Microneedle Fractional Radiofrequency Skin Younger

What is Fractional Radiofrequency?

Fractional radiofrequency is a newer, safer technology which delivers radio frequency in multiple minuscule beams leading to “fractional” heat zones, leaving the normal tissue in between the heated zones for shorter recovery time. Our Microneedle Fractional RF system offers Fractional RF, Monopolar and Bipolar RF settings with two treatment options; invasive Microneedle Fractional Radiofrequency MFR and noninvasive Superficial Fractional Radiofrequency SFR

How Does MFR work For Non-surgical Skin Tightening And Scar Reduction?

The Microneedle Fractional Radiofrequency (MFR) or injectable fractional radiofrequency treatment, delivers radio frequency energy via microneedles below the skin surface in multiple minuscule beams leading to “fractional” heat zones, leaving the normal tissue in between the heated zones for shorter recovery time. This treatment helps generate collagen in two ways; The microneedles cause mico-injuries in the deeper dermis which your body heals with collagen production. The fractional radiofrequency heats up the deeper dermis in 360 degrees around each microneedle tip for further collagen tightening and synthesis. Our injectable RF system uses gold plated and insulated needles for minimum injury to the skin surface for little or no downtime.

What Are The Side Effects Of MFR Non-surgical Skin Tightening Treatment?

There is some discomfort associated with the procedure which is minimized with the use of topical numbing creme prior to the treatment. There may be mild to moderate redness which in most cases is resolved in 1 to 3 days. The area treated is sensitive and may be tender to touch for 3 to 5 days after the treatment. Occasionally there may be bruising from the treatment which can take 10-14 days to completely resolve. There is a small risk of skin infection in spite of adequate precautions. We urge you to contact us immediately for any signs of infection (excessive redness, tenderness, swelling). There is a risk of activation of Herpes Simplex (cold sores). Let us know if you have a history of cold sores so we can provide you a prescription for cold sore prophylaxis.

Although very rare, there may be dimpled scarring and hyperpigmentation following this treatment.

What Are The Contraindications Of MFR Non-surgical Skin Tightening Treatment?

Keloid scarring, eczema, active infections, actinic keratosis, History of Herpes simplex, chronic skin conditions, use of aspirin or other NSAIDS.

Absolute contraindications: Cardiac abnormalities, use of certain blood thinning medications, immune suppression, scleroderma, collagen vascular disease, recent scars (less than 6 months old), pregnancy, lactation.

Is Use Of Radiofrequency In Medicine Safe?

Radio frequency RF energy has been used in medicine in various applications for many decades safely and effectively.

Non-ablative RF was FDA approved for treatment of wrinkles and skin tightening in 2002.

Radio frequency essentially heats up the skin causing a controlled “burn” which triggers the skin’s healing response, eventually minimizing wrinkles, scars and tightening the skin in two distinct ways:

Immediate collagen contraction visible at the time of the treatment.

New collagen production and remodeling with further skin thickening and tightening which continues for months after treatment.
