Microneedling is a minimally-invasive treatment in which tiny micro-channels are created in the top layer of your skin called the epidermis. Microneedling can help to prepare your skin for summer by stimulating your response system to produce more collagen and elastin, leading to a more youthful look. As new skin grows, the appearance of acne scars, injury, burn scars, and even stretch marks can be significantly reduced.
Make your dreams of smoother, more youthful-looking skin for summer come true with radiofrequency microneedling.
Why Professional Microneedling Produces Better Results Than DIY Treatments
Microneedling at home will result in minimal improvement, while professional microneedling creates notable results in as little as one treatment. Home microneedling is unable to provide effective results for two key reasons:
The Size of the Needle
At-home microneedles are typically less than 1mm in length, while professional microneedling devices often use needles between 1mm to 3mm. The longer needles used in professional treatments create more controlled wounding, providing you with more noticeable results. Long needles can be hazardous in amateur hands, so you should never attempt to use professional-grade equipment at home.
Technique
When it comes to dermal rolling and microneedling, the technique is critical. You will never be able to obtain the degree of experience of a dermatologist or aesthetician who has been trained adequately from a YouTube video or a blog post. Professionals have performed microneedling treatments on various skin types, leaving them with the skill set to make adjustments depending on your specific skin concerns.
Traditional Microneedling Vs. Radiofrequency Microneedling
Microblade radiofrequency (RF) needling skin therapy improves your complexion by lifting, tightening, and rejuvenating the skin. Unlike traditional microneedling and laser treatments, the PiXel8-RF can be safely used on all skin types because there is no risk of thermal damage to the epidermis.
The PiXel8-RF can be successfully used to correct a wide range of dermatological imperfections, including:
- Skin tightening
- Wrinkle reduction
- Acne scar improvement
- Skin tone and texture
- Improvement
- Pore reduction
- Scar reduction
- Double chin reduction
- Jowl lifting
- Eyebrow lifting
- Neck lifting
- Hand rejuvenation
Combining Microneedling With Additional Treatments
Microneedling is an ideal treatment option for those looking to improve scarring, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, fine lines, and more without the need for downtime or recovery. By needling damaged skin, treatment helps encourage the body to replace damaged tissue with new cells.
Perhaps the only thing better for your skin than a microneedling treatment is to combine it with an exfoliation treatment to further hydrate skin and restore a glowing tone. We recommend combining ultrasound technology microneedling treatments with our Radiance Red Carpet Laser Treatments that include:
Microdermabrasion
Gently “sand” the skin by manually exfoliating the skin using tiny crystals or a diamond tip to remove the outer layer of facial skin. Microdermabrasion can unclog pores, improve the tone and texture of the skin, and correct mild sun damage. This treatment can help to thicken skin and stimulate collagen production, which results in a younger-looking complexion.
Dermaplaning
Manually exfoliate the skin by feathering a special blade across the surface of the skin. This treatment frees pores of debris, reduces “peach fuzz,” and improves the texture of the skin’s outer layer.
