Microneedle Radiofrequency - Know Utility Of It!

Over the last few decades, the demand for aesthetic procedures has escalated. Everyone wants to look the best. The skin can be ravaged over time, with age, exposure to the sun and rising levels of pollution. More and more people are willing to undergo treatment using energy based devices.

What is microneedle radiofrequency treatment?

Many forms of laser treatment leave scars on the skin and also have long-term side effects. But, Microneedle radio frequency is a highly efficient way to treat acne, stretch marks and other skin disfigurements.

Microneedles are microscopic needles that can penetrate the skin up to a certain depth. Radio frequency devices employ insulated microneedles and radiofrequency energy to deliver heat to the dermis layer of the skin. This reduces the risk of damaging the epidermis of the skin because this technology offers greater depth control.

Scars and stretch marks can cause a variety of scars depending on the inflammation. These can include the atrophic scarring of the epidermis, ice pick scars, boxcar scars, rolling scars, etc. all of which can be treated with microneedle radio frequency. Treatment sessions of MNRF are spaced around 5 to 6 weeks. Usually, 4 to 5 sessions are required for smoothening of scars. In the case of stretch marks, it takes some more sittings.

What is the success rate of micro needle radio frequency treatment?

The amount of energy to be delivered depends on the severity of the scarring. Patients have reported improvement after just four sessions spaced out over four months. 85% of the people who undergo this procedure notice 75% improvement in acne scarring within months of the commencement of the procedure.

Why do doctors prescribe microneedle radiofrequency?

Microneedle radio frequency is a method preferable to other laser-guided technology because recovery does not take long and the risks of pigmentation, scarring and infection and the procedure can be conducted without anaesthesia. As the treatment is done inonPD basis under the effect of numbing gel, the person is discharged on the same day. Moreover, this procedure can be carried out on all skin types, even those that are highly sensitive.

The procedure is a safer alternative to laser treatments for scar and stretch marks leaving behind no post-inflammatory pigmentation.
