Rejuvenate Your Skin With RF Microneedling

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling can tighten and rejuvenate the face by removing damaged skin and stimulating the growth of collagen and elastin, proteins that give the skin its vibrance. If you want facial rejuvenation, microneedling in Boulder can give the skin a new youthful radiance through a minimally invasive process.

What Is RF Microneedling and How Does It Work?

RF microneedling combines two effective treatments into one powerful solution for correcting skin imperfections. Tiny needles puncture the skin and create small wounds in the internal skin layer (dermis). The needles then release radiofrequency energy into these wounds that heat the dermis and invigorate the production of collagen and elastin, compounds that tighten the skin as the wounds naturally heal. The result is smoother, firmer, gorgeous skin that looks good for years to come because the restructuring is initiated from the inside out.

Can RF Microneedling in Boulder Be Combined with Other Skin Treatments?

Certainly! Certain individuals may consider exploring supplementary treatments or procedures to enhance the advantages of their RF Microneedling in Boulder, including:

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty aims to rejuvenate the upper eyelids for a brighter appearance, addressing concerns such as drooping or puffiness that affect facial expressiveness. Factors like aging and stress contribute to these changes, impacting overall facial aesthetics.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye conditions caused by stress, aging, or genetics by tightening skin, removing excess fat, and adjusting tissues through hidden incisions, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels can revitalize your skin, tailored to your unique needs and concerns. These versatile treatments offer a personalized approach to skincare, targeting issues such as fine lines, acne scars, and overall complexion refreshment.

Dermal Fillers

A dermal filler is a cosmetic injectable substance used to add volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours by filling in wrinkles, folds, or hollow areas of the skin. It typically consists of hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials that are injected beneath the skin's surface to achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

Mechanical Microneedling 

Similar to the results seen with SkinPen, Mechanical microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a motorized pen equipped with fine needles to create small channels in the skin. These micro-channels trigger the skin’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production.

Can Microneedling Handle Acne Scars?

Studies have shown that microneedling can potentially help reduce the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture. This treatment involves creating tiny injuries in the skin, which can lead to noticeable improvements in various types of acne scars, such as rolling, boxcar, and ice pick scars. While individual results may vary, combining microneedling with other treatments or undergoing multiple sessions may enhance its effectiveness.

Patient Testimonial

Dr. Cox is simply amazing!! I have done multiple services with her including, fillers, botox, CO2 laser resurfacing, Targeted plasma pen, PDO threading and microneedling. Prior to these treatments I had never had any aesthetic services or a proper skincare routine. She explained everything in great detail and I knew I was in skilled hands. My skin has never been healthier!! I live in Florida where she previously practiced and will be traveling to Colorado to continue treatments with her. She is a stunning person inside and out. I HIGHLY recommend her for your aesthetic and oculoplastic needs. You will not be disappointed.

What are the risks of Microneedling?

Some potential side effects may include:

  • Bleeding or scabbing at the targeted areas
  • Bruising
  • Redness
  • Itching
  • Swelling
  • Discoloration

While the risks to this procedure are minimal, the best way to avoid any side effects is to follow Dr. Cox’s suggestions before and after treatment and to avoid taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications for at least two weeks prior.

How many treatments will I need?

While every patient is different, some may require 2-3 treatments to get the desired results. Dr. Cox takes an honest approach to her practice, so you can feel confident that she will give you an accurate assessment and create a strategic treatment plan to achieve the results you desire. A booster treatment every 3-6 months is recommended and will address any recurring effects of aging. Furthermore, maintenance sessions keep the skin active and vibrant.

What is the difference between RF and regular Microneedling?

The main difference between RF microneedling and microneedling is the addition of radiofrequency energy. Microneedling creates tiny injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen and improve texture. RF Microneedling adds radiofrequency energy for deeper skin tightening and enhanced collagen remodeling, making it more effective for sagging skin and deeper wrinkles.

Is there anything I should do for Post-Care of my Microneedling?

Please see our Post-Care Instructions for RF Microneedling here.

How long does RF microneedling last?

The duration of results from RF microneedling can vary depending on factors such as individual skin type, treatment settings, and the specific concerns being addressed. Generally, results can last anywhere from 6 months to over a year. However, maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the desired outcomes over time.

Can I get PRP with Microneedling?

Combining PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) with microneedling enhances skin rejuvenation by utilizing the healing properties of PRP with the collagen-stimulating effects of microneedling. The procedure begins with drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, which is then processed to extract PRP. Concurrently, microneedling creates micro-injuries on the skin, promoting collagen production. PRP is applied to the treated area, allowing deeper penetration through the micro-channels. This combination accelerates healing, improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and diminishes scars. Post-treatment care includes avoiding sun exposure and using gentle skincare products to optimize results

Can RF Microneedling treat Melasma?

According to studies, RF Microneedling has shown potential in assisting with Melasma. For personalized advice regarding Melasma, please consult directly with Dr. Kyle Cox during your initial consultation.
