What is RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to tighten and rejuvenate the skin on the face, neck, and body. By creating tiny microchannels in the skin with fine needles, RF energy is delivered below the surface, stimulating collagen production and triggering skin tightening. This process results in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. In some cases, the results are so significant that RF microneedling is often referred to as a non-surgical facelift.
Benefits of RF Microneedling
Pixel8 RF Microneedling offers a wide range of benefits, including:
- Skin tightening and firming
- Reduction of wrinkles and fine lines
- Minimized acne scars and stretch marks
- Improved skin texture and tone
- Reduction of large pores
- Blending of stretch marks
- Reduction of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
The ability to tighten skin and improve overall skin quality makes Pixel8 RF Microneedling an excellent choice for patients looking to achieve a youthful, revitalized complexion without surgery.
What Areas Can Be Treated with RF Microneedling?
Pixel8 RF Microneedling is most commonly used on the face and neck to reduce wrinkles and tighten the skin, but it can also be used on the arms, abdomen, and legs. It’s an ideal solution for areas where the skin has become loose due to aging or weight loss.
Pixel8 RF vs. Morpheus8
Both Pixel8 RF and Morpheus8 are popular RF microneedling devices, but Pixel8 RF stands out due to its ability to deliver 2 megahertz of energy–double that of Morpheus8. This translates into a more comfortable experience with less discomfort during the treatment. Many patients who have tried Morpheus8 report difficulty tolerating the procedure due to pain, while Pixel8 RF is much better tolerated, ensuring patients can complete the treatment and achieve optimal results.
Pixel8 RF Microneedling Treatment Process
Each Pixel8 RF Microneedling treatment takes approximately 30-60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Before the treatment, a numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort. The Pixel8 RF device creates microchannels in the skin while delivering radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and tighten the skin.
Recovery After Pixel8 RF Microneedling
One of the major benefits of Pixel8 RF Microneedling is the minimal recovery time. Patients may experience mild redness or swelling for 24-48 hours following the treatment, but this typically subsides quickly. Most patients can resume their normal activities, including applying makeup, within 1-2 days.
Enhancing Results with PRP
To boost the effects of Pixel8 RF Microneedling, we offer the option to combine it with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. PRP is derived from your own blood and contains powerful regenerative properties. When applied after microneedling, PRP accelerates healing and enhances the results by stimulating deeper tissue repair. This combination leads to even more youthful, radiant skin.
Combining Pixel8 RF Microneedling with Erbium Laser
For patients seeking a non-surgical facelift, combining Pixel8 RF Microneedling with Erbium Laser Resurfacing can deliver remarkable results. While the Pixel8 RF focuses on rejuvenating the deeper layers of the skin, the Erbium Laser resurfaces the top layers, creating a synergistic effect that leaves the skin smoother, tighter, and more radiant.
How Many RF Microneedling Treatments Will I Need?
While some patients notice improvements after just one treatment, most will benefit from a series of Pixel8 RF Microneedling sessions. We typically recommend a series of three treatments spaced about four weeks apart to achieve optimal results. During your consultation, Dr. Hilinski will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your specific goals.
