WHAT IS RADIOFREQUENCY MICRONEEDLING?
​
If you are asking "what should I be doing" for my skin, this is your answer! (one of them)
​
We know that aging is a multimodal complex process and the most visible sign is the aging of the skin itself. Collagen is decreasing starting in our 20s and becomes clinically evident starting in our 30s. Radiofrequency microneedling can help. After topical numbing of the skin, tiny needles in an array arrangement are stamped into the skin at precise depths which are adjusted to create a custom treatment based on the condition and anatomy of the skin. Typically, the treatment will be done with three passes as three different depths, fine-tuning the intensity of the radiofrequency energy and time duration of the coagulation for each pass. Addition of PRP, growth factors, Sculptra, or exosomes enhance the results further.
​​
While we may not be able to stop the aging process, we can help slow down the process. Radiofrequency microneedling is ideal for combating some of our most common aging conditions. This fractional treatment stimulates collagen production for better skin support while helping to smooth out the texture of the skin.
By targeting the deeper layers of the skin,the skin’s own building blocks will reorganize themselves in a natural anti-aging process leaving you with smoother, firmer skin. This treatment is ideal for multiple areas of the body as well as the face. Some areas of concern that are treatable include the arms, stomach, and those aging knees.
​
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?
Depending on the condition of the area to be treated, 1-3 treatments are usually recommended. These can be scheduled as a series of three spaced one month apart. Most clients notice a difference in their skin after the first few weeks, making it an ideal treatment before an event. The best thing about this procedure is that the results will continue to improve over the next 6 months.
WHAT IS MORPHEUS?
​
The Morpheus is a brand of radiofrequency microneedling that provides a bipolar radiofrequency energy in conjunction with microneedling. The Morpheus device heats to a depth of up to 7mm allowing the device to be used effectively on other parts of the body as well. The radiofrequency energy is creating a fractional coagulation of the skin through the dermis to the subcutaneous tissue just below.

WHAT IS VIVACE?
​
The Vivace is a brand of radiofrequency microneedling, This minimally invasive treatment works to improve fine lines and facial wrinkles by stimulating the natural production of collagen. Radiofrequency energy is released as the microneedling tip stamps over the skin, and the treatment is very comfortable with minimal discomfort and minimal downtime.
