Why Everyone is Raving About Radiofrequency Microneedling
Do you have acne or other scars that mar your appearance? Perhaps you wish you could reduce the appearance of those stretch marks from your pregnancy.
If you’re over 40, you may be bothered by loose skin and that “crepey” look on your underarms or above your knees. Aging causes changes in your skin’s tone and texture. As you get older, your skin doesn’t produce as much collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep it smooth when you’re young.
Modern technology now makes it possible to turn back the hands of time and give you smoother, younger skin.Sherri Casey, MD,withNorthshore Skincarein Covington, Louisiana, usesradiofrequency microneedlingto rejuvenate your skin and smooth out scars and other skin imperfections.
WHAT IS RADIOFREQUENCY MICRONEEDLING?
Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a recent skin care advancement that combines radio wave technology with microneedling.Microneedlingmakes very fine punctures in a targeted area of the skin via tiny needles to smooth out loose skin and skin imperfections and create an even skin surface and firmer skin.
RF technology moves energy via radio waves. Theenergy produced via radiofrequencyheats the skinbeyond the area where the needles are penetrating. Your skin constricts so that loose skin becomes firmer and tighter.
