RF Microneedling in Elgin

RF microneedling is best for skin tightening and skin resurfacing. The radiofrequency energy helps address skin laxity concerns, while the microneedling itself triggers tissue rejuvenation.

RF microneedling results are progressive. As your skin starts producing new collagen and elastin, you’ll notice your results emerge in the weeks following each treatment session.

Downtime is minimal; your skin will be tender and have redness immediately after treatment for the first 24 hours, and may be sensitive for several days. We will provide you with aftercare instructions, but it is important to avoid direct sun exposure for the week after to protect your skin, and we always recommend wearing sunscreen to prolong your results.

RF microneedling can be a great alternative to laser treatments that are unsafe for tanned or deep skin tones. We can meet with you for a consultation to ensure your candidacy.

You shouldn’t experience any significant pain or irritation during your RF microneedling treatment. Before your session, we can apply a topical numbing ointment to minimize discomfort from the microneedles.We know that it can be difficult to find the time to come and receive the aesthetic treatments you deserve, so we want to make the procedure as convenient and pleasurable as possible.

Following your session, you may feel some soreness, but this should go away as your skin heals. Before you leave our clinic, our experts can make some recommendations on how to ease any soreness. Cold compresses are a great choice because some painkillers may affect the healing process, so be sure to ask our team members before taking any medication.

RF microneedling is an excellent choice for patients looking to reverse signs of aging and reduce symptoms like fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and more. But no treatment is perfect for everyone.

When you come to Dundee Dermatology, we want to make sure you get the most out of your treatment, which is why we require an in-person consultation. During this in-person meeting, our team members ask you about your goals and examine your skin concerns. Once we’ve gathered all the information we need, we can develop a treatment plan with your specific needs in mind. At Dundee Dermatology, we know that catered care is ideal care.

One of the best things about RF microneedling in Elgin is the lack of any serious downtime. Some aesthetic treatments require patients to spend weeks recovering, but this isn’t the case with RF microneedling.

You may experience some minor side effects, such as redness or swelling in the treatment area, in the days following your treatment session.. These side effects should be relatively minor and should abate on their own within a few days. You can always reach out to our team with any questions you have during the recovery process.

Radiofrequency (RF) energy is one of the most important parts of the RF microneedling process—after all, it’s in the name! But how exactly does it work to repair damaged skin?

As the energy penetrates the skin, it heats it up, which stimulates the body’s collagen and elastin production. Collagen and elastin are vital proteins in the body’s healing process. For example, if you get a paper cut, the body sends these proteins to the site of the injury to repair and revitalize the skin.

The same process is in place here. When we heat up the skin, we “trick” the body into sending healing proteins to the treatment area. This provides an effective solution for common aging symptoms, like acne scars, enlarged pores, and stretch marks.
