RF microneedling blends advanced technology with your body’s natural healing processes to tighten skin and smooth away imperfections that can leave you feeling less than your best.
That’s why triple-board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gordon Sasaki offers RF microneedling treatments at his multi-tiered practice, Sasaki Advanced Aesthetic Medical Center in Pasadena, California.
Read more from the Sasaki team regarding the benefits of RF microneedling and why it’s so effective.
Traditional microneedling uses tiny needles to introduce micro-injuries to the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing response and promotes increased collagen and elastin production.
This effect is increased with RF microneedling, which uses controlled heat via radiofrequency (RF) energy to boost elastin production and collagen remodeling to the next level.
Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that triggers new cell growth and provides the skin with structure and firmness. Elastin, another vital protein, allows the skin to stretch and snap back into place.
Our Sasaki Advanced Aesthetic team uses the INTRAcel system for RF microneedling. This FDA-cleared device offers quick results and improved patient comfort and satisfaction.
Additionally, the depth of the needles and the intensity of the radiofrequency energy can be altered to suit your complexion needs. This means we can target different skin concerns, including acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, signs of aging, and other aesthetic issues.
Benefits of RF microneedling include:
RF microneedling treatments reduce the appearance of acne scars, large pores, and uneven skin surfaces. This improves skin texture, giving the skin a more refined and youthful appearance.
Hyperpigmentation and dullness are common skin complaints, often due to sun damage, age spots, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation related to previous acne outbreaks.
RF microneedling helps address these concerns by boosting skin cell turnover and fading pigmentation irregularities, providing a more even and brighter skin tone.
For those battling the early signs of aging, RF microneedling significantly minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The heat from the radiofrequency energy promotes collagen synthesis, leading to firmer and plumper skin. The added boost of elasticity helps diminish the depth of wrinkles.
An added benefit of RF energy is its ability to target deeper skin layers, tightening the skin from within.
This nonsurgical tightening effect makes RF microneedling an excellent option for patients who want a lifted, firmer appearance without the downtime of more invasive procedures.
One of the biggest perks of RF microneedling is excellent results with minimal downtime compared to more invasive treatments.
Although you may experience mild redness afterward, most individuals can resume their daily activities shortly after RF microneedling.
Additionally, because it doesn’t rely on laser energy, which could cause hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones, RF microneedling is safe for all skin types.
After care in the post treatment period is very important. After care should include the application of topical growth factors to continue and enhance microneedling with RF results.
