Microneedling Radiofrequency

What is radiofrequency microneedling?

Radiofrequency microneedling is a nonsurgical treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to dramatically tighten and smooth your skin.

Microneedling involves creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries in your skin using fine needles. This process stimulates your body's natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production, which helps improve skin texture and tone. 

Radiofrequency energy then passes through the microneedles, further stimulating deeper layers of your skin.

Which skin concerns can radiofrequency microneedling address?

DYnaSkin MedSpa uses the Pixel8-RF device to target a wide range of skin concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin tone or texture
• Skin laxity
• Hyperpigmentation
• Stretch marks

If you want a healthy, radiant glow with minimal downtime, radiofrequency microneedling is an excellent choice.

How can I prepare for radiofrequency microneedling?

Here are a few precautions to take to ensure optimal results and minimal discomfort with radiofrequency microneedling:

• Disclose any medical conditions, allergies, recent treatments, or medications (including Accutane®, Retin-A, and more)
• Stop using Accutane at least 6 months before treatment
• Avoid sun exposure, tanning products, and irritating skincare for 1-2 weeks before the procedure
• Steer clear of blood-thinning pain medications (Advil®, Aleve®, aspirin, etc.) for one week prior
• Let your provider know if you have dental crowns, caps, or metal implants

The team reviews your medical history during your initial consultation to make sure the treatment is safe and effective for you.

How do I care for my skin after microneedling?

Caring for your skin after microneedling helps enhance your results and protect against irritation:

• Keep your skin moisturized and clean to avoid contamination or irritation
• Avoid touching or scratching any tiny scabs that may form
• Refrain from using hot baths, massages, or harsh skincare products for the first two days post-treatment
• If you experience redness, apply a hydrocortisone cream up to four times daily, starting 12 hours after treatment
• Protect your skin by using SPF 30 (or higher) sunscreen daily and avoid prolonged sun exposure for at least two weeks
• Wait at least 12 hours to apply makeup 
• Use an ice pack in 15-minute sessions to reduce swelling

If you experience a mild burning sensation, a mixture of water and white vinegar can help ease your discomfort.
