Radiofrequency Microneedling: Look Younger Without the Pain

Are you tired of seeing fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, brown spots, or acne scars? With breakthrough technology, you can minimize these and many other skin imperfections to the point where they’re barely visible.

Traditional microneedling, also known as Percutaneous Collagen Induction Therapy, is effective, but there’s an improved technique that works wonders: radiofrequency microneedling. At Estique Clinic by Dr. Neha Sharma, we are excited to offer this revolutionary therapy.

What Skin Flaws Can Radiofrequency Microneedling Improve?

RF microneedling is safe for nearly all skin types and can improve various skin imperfections, including:

Acne scars
Fine lines and wrinkles
Crepey skin
Uneven skin tone and sun spots
Uneven skin texture
Sagging skin
Large pores

How Does RF Microneedling Work?

Like traditional microneedling, RF microneedling creates tiny “micro-injuries” in your skin. These injuries occur in the dermis, the skin’s underlayer, rather than the surface layer (epidermis).

The radiofrequency device uses special needles that transmit RF heat energy into your dermis, stimulating growth factors in your skin cells. This process triggers the production of new collagen, which heals the micro-injuries.

RF microneedling tightens sagging skin, breaks down scar tissue, and replaces it with new collagen, plumping up facial grooves and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. The outer layer of your skin remains undamaged, ensuring quicker recovery compared to laser treatments or chemical peels.

Proven Results

A study published by the National Institutes of Health reported that patients who underwent four treatments one month apart experienced up to a 400% increase in collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep skin looking smooth and supple.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

First, your skin is gently cleaned, and a topical numbing agent is applied to ease discomfort. A handheld device is then moved across your skin, creating micro-injuries in the dermis. This disturbance causes enzymes to break down old tissue and form fresh tissue.

Post-Treatment Care

Post-treatment discomfort is minimal and can be eased with ice packs. Minor swelling and a warm or itchy sensation in the treated area may occur but typically resolve within two days. Always wear sunscreen on the treated area when exposed to the sun.

Results are not immediately visible. It takes about 12 weeks to see the final benefits as old skin cells disappear and new ones replace them. The effects are long-lasting, but as your body continues to age, you may need a refresh treatment after a year or so.
