What is Radiofrequency Microneedling?
Radiofrequency or RF microneedling is an advanced form of microneedling that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and contract loose skin. It works by generating controlled wounds in the skin with microneedles that emit bi-polar radiofrequency energy. This jumpstarts the body’s natural healing response while the radiofrequency energy generates gentle heat in the deeper layers of the skin, causing it to contract and “shrink.” The wound-healing process also triggers collagen and elastin production to plump the skin and rejuvenate a more youthful appearance. Because of its ability to stimulate collagen, microneedling is sometimes referred to as collagen induction therapy.
RF microneedling is one of the best options available for non-surgical skin tightening and anti-aging because of its extremely effective combination approach. At Grace + Grey Med Spa, we use the cutting-edge Morpheus8 machine for this treatment. Morpheus8 is one of the deepest fractional treatments and it allows for deep tissue remodeling to create long-lasting results.
Your Customized RF Microneedling Consultation
RF microneedling in Pensacola, FL is an excellent option for patients experiencing moderate to severe signs of aging like skin laxity (sagging skin), fine lines and wrinkles, and dullness. However, it can also be used for a variety of other skin concerns like uneven skin tone, rough skin texture, acne scars, stretch marks, dryness, and more. RF microneedling can be combined with other skincare treatments like Botox®, fillers, and chemical peels for a more complete anti-aging regimen. During a consultation with our team, you’ll discuss your ideal treatment package to fully address your concerns.
The Treatment Process
RF microneedling treatment can be performed at our Pensacola office using the Morpheus8 machine. To begin, you’ll determine the right treatment approach with the help of our skincare experts. Once you’re ready, your skin will be cleansed and a numbing cream applied so you’re comfortable during the treatment. The Morpheus8 handpiece will be applied to your treatment area where it will generate tiny channels in the skin and administer warming radiofrequency energy. Once the area is completely treated, physician-grade active ingredients will be applied to your skin so they can penetrate the deeper layers where they’re most effective for skin rejuvenation and overall skin health. Once complete, your skin will be soothed and made ready for the rest of your day.
Recovery and Results
Morpheus8 can cause some redness and sensitivity for a few days after treatment. It’s important to be gentle with your skin and avoid harsh products or exfoliation. Your skin will be especially sensitive to sun damage so make sure to wear SPF 30+ daily and avoid excess sun exposure. It can take a few weeks for your skin to recover but you’ll begin to see a noticeable improvement in your skin’s radiance, texture, and quality. Most patients benefit from a package of 3-4 Morpheus8 RF microneedling treatments spaced about one month apart to fully treat skin concerns. However, after your initial package, you can return for maintenance treatments every 6-12 months to continue stimulating collagen production and prevent signs of aging. Our team will ensure you have a complete treatment schedule for your skincare goals during your consultation.
