Collagen and elastin production are initiated and this effectively tightens skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and acne scarring.
RF Microneedling
RF microneedling is different in that it adds the element of radiofrequency energy to the traditional microneedling procedure. The RF energy is delivered by small needles. The benefits seen with the micro-injury provided by the microneedles, RF microneedling surgeon also delivers RF energy deep into the dermis further enhancing skin tightening and scar reduction. The RF energy heats the underlying layers beneath the skin, causing constriction and tightening. By doing this, it stimulates collagen and elastin production begins. Because the RF energy is delivered so deeply, it can produce faster, more dramatic results.
