Microneedling

Both of these treatments deliver gradual results. All patients can expect some initial results, but the most visible ones appear in the weeks following treatment. It can take the body up to 12 weeks to produce new collagen in the treatment area, and when it does, you’ll notice an improvement in your specific problem areas.

You will see results from just one treatment, but optimal results typically come from a series of treatments. At your initial consultation, we can give you a better idea of the total number of treatments you will need to address your specific concerns. Patients who want to treat superficial skin concerns typically need fewer treatment sessions than those who have more advanced skin concerns, like deep lines, wrinkles, or acne scars.

Another reason that both of these treatments are so popular is that they don’t require social downtime. Your skin may appear red and tight immediately following treatment and may even peel; a completely normal reaction that is a sign that the treatment is working. All of this will subside quickly. After that, you’ll need to follow the post-care instructions, including avoiding sun exposure and using the right topical products while avoiding harsh, anti-aging ones.

Both microneedling and RF microneedling treatments are minimally invasive and aim to improve the skin without synthetic ingredients or invasive techniques. For that reason, most patients make good candidates for treatment. While these treatments are known for their ability to increase natural collagen production, they’re also versatile and can address many common skin concerns.
