✦WHAT IS RF MICRONEEDLING?✦

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that creates brand-new collagen, as well as tightening the skin. Radiofrequency energy is administered directly into the skin through micro-needles. Not only do these small pin-pricks trigger the body's collagen production; but they also deliver RF energy which causes constriction and tightening of the skin. The result is much more rejuvenated appearance. The treatment is a form of controlled skin injury. The damage stimulates the growth of healthy new skin, which can benefit common skin issues like acne scars and wrinkles.
