Radiofrequency by microneedling

What is microneedling?

C’est une technique innovante faite par un appareil qui introduit dans la peau les ondes électromagnétiques fractionnées par un applicateur muni de plusieurs micro-aiguilles. Ces ondes vont créer un échauffement dans le tissu de l’hypoderme à l’extrémité de chaque micro-aiguille.
Cette chaleur va raffermir et redensifier la peau relâchée en activant les fibroblastes des cellules qui synthétisent le collagène, l’élastine et l’acide hyaluronique présents naturellement dans l’organisme.

La radiofréquence par «microneedling» (Prolift/Morpheus8) se distingue par la profondeur réglable de ses micro-aiguilles, ce qui permet d'adapter l'énergie thermique selon la nature de la ride traitée : ridules superficielles ou rides plus profondes associées au relâchement cutané. Cette modulation est déterminée par nos professionnels de la clinique lors de chaque séance, en fonction de l'état de la peau et des objectifs thérapeutiques. Pour mieux comprendre les mécanismes à l'origine des rides et ridules, consultez la page consacrée aux rides et ridules.

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

La Prolift/Morpheus8, traitement de radiofréquence par «microneedling», agit sur les pores dilatés en délivrant une énergie thermique dans le derme et l'hypoderme à l'extrémité de chaque micro-aiguille, stimulant une production profonde de collagène autour des parois folliculaires. Ce remodelage dermique progressif contribue à resserrer les pores dilatés et à améliorer la texture de la peau au fil des séances, à mesure que les nouvelles fibres de collagène consolident les tissus environnants. Les résultats s'affirment graduellement dans les semaines suivant chaque traitement.

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 benefits of radio frequency microneedling

This innovative technology combines the benefits of microneedling with radiofrequency, taking skin rejuvenation to the next level.Different skin layers can be targeted for treatment customization and increased efficacy. With no downtime, patients can continue their daily activities immediately after treatment.

Advice from our medical aesthetics clinic:

BEFORE: Sun exposure prior to treatment is not recommended, nor is UV exposure.
It is advisable to take bromelain 4 days before the session to limit the after-effects
The treatment is carried out after application of an anaesthetic cream for 1 hour.
‍
DURING: The Morpheus8 session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes.
The patient feels a strong warming sensation made very comfortable by the prior application of an anaesthetic cream.
‍
AFTER: The patient feels the warming sensation for a few hours
Redness may persist for a few hours to a few days, depending on the skin
Edema may be present for a few days
Scabs are exceptionally visible
‍
FOLLOW-UP: You can resume your activities immediately
A repair cream may be applied to the skin for a few days
Exposure to the sun is not recommended for the first week. You must protect the skin from the sun with a sun protection factor 50+ for one month
Make-up is possible from the next day
It is essential to moisturize your skin and drink plenty of water.

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.
