Radiofrequency microneeding is a technique that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat tissue and stimulate subdermal collagen production in order to reduce the appearance of fine lines and loose skin. The technique induces tissue remodeling and production of new collagen and elastin in the skin, resulting in smoother and tighter skin.
RF microneedling is an effective treatment for acne scarring as well as a good alternative to surgery in those looking to achieve improved skin elasticity. The treatment uses a hand piece containing a tip that has 49 sterile needles that pass into the skin at controlled depths to deliver energy to tissues within the different layers of the skin, including the deep dermis.
It can be used to target specific areas and concerns including:
- Acne scarring
- Marionette lines
- Eyebrows
- Neck
- Decolletage
- Chin and jawline
- Stomach
- Thighs
How does it work?
The stainless steel needle tips on the disposable microneedling treatment head, accurately penetrate the skin to a specified depth.
Energy is then discharged from the needle tips at this depth. The needle penetration causes a wound in the skin, which as it heals will encourage collagen formation, and the energy release stimulates coagulation which manifests as skin tightening.
Treatment modalities using Ultracel2: triple modality skin tightening machine
What does the treatment involve?
Radiofrequency microneedling can be uncomfortable, so local anaesthetic cream is applied to your skin prior to treatment.
Immediately after treatment your skin will be flushed. There will be redness and potentially small pinpoint bleeding. This usually settles within a few hours. You will not be able to wear makeup for 24 hours until the skin has settled.
You will be given instructions on how to look after your skin in the days following treatment and a follow up will be arranged for review.
How long do results last?
It can take a few weeks for results to become visible as time is needed for collagen stimulation within the skin. However, results can last for several months especially when treatment is combined with quality skincare products. You may need repeat treatment after 8 weeks if it is felt that more improvement can be achieved.
However, combination therapy with other modalities from the ULTRACEL2 device is recommended for optimizing treatment results.
