Microneedling at The Studio Med Spa
Age, injury, and other lifestyle factors can cause our skin to lose collagen, sag, and further gain a weathered appearance. Say goodbye to a number of skin problems with a microneedling procedure. Microneedling involves using a pen-like object to prick the skin, causing a slight surface-level injury. This controlled injury is done to a targeted area of the skin, and the result of this treatment is to boost collagen production within the skin tissue as it regenerates after injury. The result is new skin tissue that is even in tone and texture.
At The Studio Med Spa clinic, we offer RF microneedling, regular microneedling, and microneedling with PRP. If you are curious to know which microneedling treatment may be the best fit for your skin, you can schedule a consultation with one of our expert providers. This can help us determine the severity of the conditions being addressed, learn more about your skin type, and more. With a microneedling treatment, your skin will look completely rejuvenated and youthful!
You've got questions, We've got answers.
What is RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling is a procedure very similar to microneedling, except RF microneedling further infiltrates the skin for thorough results and rejuvenation using radiofrequency waves. The pinpricks caused by the fine pen needle open up the skin to receive these waves. In turn, RF microneedling can help improve skin quality, texture, combat fine lines, stretch marks, and more, just like microneedling. However, this form of microneedling can also further improve deeper scarring, loose skin, and other concerns that regular microneedling wouldn’t necessarily address.
How is RF Microneedling in Rancho Peñasquitos Beneficial for My Skin?
Are you in the Rancho Peñasquitos area and looking to refresh your skin? RF microneedling can help! This minimally invasive treatment can help combat several worrying skin concerns. The procedure can help minimize pore size, improve skin quality and texture, address lines and wrinkles, and more. Skin issues can lead to conflicting emotions with your skin, which is why a treatment such as RF microneedling can do wonders for you–physically and emotionally!
RF Microneedling Procedure in Rancho Peñasquitos
How can you expect your RF microneedling procedure to work in Rancho Peñasquitos? To start, at The Studio Med Spa we apply a topical anesthetic to the face about an hour before treatment. This helps to greatly reduce feelings of pain and discomfort. During your procedure, we make the smallest pricks under the skin with a pen-like tool. This is also done by moving the tool evenly across the patient’s skin, in order for the new skin tissue to be even as well.
The microneedling process itself can take about 30 minutes. Afterward, a serum or calming treatment is applied. While we can’t give an approximate time for the procedure to be done, you can expect to be in the office for a couple of hours. Fortunately, this procedure doesn’t require a large downtime, which means you can resume your day afterward (while still being mindful of redness, having to apply SPF, etc.)!
Treatment Areas
If you are looking into RF microneedling or another form of this procedure, then you are dealing with certain skin troubles. Some of the target areas for microneedling can include:
- Acne scars/other shallow scars
- Age spots (also called sun spots)
- Large pores
- Uneven skin tone
- Loose or sagging skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
Risks and Side Effects
Microneedling, like any procedure, can come with a few risks and potential side effects. Some of the most common side effects reported by patients include minor skin irritation and redness. Be sure to reach out to us if you experience some of the more serious but rare side effects, such as:
- Infection
- Serious bleeding
- Serious bruising
Not everyone is a candidate for microneedling. You should avoid microneedling for the most part if you are:
- Pregnant
- Have open wounds
- Have gone through radiation therapy in a recent timespan
- Have psoriasis, eczema, or other certain skin diseases
- Have a lengthy history of skin scars/Keloids formation
What To Expect After Microneedling
Due to the nature of this procedure, you can expect redness the first few days after the procedure. As a result of the sensitivity of the skin after microneedling, using sunscreen is crucial. Generally, the skin works fast to regenerate after a microneedling session. Patients should see results within a couple of weeks. Of course, maintaining results of a microneedling treatment may entail more sessions as well as perhaps combining another aesthetic treatment for the ultimate rejuvenation.
Microneedling with PRP
Microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) can be a valuable treatment to further boost and improve the skin’s regeneration process. This is due to the platelets and plasma playing a big role in cell production and tissue regeneration. Also, PRP can boost the collagen and elastin production in deeper skin levels in comparison to regular microneedling. This can mean much better results for skin pigmentation, scar treatment, reduction in stretch marks, etc.
