What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment to boost collagen and elastin production and tighten the skin. When your skin is damaged, it heals itself and increases collagen production. Microneedling uses the natural healing process by creating microdamage to the skin. This damage is not enough to affect your complexion, but enough to prompt the healing process.
Your skin should begin looking smoother and healthier as your collagen and elastin levels increase. Fine lines and wrinkles should fade, replaced with a younger, brighter complexion. When combined with radiofrequency technology, microneedling produces even more impactful results.
RF Microneedling Benefits
At Rejuvenessence, we use the Morpheus8 device for microneedling treatments. The Morpheus8 has 40 thin gold-plated needles and uses thermal profiling through radiofrequency energy. Utilizing radiofrequency technology, the Morpheus8can treat various skin conditions on a deeper level and in larger target areas than traditional microneedling.
The benefits of Morpheus8 microneedling include:
FDA-Cleared for Deeper Treatments
The Morpheus8 is the only FDA-cleared microneedling treatment to provide 8 mm of tissue remodeling. The needles on the Morpheus8 allow for 7 mm penetration with another 1 mm of radiofrequency thermal profiling, prompting a complete remodeling of the dermis and fatty tissue underneath the skin. The advantage of this deeper penetration means that we are able to treat thicker areas of skin, such as thighs, abdomen, and arms. We also see decreases in fatty deposits with these deeper treatments.
Improved Collagen Production
Microdamage in the skin prompts the healing process and boosts collagen production to strengthen the skin. Over a few months, your skin will continue to improve as the collagen levels increase.
As a result, the skin appears smoother and brighter, with reduced texture. Collagen also improves the overall structure of the skin. With the improvement of the structure, microneedling reduces fine lines and wrinkles, making you look younger and brighter.
Treats Anywhere on the Body
While microneedling is typically used for facials, Morpheus8 microneedling can treat anywhere on the body to improve skin texture and quality. Patients often use the treatment to address stretch marks or other areas of concern. If you wanted, you could treat your entire body with Morpheus8 microneedling.
Nearly Immediate Results with Continual Improvement
You’ll see improvement in your skin in the days following your microneedling treatment, with continual improvement over a few months. Multiple microneedling appointments provide optimal results.
What Does Radiofrequency Microneedling Feel Like?
To ease discomfort, a topical numbing agent is typically used. You may feel some prickling, but RF microneedling is typically a comfortable treatment. Furthermore, it can fit into any schedule depending on the size of the target area. Microneedling is a customizable treatment for your needs.
Microneedling Results and Recovery
Microneedling with the Morpheus8 requires no downtime or recovery process. The length of each treatment depends on the size of the treatment area, but afterward, you may immediately return to your life.
You may experience some redness for an hour or so after the treatment. To protect your healing skin, you should avoid direct sun exposure and wear SPF 30 or more.
Ideal Candidates for RF Microneedling
Morpheus8 treatments work on any skin type and tone from I to VI. As a result, almost anyone is a good candidate for microneedling treatments with RF energy. If you are interested in rejuvenating your appearance or are concerned about the quality and texture of your skin, Morpheus8 microneedling may be a promising treatment for you.
You may need to wait for microneedling treatment if you have an active skin condition. If you have an active condition, we offer a variety of treatments to improve your health depending on your unique concerns.
