What is RF Microneedling?

RF microneedling is an innovative treatment that blends the benefits of microneedling with the power of radiofrequency energy to enhance skin rejuvenation. Devices such as the Morpheus8 are designed to treat the skin through two key mechanisms. Microneedling involves creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine needles, which stimulates the body’s natural healing process. When combined with radiofrequency (RF) energy, as in RF microneedling, these needles also deliver thermal energy to the deeper layers of the skin, amplifying the benefits.

This heat triggers a faster regeneration of skin cells and increases collagen and elastin production, the key proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. The dual-action approach of RF and microneedling helps to restructure the skin from within and is highly effective in treating skin laxity on both the face and body.

Additionally, the adjustable depth of the needles enables providers to precisely target specific areas, including deeper layers of skin and fat tissue, which can further enhance the slimming and tightening effect. When the RF energy interacts with fat cells, it promotes the breakdown of fat, adding another dimension to the overall results. At Parie MedSpa, we use the Morpheus8 to ensure our clients experience optimal skin renewal and tightening, customized to their individual needs.

The Device

The Morpheus8 stands out as a highly effective and safe option for minimizing fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around sensitive areas like the eyes and forehead. Thanks to its ultra-thin needles and customizable features, the device offers a tailored approach to each patient’s needs. By adjusting needle depths and settings, our providers at Parie MedSpa can craft personalized treatment plans that address individual skin concerns. For instance, deeper needle settings can target and reduce excess fat in specific areas, while shallower settings are perfect for treating surface-level issues like fine lines.

One of the key benefits of RF microneedling with the Morpheus8 is its versatility. It is suitable for all skin types and tones, making it a go-to solution for a diverse range of patients seeking rejuvenation and revitalization.

Initial Consultation at Parie MedSpa

During your personalized consultation at Parie MedSpa, you will meet with our dedicated team of experts. We will begin by reviewing your medical history and performing a thorough physical evaluation to identify the best treatment plan tailored to your needs. Your provider will ask about your skin type, lifestyle, and any specific concerns, ensuring the procedure is customized to achieve the best possible outcome. This is also a time to address any questions or concerns you may have so that you feel fully informed and confident moving forward.

During the consultation, your provider will:

  • Discuss the benefits of Morpheus8
  • Review any potential risks of the procedure
  • Determine if you are a suitable candidate for RF microneedling
  • Assess if combining other treatments with RF microneedling could further enhance your results
Preparation

Before undergoing Morpheus8 treatments, there are a few important steps to ensure your skin is well-prepared for the procedure. To optimize your results, please avoid the following:

  • Exposure to the Sun: Consistently use sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage in the days leading up to your RF microneedling session.
  • Skin Care Product Use: Refrain from using retinoids, exfoliants, and other strong topical creams to prevent unnecessary irritation or potential harm to your skin.
  • NSAIDs: Avoid anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen and aspirin, as these can thin the blood and increase the likelihood of bruising.
  • Grooming Notes: Do not shave, wax, bleach, or tweeze thetreatment area before your appointment to avoid irritation.

RF Microneedling Treatment Process

When you arrive for your RF microneedling treatment, your provider will begin by thoroughly cleansing the treatment area. A topical anesthetic is then applied, which takes about 30-45 minutes to take effect, ensuring you are as comfortable as possible during the procedure. For additional comfort, Pro-Nox (laughing gas) is also available as a complimentary option.

The Morpheus8 device is then gently passed over the treatment area, with the needles penetrating the skin at predetermined depths. These needles deliver radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process and promoting collagen production.

Once the treatment is complete, a soothing solution is applied to the skin to minimize any discomfort. The entire procedure is relatively quick, with the actual RF microneedling taking around 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. The time for the anesthetic to take effect extends the total session length slightly.

Recovery & Results

After your RF microneedling session with Morpheus8, you can resume work and most daily activities immediately. However, it's common to experience some temporary swelling and redness in the treated areas. To minimize these effects, your provider may suggest applying ice. It’s crucial to wear sun protection when exposed to direct sunlight, as your skin will be especially sensitive following the procedure. To further protect your skin, use a gentle cleanser, and avoid applying makeup until the day after treatment to reduce the risk of irritation.

As your treatment progresses, you’ll notice significant improvements in skin radiance. Scars and fine lines gradually fade as collagen production works to rejuvenate the skin from within. For the most effective results, a series of three Morpheus8 treatments spaced about four weeks apart is typically recommended. This schedule allows your skin ample time to heal and regenerate between sessions.

Corresponding Treatment

Dermaplaning

If you're seeking a non-invasive way to resurface your skin, dermaplaning could be an excellent alternative. This procedure uses a specialized tool to gently remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz, leaving the skin smoother and brighter without causing irritation. Dermaplaning is a quick and safe solution for dull skin and can replace more intensive treatments like chemical peels or microdermabrasion.

Cost of RF Microneedling Treatments

The cost of RF microneedling treatments can vary significantly based on individual factors, including the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions required to achieve your desired results. During your initial consultation, your provider will go over your personalized treatment plan, detailing the number of sessions recommended, and provide you with an estimated cost based on your specific needs and goals.

FAQ

How long does it take to see the results of RF microneedling?

While some initial improvements can be noticed within the first few weeks, it generally takes around 6 weeks for the full effects of RF microneedling to become visible. The production of new collagen and elastin continues long after the treatment, so you’ll notice ongoing improvements with each additional session. Maximum results are often seen several months after the final treatment in your series.

How often should I get RF microneedling treatments for optimal results?

For optimal results, RF microneedling is typically done once a month. This timing allows for the natural cycle of collagen production, which takes around 28 days to start showing its effects. To achieve the best long-term outcomes, a series of at least three treatments is recommended, spaced four weeks apart. This gives the skin enough time to heal and regenerate between sessions, ensuring gradual, yet significant improvement.

When can I come back to maintain my results after finishing my treatment plan?

After completing your initial treatment series, most patients return for maintenance treatments about 12 to 18 months later. This helps to sustain the skin’s rejuvenation, as collagen continues to develop and support the skin’s structure over time. Periodic touch-up treatments help prolong the effects, ensuring your skin remains firm, smooth, and radiant for longer.

Which age should I be before RF microneedling?

Morpheus8 treatments are suitable for individuals starting in their mid-20s and older. Younger patients may seek the procedure to address early signs of aging, such as fine lines or enlarged pores, while older patients benefit from the tightening and rejuvenating effects on deeper wrinkles and sagging skin. RF microneedling is effective at any age, making it a versatile treatment for a wide range of skin concerns.
