Surrey RF microneedling for collagen induction therapy

RF microneedling treatments in Surrey (near Vancouver), can create noticeable results for those looking to treat:

• Sagging skin (laxity of the skin)
• Stretch marks
• Wrinkles
• Acne and acne scars
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Under eye circles
• Rosacea or other pigmentation issues
• Keloids

While RF microneedling is most often used on the face and neck, it can be used on all parts of the body.

Before the session, we’ll apply a numbing cream to the treatment area.

Using the handpiece noted above, a technician will go over the treatment area with 3 passes.

The first pass will create the deepest penetration, followed by a mid-level pass, and finishing off with a more shallow pass. This way, more of the skin is treated, without going over the heated zones twice (which can otherwise be more painful).

The entire face can take 45 – 60 minutes to treat with Infini RF™. The face, neck and chest can take between 60 to 90 minutes. Additional time is needed for numbing.

During RF microneedling treatments, you may feel some discomfort. However, most people find it tolerable. Some have described it as a snapping or stinging sensation.

A topical anaesthetic may be used, if necessary.

The number of RF microneedling treatments needed to see results can vary from person-to-person. Results can depend on:

• The specific skin condition being treated
• The severity of the case
• Individual response to treatment
• Lifestyle habits (e.g. smoking, sun exposure, skin routines)

And more.

Generally speaking, it is often recommended to undergo 3 to 4 RF microneedling treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

At our clinic, we require a minimum of 3 treatments, since desired results are highly unlikely with any fewer. Patients with deep acne scars may need at least 4 to 6 treatments, if not more.

Thereafter, we recommend maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months.

Results will be most visible 6 to 12 months after an initial treatment series. Though, skin is expected to gradually improve for up to a year.

Downtime with RF microneedling is minimal. Some may experience redness, peeling and acne breakouts during the healing process. The initial side effects usually last about 2 – 7 days, and can feel like a bad sunburn.

To help ease irritation, pre and post treatment care may include specific skin care products to promote faster healing. You may also be asked to avoiding anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen, blood-thinners. This includes over-the-counter painkillers, herbal supplements (like garlic) or alcohol.

RF microneedling can not be done on those who have a pacemaker, or who take blood thinners.

Since this treatment is customized for each patient, an accurate cost of treatment requires an in-person consultation.

Please note: at our clinic, we do not offer a package of less than 3 treatments for Infini RF™ microneedling, since it is highly unlikely you’ll see results with only 1 or 2.
