    Frequently asked questions

    What is RF Microneedling?

    Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin while delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis. This dual-action approach stimulates the body’s natural healing process, promoting intense collagen and elastin production. Unlike traditional microneedling, which solely relies on needle-induced micro-injuries, RF microneedling amplifies the results by incorporating RF energy to enhance skin tightening and rejuvenation. This treatment is effective for various skin concerns, including acne, signs of aging, and uneven skin texture. While the face is the most common treatment area, radiofrequency microneedling can also be used on the neck, abdomen, knees, and thighs.

    Why RF Microneedling Is Better Than Regular Microneedling?

    Traditional microneedling involves creating tiny punctures through microneedles in the skin to trigger the body’s healing response, resulting in the production of new collagen and elastin. This method is excellent for subtle rejuvenation and improved skin texture. However, RF microneedling takes it a step further by adding radiofrequency energy to the process. The radiofrequency energy is delivered through the needles as they create micro-wounds in the dermis, enhancing collagen and elastin production, and providing more noticeable and long-lasting results. The heat generated by the RF energy also aids in skin contraction, tightening and lifting making it a more comprehensive treatment for various skin issues.

    What Does RF Microneedling Treat?

    Radiofreqency microneedling is a versatile treatment that can address a wide range of skin concerns, including:

    • Fine lines and deep wrinkles
    • Uneven skin texture
    • Skin tone or pigmentation issues
    • Enlarged pores
    • All types of acne scars
    • Stretch marks
    • Droopy and lax skin
    What Are the Benefits of RF Microneedling?

    Radiofrequency microneedling offers a multitude of benefits, making it a premier choice for skin rejuvenation and overall skin health. This advanced treatment stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins that help maintain a youthful and firm complexion.

    One of the standout features of RF microneedling is its stronger, more intense, and longer-lasting effects compared to traditional microneedling. The addition of radiofrequency energy enhances the treatment’s efficacy, providing deeper and more substantial results.

    RF microneedling not only improves skin texture and complexion but also promotes significant skin tightening and lifting. This makes it an excellent option for those looking to combat skin laxity and achieve a more youthful appearance.

    Additionally, RF microneedling can remodel subdermal fat at a deeper level, allowing for facial and body contouring. This unique capability enables the treatment to address areas beyond superficial skin concerns, offering more comprehensive rejuvenation and contouring benefits.

    What Should I Expect During an RF Microneedling Treatment?

    An RF microneedling treatment session is designed to be both quick and convenient, typically lasting between 30 to 50 minutes depending on the area being treated and the specific skin condition. 

    Upon arrival, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any impurities and prevent infection, ensuring a clean and safe environment for the treatment. A topical anesthetic is then applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, with the numbing cream taking about 15-20 minutes to take full effect.

    Dr. Schwarzburg will use the RF microneedling device to create precise micro-wounds in the skin while simultaneously delivering RF energy. The depth and intensity of the needles are adjusted based on your specific skin concerns, whether it’s for collagen stimulation, skin tightening, or subdermal fat remodeling.

    Once the treatment is complete, an ointment or serum is applied to the treated area to support cell regeneration and enhance the overall results. This final step helps soothe the skin and kickstarts the healing process.

    What Is The Aftercare Following The Treatment?

    After the session, you can immediately return to your normal activities, although you may experience some mild side effects such as dryness, scaling, swelling, redness, or cold sores. These effects are typically short-lived and subside within a few days. Over the next 3 to 4 months, as collagen and elastin production continues, you will notice significant improvements in your skin’s appearance, leading to a more youthful, rejuvenated complexion.
