Microneedling with RadioFrequency (RF)

Microneedling with RadioFrequency

NanoFractional Microneedling treatments use tiny pins to remold your skin tissue, safely delivering heat without actually puncturing your skin. Instead, the NanoFractional Radio Frequency (RF) technology creates very small microdermal wounds. Since the wounds are so small, the treatment is much more comfortable than traditional CO2 lasers, while still producing incredibly visible results.

What is RF Microneedling?

RF microneedling takes microneedling to the next level. At Chin Up! Aesthetics, we offer microneedling with RF with our device Venus Viva™. This treatment works to eliminate years of damaged skin caused by the sun and the normal aging process. This treatment stimulates the production of your body’s own collagen.

This treatment is a non-surgical solution to skin resurfacing that corrects signs of skin damage and improves the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, rosacea, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture.

What does a RF Microneedling treatment do?

RF Microneedling adds the element of radiofrequency energy to the traditional microneedling procedure. The RF energy is delivered via small needles. In addition to the benefits seen with the micro-injury provided by the microneedles, RF microneedling also delivers RF energy deep into the dermis further enhancing skin tightening and scar reduction. The RF energy heats the underlying layers, causing constriction and tightening of the skin, as well as the stimulation of collagen and elastin production. Because the RF energy is delivered so deeply, it can produce faster, more dramatic results. RF microneedling can offer similar results to ablative laser procedures, but with significantly less discomfort and downtime. A topical anesthetic is applied prior to treatment to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.

How long is the treatment and what how much downtime should I expect?

Treatment usually takes 45 minutes – 1 hour, depending on the size of the treatment area. Skin is typically red for the first day or two after treatment, but the redness is typically mild and much less than is often seen with laser procedures. It is little or no discomfort after the procedure and patients typically are able to return to regular activities within a day. Makeup can be applied 24 hours after the procedure to mask any residual redness.
