Microneedling
The RF Microneedling treatment brings together two of our favorites, RF energy and microneedling. This treatment results in reduced appearance of wrinkles, increased collagen production, and tighter, more lifted skin. RF Microneedling is a minimally invasive non-surgical and non-ablative procedure for skin rejuvenation that involves the use of a microneedling device to stimulate collagen induction. As each fine needle punctures the skin, it creates a micro-wound. The controlled injury triggers the body to produce new collagen and elastin in the dermis. This treatment leads to the reduction of scars and skin rejuvenation, i.e., improved skin texture, firmness, and hydration.

The Treatment
Appointment Preparation
-
Please remember you will need to apply numbing cream 1 hour before your appointment. You can pick up the numbing cream anytime before your appointment to apply at home, or you can apply it at the spa.
-
Avoid treatments that may irritate the skin for 5-7 days before treatment (waxing, depilatories, retinoids, facial peels, etc.).
-
If there is dense hair in the area to be treated, please shave the day before the appointment to avoid irritation.
-
Avoid sun exposure (apply sunscreen daily and do not tan at all – including self-tanner) for 4 to 6 weeks before and after treatments.
-
Do not use any retinol products (or products containing tretinoin) or exfoliants on the area to be treated for one week.
-
Avoid Accutane (or isotretinoin products) for 6 months before your treatment.
-
Avoid alcoholic beverages for 24 hours as they can thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising.
-
Avoid taking blood thinners (fish oils, ginko, aspirin, Ibuprofen) as they can thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising.
-
Please let us know if you have a history of fever blisters. We can provide you with a prescription for prophylactic antiviral therapy to start on the day of the treatment to prevent a flare-up of cold sores
-
You must notify us if you have had any cosmetic tattooing on or near the area to be treated.

Your Appointment
Length of appointment depends on the areas treated, typically lasting 30 to 60 minutes.
The Results
Results are immediate and progressive. Optimal improvement is usually visible in 2 to 3 months, with continued improvement for up to six months as cellular rejuvenation continues. This treatment can be done annually as maintenance for continued skin vitality. Anticipate a social “down-time” of 2-5 days before any redness or swelling subsides.
