Microneedling - also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) - is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a device to stimulate your OWN body to produce collagen and elastin. It is a natural, safe, and effective procedure for ALL skin types, regardless of pigmentation.
Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling takes this procedure to another level! RF treatments have been around for many years and have been used in the cosmetic industry for tightening the skin. RF Microneedling utilizes heat to stimulate collagen production deep under the top layers of skin, maximizing the results of the microneedling treatment.
Well, get ready to say good-bye to that due to collagenesis. This is from new collagen fibers being created which thicken the skin, fills in the scarring, and reveals new fresh skin.
This healing process also stimulates the rapid growth of endothelial cells. These are the cells which line capillaries and blood vessels. This means new capillaries are created and your skin gets an increase of fresh blood supply! This part of the process is called angiogenesis.
Because the needles are SO very fine and thin, tissue damage is extremely unlikely. Your skin integrity will actually remain intact even though it acts like it is injured. Infections are rare as
no skin tissue breakage can even be detected.
The microneedling device looks a bit like a shaving razor with a drum! The drum is embedded with hundreds of super fine micro-needles that penetrate the skin. The depth and density of these micro injuries can be adjusted based on your skin’s needs and based on which areas are being treated.
The “controlled injury” below the skin’s surface will trigger an inflammatory reaction that has a brilliant domino effect. The nerve receptors, and the corresponding defense mechanism, sense these subtle micro-wounds. In response, the process of healing begins.
The skin cells -in a tiny radius around the puncture ‘wound’- signal to the skin stem cells which in turn stimulates the rapid growth of new fibroblasts and other wound-repairing cells. Included is the newly produced collagen and elastin!
You are now free to resume your daily activities after treatment, just holding off on strenuous activities that cause excessive sweating for 24-48 hours.
Our medical professional will apply a numbing cream to the treatment area, pausing to allow it to take effect. The microneedling device will be rolled across the treatment area, following a specific pattern, and puncturing the skin. Each fine needle pierces the skin, creating an impreceptible micro-wound.
While it is not a painful procedure, some patients do find some irritation and discomfort from the prickling sensation that comes from the very fine needles.
Cold compresses or numbing creams can be helpful in mitigating that discomfort. Feel free to ask your provider!
Absolutely! It is true that some procedures are not great for certain pigments of skin. However, RF Microneedling is suitable for all different types of skin, including darker skin tones!
Every patient's experience may be a bit different, however, the majority of our patients see noticable changes after their first treatment!
On average, 3 treatments are suggested in order to see the best results from your Microneedling procedure.
