Radiofrequency microneedling

What is microneedling?

This innovative technique uses a device that introduces fractionated electromagnetic waves into the skin via an applicator equipped with several micro-needles. These waves will create heat in the hypodermis tissue at the tip of each micro-needle.
This heat will firm and redensify sagging skin by activating fibroblasts, the cells that synthesize collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid naturally present in the body.

When to consider microneedling

This technology can be used on the face, neck and décolleté to :

• Erase acne and hypertrophic scars
• Reduce brown age spots
• Redensify wrinkled skin
• Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduce double chin
• Treat sagging skin on the neck and face

How does our medical aesthetics clinic do it?

After disinfecting the area to be treated, the practitioner prepares the area. An anaesthetic cream is applied for comfort during the session.
Once the anaesthetic is in place, the practitioner marks out the treatment area with a marker and sterile drapes.
The practitioner sets the treatment parameters and places the applicator directly on the patient's skin. The practitioner moves the applicator as he/she goes along throughout the treatment, to ensure that the area to be treated is well squared.

The results you can expect from our medical aesthetics clinic:

The results after the session appear progressively over the following weeks as the body produces collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. The skin becomes more toned. It appears smoother and regains its elasticity. Missing volumes are recreated and the skin is deeply repaired.
A complete treatment may require 3 to 4 sessions spaced 3 weeks apart, depending on the condition of the skin.
Results last several years and may vary from one patient to another.
