Tired of your skin looking tired? RF Microneedling in Seattle offers a solution to restore your glow. Microneedling with targeted radiofrequency is clinically proven to improve skin tone and texture and reduce signs of aging, bringing life back into your skin. Our experienced aesthetics center team uses VirtueRF, the most advanced technology currently on the market. RF Microneedling is a non-invasive and natural process that supports the production of your own collagen – it helps your body heal itself.
Seattle RF Microneedling involves applying sterile needles that release radiofrequency waves into the dermis layer of skin. The fine needle creates microscopic channels in the skin, stimulating collagen production. The energy released by the needle helps to remodel collagen and elastin, which tightens and lifts the skin. RF, or radiofrequency, is an additive that enhances the effects of standard microneedling.
This procedure targets several skin impurities, including fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, large pores, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, loose skin, cellulite, and hyperhidrosis. It can be used on all skin tones.
Before scheduling an RF microneedling appointment in Seattle, you will come into our aesthetic center for a free consultation. At this appointment, you will meet with our team, who will ask you questions about your medical history and assess your skin. At this visit, you have a chance to discuss any questions or concerns you may have about the procedure with our provider.
We will then book your microneedling session. You need to avoid certain medications for 1-3 weeks before this appointment, including any blood thinners, NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, and some herbal supplements, as these can increase bleeding and bruising. You also need to limit sun exposure, continue to use a daily SPF, and refrain from using tanning beds or self-tanning agents for at least two weeks before your appointment.
Certain skincare products, including retinoids and acids, should also be avoided for two weeks before your treatment, as these can cause severe irritation. Microneedling cannot be performed on skin with active infections or breakouts. If you have active acne, consider seeing one of our specialists to help clear your skin before booking your RF microneedling appointment.
On the day of your appointment, refrain from your morning coffee, as caffeine can thin your blood. Arrive with clean skin, free of products, including makeup and moisturizer. RF Microneedling typically takes about an hour, so sit back, relax, and get ready to see results.
When you leave your appointment, your skin may look flushed and feel like a mild to moderate sunburn. You can expect redness and swelling for a few days after your treatment, and mild discomfort is normal. Then, your skin may begin to flake, peel, or feel dry and tight. Typically, your skin should look healed within a week, and you will begin to notice skin tone and texture improvement. However, healing below the surface will continue happening for months.
Taking care of your skin after your Seattle RF microneedling is crucial to maximize the benefits. Use a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser twice a day, followed by a non-comedogenic moisturizer with SPF. Do not apply makeup for 24-48 hours, and avoid harsh products, including retinoids, acids and exfoliants, for one week. Try not to pick or scratch the treated area. You can apply ice packs to reduce swelling and discomfort. At night, elevate your head slightly and use a clean pillowcase.
RF Microneedling in Seattle is a clinically proven way to rejuvenate skin. With results that continue to grow for up to six months post-treatment, it is a minimally invasive option for long-lasting improvement in skin tone and texture. While four treatments are recommended, you will see results after just one session. Unlike other cosmetic procedures, RF Microneedling does not use harsh chemicals or pharmaceutical agents. As it stimulates the production of your own collagen, it is a non-invasive treatment that encourages your skin to rejuvenate itself. Call our aesthetics center today to book your free consultation.
