Most people with an interest in skincare have heard about microneedling — it’s a huge buzzword among beauty gurus and medical professionals alike. This remarkable process stimulates the skin to heal itself and take on a more youthful appearance. It is even more effective when it is paired with radiofrequency (RF) energy. What can this remarkable treatment do for you? Let’s discuss five of its most outstanding benefits.
Improved Skin Texture
Skin texture tends to change with age. Due to a decrease in collagen and elastin, skin becomes thinner and can take on a deflated, wrinkled texture. Microneedling with RF encourages the body to produce more collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer, plumper skin.
Remove Spots
Sunspots are common among people with a lot of life experience. Even if you’ve been diligent about using SPF for your entire life, you still might find that you have a few unsightly dark areas. They occur because after intense or prolonged exposure to the sun, the collagen beneath the skin suffers damage. The body also sends melanin (a pigment) to the area to protect it from further damage. By stimulating new collagen, microneedling with RF can help to reduce or even reverse some sunspots.
Shrink Scars and Stretch Marks
Microneedling can be used for almost any part of the body, so not only can it help with pesky acne scars or other marks on your face, but it may also help with stretch marks on other parts of your body. It does so by penetrating the skin and sparking a healing process that can greatly reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
Make Skincare Products Work Better
Without microneedling, most skincare products simply sit on the surface of your skin, which means their effectiveness is limited at best. After a microneedling session, your skin becomes more penetrable, so skincare products are better able to benefit its deeper layers. Of course, a word of caution is in order: You should be extra choosey about what you put on your skin following microneedling — the last thing you want is to put toxic or low-quality products into your body! It may be in your best interests to ask a qualified medical professional for recommendations on which products you should use.
Long-Term Results
How long the results of microneedling with RF last vary from case to case, but most patients enjoy improved skin texture and a reduction in wrinkles for at least several months — perhaps a year or longer. Your med spa professionals may recommend that you return periodically for touch-ups so you can continue to look and feel your best.
