Keep reading for a closer look at the benefits of microneedling, including how this exciting technology can help transform your complexion and boost your confidence in a single treatment.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a widely used cosmetic treatment designed to reduce certain signs of facial aging and other skin imperfections to help patients achieve a smoother, healthier, and more even complexion. Microneedling is often used as an anti-aging treatment as well, revealing more youthful-looking skin and a brighter overall appearance.
Microneedling works by creating tiny pinpoint punctures on the skin’s surface, which triggers the body’s natural regenerative processes to create new, healthy skin cells and reduce visible signs of aging, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Age spots
- Sun damage
- Hyperpigmentation
- Dark spots
- Dull skin
- Uneven skin
- Rough skin texture
- Patchy skin
- Dry skin
- Acne scarring
What does RF microneedling do?
Another highly beneficial type of microneedling is radiofrequency (RF) microneedling. Radiofrequency microneedling also creates micro-injuries to the skin’s surface to encourage the development of new, healthy skin cells and also delivers RF energy beneath the skin’s surface to tighten loose skin and create an even more dramatic transformation. While the results of RF microneedling can certainly be stunning, patients should have realistic expectations for their outcome and understand that this treatment is not designed to address pronounced skin laxity and is not considered an alternative to a surgical facelift.
