Skin tightening and resurfacing techniques have evolved, offering new opportunities for enhancing skin appearance without invasive surgeries. At Wise Aesthetics, we stay on top of these advancements to offer our patients in Carmel and Indianapolis, IN, the latest in skin rejuvenation.
RF Microneedling through our VirtueRF device can provide a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion, addressing concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone without the need for extensive recovery periods. If you are looking for a non-invasive treatment that produces noticeable results, RF microneedling could be the right option for you.
What Is RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling is a type of non-invasive treatment that can provide overall skin rejuvenation while treating specific concerns. RF microneedling treatments include the same aspects of a standard microneedling treatment plus the addition of radiofrequency energy. Using a combination of technologies allows us to treat even more skin issues in one easy treatment.
How Does RF Microneedling Work?
As the device creates microchannels in the skin, the needles simultaneously deliver precise and targeted amounts of radiofrequency energy into the dermal layers of the skin, heating existing collagen, which makes it immediately contract. It also stimulates a healing response from the body, causing it to create more collagen and elastin after the treatment is over. This dual approach to collagen induction therapy is an effective solution for those who want to dramatically improve the health and appearance of their skin, reverse the aging process, prevent accelerated aging, and address specific skin conditions naturally.
How Can RF Microneedling Benefit You?
- It is Non-Invasive: With RF Microneedling, there is no need for general anesthesia or other components of surgery, making it an attractive option for those who still want to see results but don’t want invasive procedures.
- It Uses Your Body’s Natural Responses to Heal Skin: By stimulating collagen and elastin production, radiofrequency microneedling works with your body rather than against it. This approach allows for more synergistic and holistic results.
- It Can Treat a Wide Range of Concerns: From reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to minimizing scars and hyperpigmentation, RF microneedling is versatile.
- It Can Slow and Prevent Signs of Aging: Radiofrequency microneedling not only addresses current skin imperfections but also contributes to the long-term prevention of signs of aging. By boosting collagen production, this treatment helps maintain the skin’s firmness and elasticity over time.
- It Can Improve the Overall Health and Texture of Your Skin: By promoting enhanced skin texture and a more even tone, RF needling offers an overall improvement in skin health. Patients often notice a more vibrant, smoother complexion following the treatment series.
What Can RF Microneedling Treat?
The combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy targets the underlying causes of fine lines and wrinkles. When your skin has more collagen and elastin, it can support the outer layers better, which can lead to smoother, more youthful skin around the eyes and mouth and on the forehead.
Scarring from acne can leave lasting marks on the skin, affecting texture and overall appearance. Microneedling with RF technology can reduce the depth and visibility of acne scars. By encouraging the regeneration of skin cells, patients can expect a noticeable reduction in scar prominence and a clearer complexion.
As skin ages, it can lose volume, leading to a hollowed appearance. RF microneedling revitalizes the skin from within, filling in areas of lost volume. This treatment can restore a more youthful contour to the face without fillers or surgery.
RF microneedling is particularly effective at treating uneven skin tone, including hyperpigmentation and sun spots. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, the treatment helps to break down pigmentation issues while promoting a more uniform skin color and texture.
For those struggling with rough or dull skin texture, RF microneedling provides a solution that revitalizes the skin’s surface. The treatment removes dead skin cells and stimulates the growth of new, healthy skin. Over time, patients can notice a smoother, more radiant complexion.
The VirtueRF Microneedling Device
We use the VirtueRF device at Wise Aesthetics to administer our RF microneedling treatments. VirtueRF is the newest generation of radiofrequency microneedling.
This FDA-approved treatment can treat fine lines and wrinkles on the face, neck, hands, and can also provide skin tightening on other parts of the body. This device is particularly adept at strengthening the skin’s foundational layers to improve skin tone, texture, and health.
Our Treatments With VirtueRF
In addition to VirtueRF treatments on their own, we also offer RF microneedling with PRF. This next-generation treatment combines the benefits of RF microneedling treatments with platelet-rich fibrin to accelerate and maximize the results. We create the PRF solution by performing a blood draw and then putting it through the centrifugation process. Then, we take the isolated, concentrated growth factors and plasma cells and apply them topically to the skin.
This regenerative technique accelerates the body’s natural healing processes and, when combined with a VirtueRF treatment, can restore and rejuvenate the skin while creating a firmer and more youthful skin texture.
We also offer combination treatments that combine VirtueRF with CoolPeel® and SkinWave® to maximize the treatment results. We can add CoolPeel®, SkinWave®, or both of these treatments to your microneedling with RF to address additional skin concerns and improve your skin.
CoolPeel® is a unique and effective CO2 laser treatment that improves skin texture, treats sun damage, smooths lines and wrinkles and corrects other skin imperfections. SkinWave® is a hydration-based treatment that uses an aqua delivery system to infuse the skin with moisture while cleansing it and promoting detoxification and ultimate hydration.
Frequently Asked Questions About RF Microneedling
We begin this treatment by applying a compounded numbing cream to the skin. This cream will temporarily numb the treatment area so that you remain comfortable throughout the session. Then, we’ll use the device to create tiny microchannels in your skin, spending extra time treating those skin imperfections you want to improve. We’ll adjust the amount of radiofrequency energy delivered to the skin as the needles create microchannels to stimulate a healing reaction.
At the end of the treatment, we’ll use a tandem first-in-market electro-current post-treatment mask, which will ensure an unprecedented recovery. This mask will calm and soothe your skin, eliminating the need for social downtime.
Some skincare treatments require patience as you await results, but not this one. VirtueRF gives you the best of both worlds, as you can expect immediate results and results that will appear as time passes. Patients can expect the most noticeable results within the first six to eight weeks of the RF needling treatment. We can give you more details about what you can expect from your treatment plan at your initial consultation.
The typical patient may require three or more RF microneedling treatments to achieve optimal results. The exact number can vary based on individual skin concerns, goals, and response to the treatment. Sessions are usually spaced four to six weeks apart to allow the skin ample time to heal and regenerate.
After completing a full course of RF microneedling, results can last six months or more. However, this can vary depending on individual skin conditions and lifestyle factors. Maintaining a proper skincare routine and protecting the skin from the sun can prolong the effects of the treatment.
Patients typically experience minimal discomfort during the treatment. Both microneedling and radiofrequency are designed to be gentle techniques. Our topical anesthetic will help reduce any sensations of pain, making the experience tolerable and comfortable for most individuals.
To prepare for your RF microneedling treatment, avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and any form of skin irritation for at least two weeks prior. Refrain from using retinol-based products or chemical peels for a week before the session. Staying hydrated and maintaining healthy skin through gentle cleansing and moisturizing can also help optimize your results.
