Skin Conditions Treated with Microneedling at Raleigh Laser & Aesthetics
Potenza radiofrequency microneedling is a solution tailored to individual needs and goals. Whether you want to tighten and firm your skin, reduce the prevalent signs of aging, or eliminate blemishes, a few treatments will unlock your skin’s full potential.
The Potenza RF microneedling treatment employs ultrafine needles and heat to penetrate the top layer of skin and stimulate the body’s natural healing process in order to regenerate new collagen and elastin. In contrast to other skin treatments, these can be conducted on ALL skin types and anywhere on the body.
RF Microneedling offers effective treatment for the following skin conditions:
-Acne and scars caused by acne
-age spots and sun damage
-stretch marks
-surgical scarring
-aging lines and wrinkles
RF Microneedling can provide the above benefits all while being cost-effective and minimally-invasive. There is essentially zero downtime with microneedling, and the only recovery period is a few hours of redness, maybe some swelling, and possibly slight discomfort to the treatment area. This is very temporary and natural, and you can quickly resume your normal routine.
The RF microneedling procedure begins with the application of a topical anesthetic ointment to reduce discomfort. Once the anesthetic cream has taken effect the treatment is initiated. The actual RF microneedling procedure is tailored to the patient’s skin type and problem areas. Patients with acne scars or deeper fine lines, for example, may require additional time and depth penetration.
Most individuals require between 3 and 5 procedures to fully optimize the effectiveness of the treatment. Each procedure generally takes under an hour, and recovery involves moisturizing and soothing the face for a few days afterward as the skin fully recovers.
