RF Microneedling is a revolutionary skin treatment that combines the precision of microneedling with the power of radiofrequency energy. Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which trigger your body’s natural healing process. At the same time, radiofrequency energy is delivered deep into the dermis to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin from within. The result significantly improves skin texture, tone, and firmness.
Before your treatment, we will conduct a thorough consultation to evaluate your skin concerns and determine if PiXel8-RF is the right option. This is also the time to ask any questions about the treatment.
In preparation for the treatment, it is essential to avoid sun exposure and skin irritants (like retinol or strong acids) for a few days. We will cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
During the session, the PiXel8-RF device gently punctures the skin with microneedles while simultaneously delivering controlled RF energy. You may feel slight pressure or a mild prickling sensation, but the process is generally well-tolerated.
Post-treatment care is crucial for achieving the best results. You must avoid sun exposure, wear sunscreen, and hydrate your skin. To minimize irritation, we recommend avoiding makeup for at least 24 hours and steering clear of strenuous activities for a couple of days. Some redness and minor swelling may occur but will subside within a few days.
For enhanced results, consider combining your RF Microneedling treatment with our Icoone® Laser face or body treatment or BioRePeel peel.
The treatment is generally well-tolerated, mainly since we apply a topical numbing cream beforehand. You may feel mild discomfort, but most patients find the procedure manageable.
A typical RF Microneedling session lasts 30-60 minutes, depending on the treated area. Allow for additional time for numbing.
For best results, we usually recommend a series of three to four treatments spaced about four weeks apart. However, the number of sessions will depend on your skin concerns and goals.
You may notice improvements in your skin texture within a week after your first session. Still, the most dramatic results will be seen after completing your series of treatments as collagen regenerates.
There is minimal downtime associated with RF Microneedling. You may experience some redness and swelling for 1-2 days, but most patients can resume normal activities after 24 hours.
Yes, RF Microneedling is safe for all skin types and tones, including darker skin. It offers a controlled delivery of energy that reduces the risk of hyperpigmentation or other side effects often associated with other skin treatments.
