RF Microneedling

What is RF Microneedling?

RF microneedling or radiofrequency microneedling, is a treatment that uses radio frequency waves.

These snazzy high-tech needles release radio frequency into the dermis of the skin, heating the cells up to rejuvenate the skin.

It stimulates collagen production and tightening of the skin. It treats skin laxity, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and stretch marks, effectively.

This procedure is also referred to as Microneedling RF or fractional radio frequency. It is safe to use on both face and body.

What are Post-care Plans for RF Microneedling?

Post-care plans for RF Microneedling are essential to promote proper healing and maximize the procedure’s results. Here are some key post-care considerations:

• Refrain from picking or scratching at the treated area, as this can lead to infection, scarring, or other complications. Allow the skin to heal naturally.
• To alleviate discomfort, use ice packs on the treated area.
• Pinpoint bleeding during treatment is normal, but post-treatment bleeding is rare. If it occurs, gently dab it with clean cotton pads to stop bleeding.
• You can resume using makeup, shaving, and showering the day after treatment. Applying a moisturizing mask pack or spray can help reduce swelling.
• Avoid alcohol-based cosmetics for at least 2 days. Remember to moisturize frequently.
• For 1 to 2 days after treatment, avoid vigorous activity, exercise, and sauna.
• When outdoors, apply a UV-A/B sunblock with an SPF of 25+ and avoid direct sun exposure. If unavoidable, use SPF 35 to 50, as UV exposure may lead to hyperpigmentation.

Adhering to the post-care instructions provided by our healthcare professional provides is crucial for optimal recovery and results. Every individual may have specific requirements, so following our guidance is essential to ensure the best outcomes.
