Radiofrequency Microneedling Skin Resurfacing Treatments

Radiofrequency Microneedling – like Morpheus8 RF microneedling – uses a device that delivers radiofrequency energy through tiny needles into the skin, creating micro-injuries. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, producing new collagen and elastin, which tightens and firms the skin.

The procedure resurfaces the skin by stimulating cell regeneration, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and improving skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.

The benefits of Radiofrequency Microneedling over other skin resurfacing treatments include:

1. Minimal downtime: Unlike laser or chemical peels, RF microneedling requires minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment.
2. Non-invasive: RF microneedling is a non-invasive procedure that does not remove the top layer of skin, making it suitable for people with sensitive skin.
3. Safe for all skin types: Unlike laser treatments, RF microneedling can be safely performed on all skin types, including dark or tanned skin.
4. Effective for multiple skin concerns: RF microneedling can effectively treat a wide range of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin texture, and hyperpigmentation.
5. Long-lasting results: The results of RF microneedling can last for several months, making it a cost-effective option for maintaining youthful-looking skin.
6. Little to no pain: RF microneedling is performed with a topical numbing cream, making the procedure comfortable and pain-free for most people.

Radiofrequency Microneedling skin resurfacing treatments may not be right for every patient. Contraindications, for use include:

1. Active skin infections or inflammation
2. Autoimmune disorders
3. History of keloid scarring
4. Recent use of isotretinoin (within 6 months)
5. Pregnancy or breastfeeding
6. Pacemaker or another implanted electrical device
7. History of skin cancer or precancerous lesion
8. Severe dermatitis or eczema
9. Active herpes simplex outbreaks
10. Blood clotting disorders or taking blood-thinning medications.
