What Does RF Microneedling Feel Like?

RF microneedling is a minimally-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars. The treatment is relatively painless and requires no downtime. However, some patients may experience mild discomfort during the procedure. Here's what you can expect:

During the treatment, your aesthetician will use a handheld device to deliver RF energy through small needles into the deeper layers of your skin. You may feel a brief prickling sensation as the needles enter your skin. Some patients also report feeling a warmth or tingling during the treatment. This is normal and should subside within a few minutes.

After the treatment, your skin may appear red and flushed. Your skin will feel warm and slightly sensitive to touch. This is temporary and will usually resolve within a few hours. You may also notice some mild bruising or swelling in the treated area, but this should go away within a few days.

In the days following your treatment, you may notice that your skin looks brighter and feels softer. These are signs that the treatment is working to stimulate collagen production. You may also see an improvement in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars over time with multiple treatments.

 

Tips for Dealing with Discomfort after Treatment

After your RF Microneedling treatment, you may experience some discomfort. Here are a few tips to help you deal with it:

- Take over-the-counter pain medication if needed.

- Apply ice to the treated area for 20 minutes at a time, several times a day.

- Avoid hot showers or baths, as they can aggravate the skin. Instead, take cool or lukewarm showers.

- Wear loose, comfortable clothing that does not rub or irritate the skin.

If you follow these tips, you should start to feel better within a few days. If your discomfort persists or gets worse, contact your doctor.

 

Pre and Post Care Guidelines
Pre-treatment

-Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry. Do not use any harsh products or exfoliators on your skin for at least 24 hours prior to treatment.

-Arrive to your appointment with a clean face. If you must wear makeup, be sure to remove it completely before coming in.

-In the days leading up to your treatment, avoid sun exposure as much as possible. If you do go out in the sun, be sure to apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.

Post-treatment

-For the first 24 hours after treatment, avoid washing your face more than twice per day. Use a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water when cleansing. Avoid using any harsh products or exfoliators.

-Do not touch or pick at your skin during the healing process. Let any scabs that form fall off on their own. Picking can lead to scarring.

-Apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher whenever you go outside for the first two weeks after treatment. After that, continue to wear sunscreen whenever you'll be spending extended time outdoors.

 

What Results Should I Expect?

RF microneedling is a treatment that can be used to improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and scars. It can also be used to tighten skin and improve its overall elasticity. The results of RF microneedling vary from person to person, but most people see a noticeable difference in the appearance of their skin after just one treatment. However, some people may need to undergo multiple treatments before they see the full effects of RF microneedling.
