Microneedling doesn’t require active downtime, meaning you won’t have to take time offfrom work to recover from the treatment.
However, the aftereffects of microneedling can make it so that it’s tough to go right back to work or your normal routine immediately after your treatment. That’s because microneedling can cause redness, slight swelling, and skin sensitivity, especially in the first 24 to 48 hours after treatment.
RF microneedling adds radio frequency (RF) energy to the traditional microneedling technique in order to further stimulate the creation of growth factors. RF microneedling uses specialized “energized” needles to create micro-punctures along the skin and deliver radiofrequency energy through these punctures simultaneously. The addition of radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis amplifies the production of skin improving proteins and enzymes like collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid more than traditional microneedling alone. Added RD energy also heats underlayers of the skin which further enhances skin tightening.
