Are you looking to refresh your skin without significant downtime? Microneedling with radiofrequency has become a go-to treatment for those wanting to tighten skin and smooth texture.
At Best Impression Med Spa in Blue Bell, PA, providers Robert Mirabile, MD, and Vivian Hsu, MD, want you to feel confident before you sit in our treatment chair.
Before you start microneedling with RF, here are five questions they suggest you should ask.
Not all machines are equal. Some devices use insulated needles that protect the top layer of skin, while others don't. This matters because the right device reduces the risk of burns or pigment changes, especially for darker skin tones.
While some see changes quickly, most people need a series of treatments. Studies show that patients often see a 400% increase in collagen and elastin six months after completing four monthly sessions. We’ll help you plan a schedule that fits your life.
We help you plan a schedule that fits your life and your specific skin concerns, whether you are targeting fine lines or deep acne scars. Most patients find that a series of three to four treatments delivers the most visible and lasting structural changes to the skin.
When administered by an experienced provider, like those at Best Impressions Med Spa, the risk of complications is low. Improper use can lead to scarring or nerve damage. It’s vital to ensure your provider is a trained medical professional who knows how to handle the equipment safely. Common side effects include temporary redness or minor swelling, which typically resolve within 48 to 72 hours.
RF microneedling is not a permanent fix for aging, but it is a powerful tool. Results usually last about a year. Many of our clients choose to have a maintenance session every 6 to 12 months to keep their skin looking firm. The longevity of your results depends on your skincare routine and sun protection habits. Using medical-grade serums after treatment can help your skin heal faster and look better for longer. As your body ages, these touch-ups help counteract the natural loss of volume.
Traditional microneedling creates tiny holes to trigger healing. Adding radiofrequency (RF) delivers heat deep into the skin, providing greater tightening. If your main goal is firming loose skin, the RF version is usually the better choice.
