Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cutting-edge facial aesthetics treatment that promises rejuvenated, youthful skin with little or no downtime for recovery. This minimally invasive procedure has gained immense popularity among individuals seeking to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars, and to improve overall skin texture and elasticity.
At its core, microneedling involves the use of a specialized device equipped with fine, sterile needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin. This controlled skin injury triggers the body’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen is the building block of healthy, firm skin, while elastin contributes to skin elasticity, ensuring a smooth, vibrant complexion. At our office, we provide Exion™ RF microneedling, which combines traditional microneedling techniques with radiofrequency energy to produce excellent results for your skin.
The procedure begins with a thorough consultation by our dentists and team to assess the patient’s skin concerns and determine if microneedling is the most suitable treatment option. Before the procedure, the skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure comfort. The microneedling device is then gently glided over the skin, and the ultrafine needle creates micro-channels that facilitate the deeper penetration of topical treatments, such as hyaluronic acid or vitamin C serums, enhancing their effectiveness. This needling is combined with a simultaneous delivery of controlled RF energy deep into the skin. By taking this dual-action approach, we enhance your body’s natural healing response, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin for firmer, smoother and more youthful-looking skin. Exion RF penetrates deeper layers of skin, making it an excellent option for reducing wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars and skin laxity to tighten, tone and refresh your skin.
Exion RF microneedling is lauded for its versatility, offering benefits for a wide range of skin types and concerns. It is particularly effective in addressing age-related issues, such as fine lines and wrinkles, by promoting a more youthful skin structure through increased collagen production. Additionally, it improves the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks by breaking down old scar tissue and encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin cells.
Post-treatment, patients may experience slight redness and swelling, akin to a mild sunburn, but these symptoms typically subside within a few days. The procedure requires minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities shortly after treatment. For optimal results, a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart is often recommended, with improvements visible after the first session and continuing to enhance over the following months as the skin produces more collagen.
