RF MICRONEEDLING

RF Microneedling Treatment by The Skin Clinic in Houston Texas

Microneedling is a skincare treatment that uses needles to create micro-injuries on the skin. This technique stimulates the body’s natural healing response, which increases the production of collagen and elastin.

In radiofrequency microneedling (RF), the addition of energy is added for increased collagen promotion, fat destruction, and skin tightening. Microneedling with radiofrequency is also a fantastic treatment for acne scarring.

Pre-Treatment Info

What to do/not to do before

  • Avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs like aspirin, Motrin, Advil, ibuprofen, or any other product that isn't Tylenol or acetaminophen) for two weeks before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.
  • Hydrate: Your hydration status is crucial for an effective treatment. Aim to drink 2 liters of water per day at minimum 2 days prior to treatment.
  • Take antiviral medication beginning one day before and continuing for the duration of your treatment if you have a history of cold sores.
  • Stop all topical acid-based treatments (such as glycolic, alpha, or beta hydroxy acids), retinol, Retin-A, or other similar products one week before your treatment, and for one week after your treatment.
  • Avoid sun exposure before your treatment. Use SPF daily. If you arrive to your appointment tanned, you may be required to reschedule.
  • Please arrive to your appointment with a clean, makeup free face (SPF is okay!).

Post-Treatment Info

What to do/not to do after

  • Absolute no exercise, heat, sweating, or makeup for 48 hours after treatment. These will irritate the skin and may delay healing or cause hyperpigmentation following treatment.
  • Use post procedure products as instructed. Avoid exfoliation, acids, and retinols for 5-7 days.
  • A sunburn sensation and mild redness are expected after treatment.

RF Microneedling FAQs

You can expect 48 hours of swelling and redness. Do not exercise or conduct any other activity that could raise your core body temperature for 24 hours following your treatment, including super-hot showers or getting into a sauna. Do not apply make-up for 24 hours.

Patients may experience redness and swelling after treatment, which usually subsides within 24-hours or less.

  • Excess submental volume (double chin)
  • Neck laxity (skin tightening)
  • Forehead wrinkles
  • Acne scars
  • Jowling (marionette lines)
  • Under eyes
  • Arm skin tightening
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Stretch marks

The number of treatments recommended depends on our treatment goals. For most patients, 3 treatments are recommended. For acne patients, up to 6 treatments may be desired.

Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically after 4-6 weeks the most noticeable results appear. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment.

  • Pacemaker or internal defibrillator
  • Superficial metal or other implants in the treatment area.
  • Current or history of skin cancer, including pre-malignant moles.
  • History of any kind of cancer.
  • History of keloids.
  • Pregnancy and nursing.

Because RF microneedling stimulates your own body to build collagen, the effects are long-lasting, or “semi permanent.” Your results wont go away over night, but the treatment wont stop aging, and you can still gain weight in the treatment areas.

No! We love microneedling with rf due to its effective, natural results. The treatment will rejuvenate the tone, texture, and complexion of the skin.

RF Microneedling treatments are not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
