Ever wished there was a way to turn back the clock on your skin? Radiofrequency microneedling (RF microneedling) might be the answer you’ve been seeking. This innovative cosmetic treatment offers a minimally invasive approach to achieving a smoother, more youthful appearance with our Dubai based Beauty Therapist, Helen Merino .
How Does It Work?
Imagine tiny needles gently creating micro-channels in your skin. These channels are not meant to cause harm, but rather to trigger your body’s natural healing response.
Here’s the science behind it:
- Microneedling: The fine needles create controlled micro-injuries in the targeted area. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, the building blocks of healthy, plump skin.
- Radiofrequency Energy: The needles deliver radiofrequency waves directly into the deeper layers of the skin. This heat energy further stimulates collagen production and tightens existing collagen fibers.
Am I a Good Candidate RF Microneedling?
Rejuvenated Appearance: RF microneedling addresses fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin with precision. By jumpstarting collagen synthesis, it fosters a firmer, more resilient complexion, exuding a visibly youthful allure.
Achieve a Balanced, Uniform Complexion: Struggling with uneven skin tone? RF microneedling steps in to combat hyperpigmentation and skin discolouration, promoting a harmonious, even skin tone.
Radiate Confidence with a Luminous Glow: Harnessing the synergy of microneedling and radiofrequency energy, this treatment revitalises your skin, unveiling a radiant, luminous complexion. Remove the dullness from your complexion and maintain a vibrant, youthful glow.
Refine Texture and Minimise Pores: Enlarged pores and rough skin texture meet their match with RF microneedling. Through targeted intervention, it minimises pore size and smooths uneven patches, leaving behind velvety-soft, refined skin.
Aftercare and Potential Side Effects
Following the treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort. These typically subside within a few days. Proper aftercare instructions will be provided by your Vilafortuny Dubai Beauty Therapist, often including sunscreen use and avoiding harsh skincare products.
It’s important to note that while rare, potential side effects can occur, such as infection or temporary hyperpigmentation. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon can help determine if RF microneedling is the right choice for you and address any concerns you may have.
Immediate Aftercare (First 24-48 Hours):
- Minimising Discomfort: You may experience some redness, swelling, and a sunburned sensation. Apply cool compresses to soothe the treated area.
- Gentle Cleansing: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water as instructed by your doctor. Avoid harsh products or scrubbing.
- Moisturise: Use a fragrance-free, gentle moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and promote healing.
- Sun Protection: This is crucial! Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days.
- Makeup Minimisation: Avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours to allow your skin to breathe and prevent irritation.
Next Few Days:
- Continue Gentle Cleansing: Stick to your doctor’s recommended cleansing routine and avoid harsh products or scrubbing.
- Moisturise Regularly: Keep your skin well-hydrated with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer.
- Sun Protection is Key: Reapply sunscreen throughout the day, especially if you’ll be outdoors.
- Minimise Makeup: Use minimal, non-comedogenic makeup (doesn’t clog pores) if necessary.
- Avoid Heat and Sweat: Avoid strenuous exercise, hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms for a few days, as they can irritate the treated area.
- Don’t Pick or Scratch: Resist the urge to pick or scratch at any scabbing or peeling.
How much does radiofrequency microneedling cost?
As radiofrequency microneedling falls under cosmetic procedures, it typically isn’t covered by insurance. The total cost varies depending on factors like, the practitioner you choose, and your specific skin condition. Additionally, multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve optimal results.
