RF Microneedling Procedure Technique

Most patients feel much more comfortable about the idea of RF microneedling once they fully understand it. Venus Versa RF microneedling is done with 160 sterile points that are attached to a handheld instrument. Dr. Ryan will place this instrument very gently over the skin. The points do not penetrate the skin. Instead, a pulse of radiofrequency is sent through all 160 points and creates micro-traumas about the size of a hair shaft deep into the skin. These tiny injuries to the tissues stimulate the production of your body's collagen (this technique is sometimes referred to as collagen-induction treatment). As the skin starts healing, new collagen and elastin growth explodes and this skin looks and feels more refreshed and youthful. Collagen and elastin are the structural elements of the skin we lose over time and due to stress that cause wrinkling, thinning, and sagging. It is an amazing and relatively comfortable procedure for full skin rejuvenation.

What to expect from your RF Microneedling Treatment

Depending on the area you are having treated, your session at Krch AESTHETIC MEDICINE could take 30-60 minutes. A numbing cream will be applied to your skin before your RF microneedling treatment. Dr. Ryan will apply the RF microneedling head to your skin fully treating the area. After your treatment, you may see micro-scabs at the treatment points but this usually disappears in 1-3 days. This evidence your new skin is forming. You should begin to see results approximately one month after your procedure with the max effect seen at about 3 months and lasting for 6-12 months.

Venus Versa RF's microneedles deliver radiofrequency (RF) energy to the deep layers of the skin. This treatment is safe and effective for all skin types and tones, and it has almost zero downtime. To achieve the best results, Dr. Ryan suggests at least 3 RF treatments 1 month apart. You will start to be able to see results after your second session, but your outcome won't become visible for about three months after your last session. RF microneedling is typically combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) for an even more amazing result.
