RF Microneedling

Keep your skin looking clear and healthy with RF Microneedling in Austin Texas!


RF Microneedling, also known as Morpheus8, is a safe, effective, and non-surgical treatment for full-body skin resurfacing, tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling devices, triggering the skin’s natural healing response to promote skin tightening and lifting.

Collagen and elastin production diminishes as we age, revealing visible signs of aging on our skin, such as wrinkles and lines.

Aging also brings about dull, uneven skin. At Skin Parlor Med Spa in Austin, we can regain our skin’s former radiance with the help of medical aesthetic innovations, such as radiofrequency Microneedling.

 

Benefits of RF Microneedling a.k.a Morpheus8

  • Reduces signs of aging – Radiofrequency Microneedling stimulates the growth of new skin cells and collagen production, which reduces fine lines and wrinkles on the face.

  • Brightens the skin – Say goodbye to dullness due to old skin cells. Radiofrequency Microneedling helps reveal a smoother skin surface and brighter skin tone.

  • Diminishes the appearance of dark spots – Radiofrequency Microneedling can be used to minimize dark spots or hyperpigmentation of the skin, such as sunspots. The result is an even skin tone and a radiant glow.

  • Tightens the skin – Radiofrequency Microneedling penetrates deeper levels of the skin and stimulates collagen production. It will tighten and lift the skin, making it supple and firm.

  • Minimally invasive treatment – Radiofrequency Microneedling is less invasive than Botox, dermal fillers, and laser skin resurfacing. There is minimal discomfort and less recovery time so that you can go back to your regular activities after!

  • Long-lasting results – Radiofrequency Microneedling stimulates the body’s natural healing process, so it gives you longer-lasting results compared to other treatments.

  • The effects of RF Microneedling combines two clinically proven treatments– microneedling and minimally invasive radiofrequency treatment–to trigger collagen and elastin production, tighten fibers and contour fat.

    While ordinary microneedling can only target skin to a depth of 1.5 to 2 millimeters, RF Microneedling is tailored to each patient’s needs and the depths can be adjusted anywhere from 0.5mm to as deep as 8mm.

    This allows fat contouring at deeper depths while superficial depths target skin rejuvenation. RF Microneedling can treat the entire face and neck in one treatment, from delicate tissue around the eye to thicker skin around the neck and jawline. This results in firm, radiant skin.

  • Suitable for most men and women looking to reduce signs of aging without going under the knife. It is also suitable for all skin types, whether you have dry, normal, oily, or sensitive skin.

    Common complaints that can be addressed with RF Microneedling include neck and chin fullness, rough skin texture, large pores, acne scars, stretch marks, fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin.

  • We use a topical numbing cream to limit discomfort. On average, the treatment takes only 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete, reliant on the size of the treated area.

    Before your treatment, local anesthetic cream will be applied to the skin for 20 to 30 minutes. This is to minimize discomfort during the treatment process. During the procedure, a handheld device is pressed into the specified area of the skin, allowing microneedles to perforate the skin. Once the microneedles are in place, they generate radiofrequency (RF) waves to penetrate deep into the dermal layer. Since the needles are tiny, most patients tolerate the procedure well.

    This simple, safe treatment delivers excellent results for all skin types. You can expect mild redness and swelling immediately post procedure which tends to subside within 2-3 days.

  • RF Microneedling is a non-invasive procedure so there is little need for downtime or recovery. Immediately after your treatment, you will look and feel like you have a moderate sunburn, and your skin may feel warmer or tighter than usual.

    To aid the healing process, avoid exercising or strenuous activity for 24 hours post-treatment and do not apply makeup until 48 hours after the procedure. Throughout this time, reapply sunscreen and avoid intentional or direct sunlight.

    You can resume work or normal activities directly following treatment.

  • While every patient’s skin is unique, results can be seen in as few as 3 days with the most noticeable results appearing after 1 month.

    You may continue to see improvements months after treatment as it takes collagen up to 6 months to fully form. For best results, we recommend three treatments spaced out 4 to 6 weeks apart, although there is no upper limit on how many treatments you can have.
