WHAT IS RADIOFREQUENCY MICRONEEDLING?
Registered nurse Racheal R. Santarpia uses a special technique that creates gorgeous outcomes for our patients using a treatment known as radiofrequency (RF) microneedling with the Morpheus8™. RF treatments have been around for many years and are well-known in the cosmetic industry for skin tightening. This treatment uses heat to stimulate the creation of collagen deep within the skin to create a tighter, smoother surface. This therapy could be used with microneedling to optimize the results. At Clique Salon and Med Spa, we often incorporate this new process into our Lakeland, FL patients’ skin remedies to create firmer skin, a much smoother texture, and a glowing complexion.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MORPHEUS8 RF MICRONEEDLING?
A number of factors can create dull, aged, and rough skin. The Lakeland, FL individuals who have similar skin issues might find Morpheus8 RF microneedling a good solution to their complaints, gaining benefits from the procedure, such as:
- Softened, radiant skin
- Overall improved look of the skin
- Clearer skin surface, balance, and texture
- Stimulation of the body’s natural elastin and collagen growth for long-lasting results
AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR MORPHEUS8 RF MICRONEEDLING?
RF microneedling might be the right treatment for you if you are 40 years of age or older and are beginning to notice smile lines, age spots, discoloration, and other skin flaws (that can come with natural aging and sunlight exposure). RF microneedling at Clique Salon and Med Spa in Lakeland, FL is a great choice if you wish to:
- Tighten the skin, producing a more refreshed look
- Improve skin feel, tone, and pigment
- Correct skin irregularities like discoloration and blood vessels
- Reduce the appearance of sun damage and age spots
- Repair acne scars and other forms of discoloration
- Rejuvenate the skin for a younger, more glowing look
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM RF MICRONEEDLING
RF microneedling uses the Morpheus8, an instrument (with little needles at the end) that is rolled carefully against the skin to puncture and create micro-injuries that “disrupt” the tissues and produce collagen. Some even refer to this technique as collagen induction therapy. New skin grows as the skin begins to heal, leaving the surface feeling and looking smoother, brighter, and more refreshed. While this procedure is often performed on its own, we can also deeply penetrate nutrients into the skin by combining this advanced method with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or exosome therapies. Exosome therapy is a contemporary regenerative treatment that improves cell performance, promotes a radiant, even-toned complexion, and reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
The process is quite straightforward. The applicator, which emits radiofrequency energy, works by delivering short pulses of RF energy through an array of 25 sterilized, gold-plated microneedles. The energy is delivered via the needles, which concurrently puncture the skin and return the electrodes to the skin. The RF energy heats at levels that provide cumulative and continuing benefits.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER MORPHEUS8 RF MICRONEEDLING?
Your microneedling procedure will be performed at Clique Salon and Med Spa using a numbing solution to help reduce any discomfort. During your appointment with a member of our team, the handheld Morpheus8 device will slide across the desired treatment areas, repeating the technique until the desired outcome has been reached. You should expect small pinpoint scabs to become pronounced 24 – 72 hours after treatment, which will naturally disappear when the inherent skin has healed. Outcomes become noticeable as skin heals over the 3 – 4 weeks after a microneedling with RF treatment. Optimal results usually need 3 – 4 treatments one month apart.
