to the top layers of the skin. This is due to the RF energy being delivered past the tip of each needle to deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin.
Patients may notice a warm sensation and a pricking or scraping feeling during this treatment, but it is not typically painful. Following the treatment, it is normal to have some level of redness, swelling, irritation, and mild discomfort, but these symptoms usually resolve quickly on their own.
When the dermal filler wears off, your skin reverts to its original appearance or drops some of its former elasticity. On the other hand, RF Microneedling (Morpheus8) works with a patient’s natural growth factors to strengthen & add volume to the skin so that it can keep improving over time.
You’ll need more than one treatment to see full results. Most people need anywhere from three to six sessions, with one session done about every three to four weeks.
It has all of the benefits of traditional microneedling, plus skin tightening and additional collagen production. The RF energy delivered deep into the skin produces faster, more dramatic results over traditional microneedling.
Treatment can reach depths of 3.5 mm, whereas lasers usually reach about 1.5 mm. That means RF microneedling is more effective for deep scars. It also requires less downtime than laser scar removal. The RF micro needling bypasses the surface layers of the skin, leaving only tiny punctures.
It creates microscopic wounds on the surface of your skin. This causes your body to deploy a healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. As a result, you may see your skin appear fresher, younger, and smoother.
If the jowls are just beginning to lose elasticity, then this treatment may reduce the appearance of this and slow the overall progression of the sagging. This is because it induces a collagen response on both the surface and structural portions of the skin.
It can be an effective treatment option for fine lines, under-eye bags, puffiness, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and even stretch marks.
This triggers your body’s wound healing processes to heal your micro wounds immediately. However, the most dramatic results will not be visible until four to six weeks after treatment. It takes roughly this long for your body to create new, strong, healthy collagen.
