Radio Frequency Microneedling Information

What Is Radio Freequency Microneedling?

Radiofrequency microneedling is a cosmetic procedure. It uses tiny needles and radiofrequency waves to rejuvenate facial skin. The treatment is a form of controlled skin injury. The damage stimulates the growth of healthy new skin, which can benefit common skin issues like acne scars and wrinkles.

Why Do People Get Microneedling?

Microneedling is very effective in targeting:

  • fine lines
  • wrinkles
  • stretch marks
  • appearance of large pores
  • acne scars
  • scars from injury or surgery
  • hyperpigmentation
  • loose, sagging skin
  • cellulite
  • hyperhidrosis

What To Expect From Results

You’ll see results after 3 to 6 months. The exact time frame depends on the type and severity of your condition.

In most cases, you’ll need at least four sessions. This also depends on what you’re treating. For example, if you have moderate acne scars, you’ll need about three or four treatments. Bigger scars might need five treatments.

These sessions will be done every 3 to 8 weeks. This lets your skin heal between treatments.

After the initial set of treatments, the results will last about 1 year. It’s recommended to have a touch-up session once a year to maintain your desired results.

What Are The Side Effects Of Radiofrequency Microneedling?

Possible side effects include:

  • dryness
  • redness
  • scaling
  • itching
  • swelling
  • mild acne flare-up
  • cold sore breakout

These side effects might last for a few hours or days.

Some complications need medical attention. If you experience any of the following, contact your doctor:

  • allergic reaction to needles
  • signs of infection
  • persisting swelling or redness
  • prolonged bleeding
  • bruising
  • fatigue
  • headache

Who Shouldn't Have Radiofrequency Microneedling?

Microneedling can cause bleeding so it may not be suitable for people with clotting or bleeding disorders, or who take medicine to thin their blood. You may want to avoid microneedling if you have conditions that affect your skin, such as eczema or diabetes, or if you have a weakened immune system.

Although this treatment does not require the use of any chemicals, it is not recommended whilst pregnant or breastfeeding.
