Treatment Plan and Sessions

For optimal results, most patients require 3 to 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. This schedule allows collagen production and skin healing to progress naturally between treatments. During your consultation, our specialists will create a personalized plan based on your skin type and beauty goals.

When Can You See Results?

You may start noticing initial improvements in your skin’s texture and tone within a few days to a week after your first session. However, the most dramatic results will typically appear about 3 months after the final treatment, as collagen production and skin remodeling continue. With each session, improvements become more visible, leading to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

 Side Effects of Radiofrequency Microneedling

While radiofrequency microneedling is a safe and effective treatment, some patients may experience temporary side effects, including:

•  Redness: Mild redness at the treatment site is common and typically subsides within 1 to 3 days.
• Swelling: Slight swelling can occur but usually resolves quickly.
• Mild discomfort: Some patients report a tingling or warm sensation during and after the procedure.
• Pinprick marks: The tiny microneedle punctures may leave small marks that fade within a few days.
• Scabbing or peeling: As your skin heals, you may experience minor scabbing or peeling, which typically clears up within a week.

Rare side effects can include:

• Hyperpigmentation or discoloration: This is uncommon and usually temporary, especially when proper post-care is followed.
• Bumps or grid marks: Rarely, some patients may experience bumps or a grid-like texture on the skin, which usually fades over time.
• Infection: While rare, improper aftercare can lead to infection at the treatment site.

It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your provider to minimize these side effects and ensure optimal healing. If you have concerns, consult with your provider immediately.

After care

It is important to follow a proper aftercare routine to ensure optimal healing and results. Here are some key tips:

• Gentle Cleansing: Use a mild, soap-free cleanser to wash your face twice daily. Avoid scrubbing or using harsh products.
• Moisturizing: Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer, preferably one with hyaluronic acid, to keep your skin hydrated.
• Sun Protection: Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun, so apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 35 or higher. Avoid direct sun exposure and wear protective clothing like a wide-brimmed hat2.
• Avoid Makeup: Refrain from using makeup for at least 24 to 72 hours post-treatment. When you do start using makeup again, opt for non-comedogenic products.
• No Harsh Treatments: Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, and any other potentially irritating products for at least two weeks.
• Stay Cool: Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous activities that cause sweating for at least three days.
• Ice Packs: Use ice packs to reduce swelling and discomfort if needed.
• Avoid Alcohol and Blood Thinners: Refrain from consuming red wine and blood thinners for 48-72 hours.

Following these guidelines will help your skin heal properly and maximize the benefits of your RF microneedling
