What to Expect With RF Microneedling
Initial Consultation
Your journey with RF Microneedling begins with an initial consultation at Refine, MD Northwest. During this visit, you will meet with Dr. Bryan McIntosh to discuss your skin concerns and goals. He will assess your skin condition and determine whether RF Microneedling is the best treatment option for you. Dr. McIntosh will take the time to explain the treatment in detail and address any questions or concerns you may have.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Every patient has unique skin concerns, which is why we create a personalized treatment plan tailored to meet your specific needs. Whether you are looking to reduce acne scars, minimize fine lines, or firm sagging skin, our team will customize the treatment to achieve the best possible results.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
Before your RF Microneedling session, you will receive detailed instructions on how to prepare. This may include adjusting your skincare routine, avoiding certain products, and preparing your skin for treatment. Proper pre-treatment preparation helps ensure optimal results.
The Treatment
During the treatment, a handheld RF microneedling device will be used to create tiny micro-injuries in your skin. As the microneedles penetrate the skin, they deliver radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers. This combination of microneedling and RF energy stimulates collagen production and promotes skin tightening from within.
The treatment is typically well-tolerated, with patients experiencing mild discomfort, which can be minimized with the application of a topical numbing cream before the treatment. An RF Microneedling session generally lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Post-Treatment Care
After the treatment, you may experience some redness, mild swelling, or sensitivity in the treated area. These effects usually subside within a few hours to one day. You will be provided with post-treatment care instructions to help soothe your skin and promote healing. Most patients can resume normal activities within a day or two, though it’s important to follow any specific aftercare recommendations to ensure the best results.
