HOw long will my RF micro-needling marks take to fade?
Are you ready to look younger and more vibrant? Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling helps tighten the skin for a smoother and rejuvenated appearance. The RF treatments rely on Vivace fractional RF technology, which uses tiny needles that create only micro-injuries (tiny scabs) on the skin’s surface. The needle marks start to fade within 24 – 72 hours after the procedure.
At Dr. Cait Smiles Dentistry & Aesthetics in Naples, FL, Dr. Cait McLaughlin offers microneedling with PRP. You’ll meet with Dr. Cait to discuss your personalized treatment plan. The entire microneedling treatment is carried out in a private treatment room and tailored to help meet your particular needs.
THE RF MICRONEEDLING PROCEDURE IN NAPLES, FL
During the RF microneedling process, a numbing cream is applied directly to the skin. A specialized handheld device is then used to gently puncture the skin's surface to more effectively deliver RF energy pulses deep into the skin’s layers to spur the body’s natural production of collagen to achieve smoother and more even skin.
As you age, your body’s production of collagen and elastin slows. Your skin starts to lose its plump appearance, which allows fine lines and wrinkles to develop. RF energy stimulates the skin to produce more collagen and elastin to help you attain a more youthful appearance.
A topical platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is applied to the skin’s surface following the microneedling treatment. The serum helps to further assist the skin in the healing process. You’ll typically start to notice smoother, younger-looking skin in a little over a month following RF microneedling with PRP treatment.
To gain optimum results, Dr. Cait suggests undergoing 3 – 4 treatments. The treatments are typically spaced several weeks apart to give the skin a chance to heal and start the rejuvenation process as it forms new collagen and elastin.
