Microneedling RF
Secret by Cutera
Microneedling RF is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling and radiofrequency energy. The treatment creates microchannels in the skin that stimulate collagen and elastin production, while delivering radiofrequency energy to deeper skin layers to tighten the skin. Microneedling RF can improve fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and sagging skin. The treatment is safe and effective for all skin types and may require multiple sessions. Patients may experience some redness and mild swelling, but there is no downtime.
What is microneedling RF, and how does it work?

How long does a microneedling RF treatment take?
The duration of a microneedling RF treatment depends on the size of the treatment area and the severity of the skin concerns being addressed. Typically, a single session takes between 30 minutes to an hour to complete.
During the treatment, a handheld device is used to create microchannels in the skin while delivering radiofrequency energy. The number of passes with the device depends on the specific needs of the patient, and this may impact the duration of the treatment.
After the treatment, some redness and mild swelling may occur, which typically resolve within a few hours to a few days. Patients can return to their regular activities immediately after the treatment.
It's important to note that multiple sessions of microneedling RF are usually required to achieve optimal results, with most patients seeing noticeable improvements after three to six sessions. The treatment sessions are typically spaced four to six weeks apart, allowing time for the skin to fully heal and for collagen production to occur.
What are the possible side effects of microneedling RF?
Possible side effects of microneedling RF may include redness, swelling, and mild discomfort immediately following the treatment. In rare cases, patients may experience bruising, infection, or scarring. These side effects are typically mild and temporary, and most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment. As with any cosmetic treatment, it is essential to follow proper aftercare instructions to minimize the risk of complications. It is recommended to discuss any concerns or potential side effects with a skincare professional prior to undergoing the treatment.
How many treatments are typically required for optimal results?
The number of treatments required for optimal results varies depending on the individual and the severity of their concerns. Generally, 3-6 treatments are recommended.
Are there any post-treatment care instructions I should follow?
-
Avoid sun exposure: Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 24 hours after the treatment, as this can increase the risk of skin damage and hyperpigmentation.
-
Avoid makeup and skincare products: Avoid using makeup and skincare products for at least 24 hours after the treatment, as the skin may be sensitive and more susceptible to irritation.
-
Avoid excessive sweating: Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sweating for at least 24 to 48 hours after the treatment, as this can increase the risk of infection.
-
Use gentle cleansers: Use only gentle cleansers and lukewarm water to cleanse the treated area for the first few days after the treatment.
-
Moisturize: Use a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated and help promote healing.
-
Follow up with your skincare professional: Follow up with your skincare professional to discuss any concerns or questions you may have, and to schedule any recommended follow-up treatments.
It is important to note that these are general guidelines, and specific post-treatment care instructions may vary depending on the individual's skin concerns and the treatment plan. It is essential to follow the advice of your skincare professional to achieve the best possible results.
