✦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.

RF microneedling offers many benefits for the skin. Many of these come from the improved production of collagen created by this dual treatment.
