Have age and sun exposure damaged your complexion? As we all know, aging is commonly accompanied by wrinkles, enlarged pores, and other skin concerns. What is often overlooked is the lasting impact of sun exposure on the skin. Those of us who enjoy the outdoors can attest to deeper, more visible signs of aging affecting overall skin quality. If you want to restore a more youthful, natural looking appearance, Synergy in Richmond and Midlothian, VA is here to help. Our clinic offers advanced RF microneedling as an effective treatment for sun damage and skin aging. This FDA approved skin rejuvenation technology is designed to improve tone, texture, and radiance without making your results look overdone.
How can RF Microneedling Help?
Radiofrequency Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment made for those looking for something stronger than a chemical peel, but not as aggressive as a laser treatment. RF Microneedling machines work by causing micro-injuries to the skin via fine needles or pins. In doing so, they trigger the body’s natural healing process, promoting new collagen and elastin growth. What makes RF microneedling different from regular microneedling treatments is that it adds the element of radiofrequency energy to the procedure. The added RF energy is delivered directly into the dermis, providing added skin tightening and scar reduction benefits.
RF Microneedling Procedure
RF Microneedling is offered at our Richmond clinic is performed by our master esthetician. When you come in, we will take the time to discuss the treatment and answer any questions you may have. Afterward, the procedure will begin with topical and anesthetic gel application. The gel is designed to both numb the skin and facilitate the microneedling. The actual microneedling procedure takes an additional 30–60 minutes. During this time, you will feel a slight vibration, but any and all discomfort will be minimal.
RF Microneedling Results
When you meet with us, we will take the time to customize the Microneedling procedure to best align with your particular goals. Every patient is unique, therefore your treatment and results will be specific to you. Generally, patients experience a decrease in the appearance of sun damage, scarring, and wrinkles following their session. For enhanced benefits, we recommend returning on a yearly basis for follow-up procedures.
Treatment Recovery and Downtime
Following your session, you may experience some redness and irritation for up to 24 hours. However, the procedure does not result in other side effects and requires no downtime. You are free to resume your daily activities immediately after treatment. Daily application of a soothing topical cream is recommended for a week after treatment. Treatments can be customized to achieve desired results and effectiveness. For more effective scar reduction and skin tightening, this microneedling can be paired with laser treatment and Collagen Induction Therapy.
