When you allow your body’s natural healing response to truly rejuvenate your skin, you can create results unlike any other. While RF microneedling in OKC alone lays the groundwork for an enhanced complexion, complementing it with an expertly crafted skin care regimen leads to even greater radiance.
In this blog, we’ll cover the science behind RF microneedling, the treatment process, and the best skin care products to prolong your results. If you’re ready to speak with one of our experts, visit our website or give us a call to schedule your initial consultation.
What is microneedling?
Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling, otherwise known as Morpheus8, uses tiny, pin-like needles to penetrate the dermis, or the middle layer of skin. Reaching these depths creates a controlled injury to boost the body’s collagen production and remodel the skin, leaving it stronger and healthier.
As the body’s primary protein building block, collagen provides the skin with structure and support. Increasing collagen fortifies the skin at a cellular level and addresses a variety of aesthetic concerns, including:
- Uneven skin tone
- Scarring
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin laxity
- Hyperpigmentation
At Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates, we pair microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This energy creates additional skin damage to enhance the standard effects of microneedling and create a smoother complexion.
The Treatment Process
Before beginning the treatment process, you first stop by our office for a comprehensive consultation with one of our skin experts. During this appointment, together you discuss your skin concerns to determine how RF microneedling can best rejuvenate your skin. Your provider may also ask about your medical history and medications you’re taking.
At each RF microneedling treatment session, your provider cleanses your skin and applies a topical anesthetic. Once your treatment area is fully numb, your provider glides the RF microneedling device across your skin. Most RF microneedling treatment sessions last 45 to 90 minutes.
You may experience mild redness, soreness, and swelling in the days after your RF microneedling procedure. We recommend using a cold compress and over-the-counter painkillers like acetaminophen to alleviate these symptoms. Avoid placing ice directly onto your treatment area to prevent your newly resurfaced skin from drying out.
Boost Your Results With Medical-Grade Skin Care
Though RF microneedling rejuvenates the skin for a smoother, glowing complexion, proper skin care creates a strong base before every treatment. Here are a few medical-grade skin care products we recommend pairing with your RF microneedling treatment plan.
- SkinMedica®’s HA⁵® Hydra Collagen Replenish + Restore Hydrator – Creates lasting hydration without irritating the skin.
- Alastin® Skincare’s Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology® – Preps the skin for aesthetic treatments and speeds along the recovery process.
- ZO® Skin Health’s Growth Factor Serum – Restores skin thickness with enzymatically derived growth factors.
- NEOVA®’s Non-Ablative TX System – Maximizes treatment results with Copper Peptide Complex.
Scheduling a consultation with one of our skin experts can help you determine which skin care products best suit your unique needs.
