Radiofrequency microneedling is a skincare treatment offered by many professional medical spas. If you are curious about how it works and what it may help with, it is worth asking about the next time you schedule an appointment with The Bliss Room.
The Power of Radiofrequency and Microneedling
The radiofrequency part of the treatment delivers controlled heat into the skin, which is intended to stimulate new collagen and may help the skin look firmer over time.
Radiofrequency microneedling may help improve the look of common skin concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles,, and uneven texture. Your provider will discuss whether it is appropriate for your goals.
Benefit #1: An Option for Many Skin Types
Radiofrequency microneedling can be an option for many skin types. Because the radiofrequency energy does not target skin pigment the way some lasers do, it may be considered for patients with darker skin after a consultation. The needle depth and energy level can also be adjusted to each client’s skin and goals.
Benefit #2: Treat a Wide Range of Skin Concerns
Radiofrequency microneedling may be a good fit for patients who would like to:
- Improve skin tone
- Refine the look of uneven skin texture
- Help soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Benefit #3: Gradual Results Over Time
Treatment uses ultrafine needles that enter the skin and deliver radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers and trigger a healing response. This response is designed to encourage the production of collagen and elastin.
Some clients notice a change after one session, although results vary from person to person. A series of sessions is often recommended, and your provider will suggest a number based on your skin. Improvement typically develops gradually in the weeks after the final session.
Benefit #4: Short Recovery for Many Patients
Many clients have questions about side effects and discomfort. Radiofrequency microneedling involves little to no downtime for many patients, though redness, swelling, and sensitivity are possible after the procedure. Numbing options are available.
Our providers adjust the settings on the microneedling device for each client’s skin, with the aim of balancing results and comfort. At The Bliss Room, we see clients with many different skin types and concerns, including fine lines and uneven skin tone. Your provider will talk with you about whether radiofrequency microneedling fits your goals.
Benefit #5: Adjustable Treatment Depth
Our providers use a radiofrequency microneedling device with ultrafine needles that enter the skin and heat the tissue underneath. The needle depth can be adjusted so that treatment can reach different layers of the skin during one session.
The goal is skin that looks smoother and more refreshed, although individual results vary with skin type and concerns.
