What Is RF Microneedling Treatment?

Microneedling is a process that involves using a collection of tiny needles to cause miniature injuries to the skin’s surface, which, in turn, stimulate the body’s natural healing response. This healing response triggers the production of new collagen, skin cells, and elastin, which improve the skin’s appearance, leaving it looking brighter, firmer, and healthier. Microneedling is effective for improving skin surface texture and reducing the appearance of age spots, fine lines, and scars.

Xanadu’s RF microneedling treatment is unique in that it combines two effective skin treatments to deliver maximum benefit to our patients. In this procedure, microneedling is combined with radiofrequency energy to maximize the skin benefits and final results of the treatment. 

Radiofrequency (RF) uses heat wave energy to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin that the microneedling device does not reach to stimulate further collagen production from the deeper skin layers. This heat energy is non-invasive and virtually pain-free. The stimulation of collagen gives skin a tighter, firmer, and more plump appearance and can achieve impressive results in treating sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Uses of Xanadu Med Spa RF Microneedling

RF microneedling is a versatile treatment that can be effective on many skin-related issues. Unlike a surgical cosmetic procedure, RF microneedling delivers firmer, smoother, and tighter skin without the need for invasive surgical procedures. The Xanadu Med Spa aestheticians have achieved substantial improvements for patients with uneven skin tone, loose skin, visible pores, wrinkles, and scarring.

Wrinkles

The boost in collagen production from RF microneedling treatments provides substantial benefits for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen is one of the main proteins supporting healthy skin, hair, and nails. Increased levels of collagen after the treatment leave skin looking fuller and reduce wrinkles. 

Sagging Skin

In the same way that collagen and elastin improve fine lines and wrinkles, they can be extremely beneficial for skin tightening and improving loose facial skin. A course of RF microneedling treatments will leave your face and skin feeling firm and more toned.

Scarring

Xanadu Med Spa’s aestheticians have achieved impressive noticeable results using RF microneedling for clients with various scarring issues, including acne scars. The increased collagen following treatment almost acts as a filler to smooth out the indentation and facial scarring left from acne and other skin conditions. RF microneedling has been praised as a more effective, less invasive method of treatment for reducing acne scarring than other resurfacing procedures such as chemical peels. 

Brightening and Firming

RF microneedling stimulates the production of new skin cells, which produces brightening and rejuvenating results. These new skin cells leave the skin looking bright and refreshed. This is combined with increased collagen and elastin, which plumps, tones, and firms skin to achieve an overall healthy, youthful glow. 

Facial Sculpting

Another benefit of the combination of microneedling with RF is that RF treatments can also improve the shape of your face. In addition to stimulating collagen, radiofrequency waves can also break down fat cells in the face and lead to a slimmer, more refined appearance. 

Does RF Microneedling Work On All Skin Types?

Unlike some skin rejuvenation and resurfacing treatments, RF microneedling is effective for individuals with darker skin types in addition to those with lighter skin tones. The treatment is considered safe for all skin types and is generally well-tolerated by all. Ideal candidates include individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, improve scars and stretch marks, and rejuvenate their skin. 

Who Can’t Undergo Microneedling Treatments?

Generally, RF microneedling is appropriate for most people with most skin concerns. However, this treatment is not suitable for pregnant women and individuals who have recently undergone specific medical treatments. Individuals who have had radiation treatments and those using or who have used Accutane within the last six months are unable to undergo RF microneedling until the specified time has passed since their medical treatment. 

RF microneedling is also not advisable for those with open wounds, skin infections, or who suffer from thick, raised (keloid) scars. 

What To Expect From Microneedling at Xanadu Med Spa

During your consultation with an experienced member of staff at Xanadu, your bespoke treatment plan will be formulated to fit your specific goals and skin requirements. The number of treatments you will need will be dependent upon your skin type and the goals you have for your treatment. Typically, a treatment plan will consist of three or four treatments over a period of six weeks, with each session lasting around one hour. 

Will It Hurt?

Although the thought of hundreds of tiny needles on your skin can sound daunting and raise concerns about how much the treatment will hurt, RF microneedling is typically painless. Some people have reported that the treatment feels like sandpaper or a cat licking your skin, and others have just experienced a warm sensation in the treatment area. 

Results From Your Treatment

Once your skin heals and begins to produce more collagen, you can start seeing results and skin improvements in as little as a few days to weeks, but the most significant results will likely appear within 3-6 months. At this point, your skin will appear more glowy, tight, smooth, and fresh. The collagen-inducing effects can continue to improve for up to one year after the completion of your treatment. 

Another benefit of RF Microneedling is the little-to-no downtime required after your treatment. Unlike more invasive or surgical skin tightening treatments, patients can return to their daily life almost straight away after their appointment. Some patients may experience redness, minor swelling, or tingling, but these side effects are temporary and tend to subside within a few hours. 

Most patients take the day off work and return the following day. For some patients with more sensitive skin, it can take up to five days to see their symptoms subside entirely and for their skin to return to normal.
