Mesotherapy, Microneedling and RF Microneedling

Tradicional Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses small, sterilized needles to prick the skin. This treatment aims to generate new collagen and skin tissue to smooth, firm, and tone skin. Traditional Microneedling is mostly used on the face and may reduce the appearance of acne, scars, dark spots, wrinkles, and large pores Traditional microneedling will deliver a positive effect over a few treatments; adding radiofrequency energy reduces the time it takes to see great results and increases the results seen. In RF microneedling, the results are produced faster, are more dramatic, and are longer-lived.

FAQs

Ultimately RF microneedling is a more superior treatment compared to traditional microneedling. Although both have their respective benefits, but combines the benefits of microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. This contributes to a greater level of skin tightening.

Your skin will be red and flushed like a moderate sunburn. The redness should be greatly reduced within 24-48 hours.

Most people can start to see benefits after the first session, but for conditions such as scarring or pockmarking, you may need to get several sessions (up to 6). For anti-aging and skin tightening at least 3, and preferably 6 sessions are recommended.

The short answer is no, microneedling does not hurt. However, there may be some mild discomfort during the treatment depending on the individual's pain tolerance, skin sensitivity, and the depth of the needles used. Many people describe the sensation as simply a mild prickling or vibrating feeling.

Mesotherapy provides volume, hydration, pharmaceuticals or vitamins and minerals into the skin or scalp to help it rejuvenate, repair itself and reduce fine line on your face. This is performed using a very small needle and is not a particularly uncomfortable process.
