RadioFrequency with Microneedling
RadioFrequency with Microneedling
RadioFrequency with Microneedling delivers RF energy deep within the dermis to promote collagen synthesis, tighten the superficial layer of the skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite. It is used in combination with other treatments to eradicate cellulite in Dr Sebagh's exclusive Body Perfecting Treatment.
Treatment FAQs
RadioFrequency with Microneedling, (sometimes known as Morpheus8 Body) offers a skin-tightening and firming procedure designed to diminish the appearance of skin laxity and cellulite while enhancing the tightness of both the skin and the subdermal tissue. When applied to the body, it can also aid in reducing fat volume.
RadioFrequency with Microneedling utilizes advanced RF technology which is administered into the dermal and subdermal layers of the skin through very fine microneedles. This process generates micro-injuries and heats beneath the skin's surface. This triggers the skin's fibroblast cells to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, while at deeper settings it may lead to a reduction in fat volume. As a result, the skin experiences a tightening and lifting effect, leading to improved skin quality and enhanced elasticity over a period of 3-6 months following the treatment.
Radiofrequency with Microneedling offers a range of significant advantages, including skin tightening, lifting, improvement in skin texture, and the reduction of skin laxity. This innovative treatment can also target small areas of excess fat.
In comparison to alternative methods such as ablative skin resurfacing (like fractional laser), RadioFrequency with Microneedling boasts several additional benefits. These include more precise control over the depth of skin treatment for achieving deeper subdermal tightening and a reduced risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
For optimal results, we typically recommend a series of three to four sessions, spaced one month apart. However, since everyone's skin is unique, there's also the option of additional sessions six months later if recommended by your doctor.
RadioFrequency with Microneedling is a biostimulation treatment that harnesses your body's natural repair mechanisms to produce its effects. The timeline for achieving the ultimate results typically spans from 3 to 6 months, primarily determined by the collagen and elastin production capacity of your own fibroblast cells. Generally, individuals can expect to notice mild improvements around the third to fourth month, with the final results typically becoming visible around the sixth month following the last treatment session.
RF Microneedling treatment is very well tolerated by most patients with topical anaesthetic cream and sometimes requires the use of over-the-counter pain medication one hour before treatment.
Immediately after the procedure there will be slight redness, or red squares and possibly minimal swelling, all of which should resolve either within a few hours or occasionally a few days. Despite the redness, you can resume normal activity immediately after treatment.
