For many patients, signs of aging are synonymous with facial plastic surgery. Although this might once have been the case, there are more non-surgical alternatives than ever to combat aging skin before it even sets in. One effective option that offers a handful of benefits is RF microneedling.

What is RF Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment technique (also known as collagen induction therapy) that uses tiny needles to generate micro-wounds in the skin using a stamping or dermarolling handpiece. This process will jumpstart the skin’s natural wound-healing processes and stimulate collagen production Infini™ RF (radio-frequency) microneedling takes this one step further by administering radio-frequency waves within the deep layers of the skin to cause collagen contraction by generating gentle heat. Over time, this process can firm and tighten the skin while boosting cell turnover and reducing the appearance of many different skin concerns.

Candidates for RF Microneedling

Patients who benefit most from RF microneedling in Atlanta are those who are looking for effective, non-surgical options for skin tightening and surface concerns like acne scars and uneven skin texture and skin tone. It is a suitable treatment for all skin types. This treatment can be used on many different areas of the face and body where aging signs and skin laxity are common, like the jawline, chest and décolleté, upper arms, and midface.

RF Microneedling Procedure

This procedure can be performed with the use of a topical numbing cream so that you’re comfortable and relaxed. The specialized handpiece is carefully applied to your treatment area so that it can create tiny channels in the skin and access the deep layers for targeted RF treatment. Afterward, serums with active ingredients can be applied to further address your concerns. Then, you can return home.

RF Microneedling Results and Maintenance

RF microneedling works best as a series of treatments to fully address your skin concerns. However, you can return for maintenance treatments as needed. You can expect to see your full results emerge at around two months after treatment, but you’ll see a noticeable improvement in your skin’s quality after one or two weeks. There’s no downtime required with this treatment, so you can return to your regular schedule immediately. It’s extremely important to avoid sun exposure, so be sure to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen for the first few days after treatment. Our skincare experts can recommend the right physician-grade products to use at home to maintain your results, as well as additional treatments to augment your new look.

What is microneedling?

It's a procedure involving a device with extremely fine needles that produces very tiny punctures in the skin. This triggers the body to fill these microscopically small punctures by producing new collagen and elastin, which are natural proteins that keep skin elastic, plump and youthful.

Does microneedling hurt?

These controlled punctures are extremely small and any discomfort is minimal and can be reduced with some topical numbing cream. Microneedling is performed in the office and there is no down time after a treatment. If any redness occurs immediately after microneedling, it usually subsides by the next day.

How does microneedling work?

A micro-needling device creates extremely tiny wounds. The body reacts by producing new collagen, elastin and capillaries in the skin u2013 resulting in rejuvenated, firmer skin with improved texture and fewer wrinkles.

What are the benefits?

In addition to helping firm facial contours, microneedling may improve skin texture and firmness and reduce wrinkles and pore size.

How does the microneedling procedure work? What areas of my skin can it improve?
