How Does RF Microneedling Work?
Following a thorough cleansing of the skin’s surface and applying a topical anaesthetic, the microneedling equipment is gently placed against the affected area to generate several tiny micro-channels in the skin’s surface. RF microneedling uses the addition of an RF energy technology that is transferred through the tiny needles below the skin’s surface to the deep layers of tissue of the epidermis. The RF radiation heats the skin cells, which stimulates collagen growth and tightens the skin tissue.
The insertion of the microneedles into the skin results in the release of growth factors and the activation of the wound healing cascade, which promotes collagen formation and results in younger-looking skin. These needles assist in the mechanical breakdown of scar tissues. Recovery time is substantially quicker when compared to more intense laser resurfacing treatments or deep chemical peels as the epidermis is not destroyed. This is a standard procedure among all microneedling therapies.
