Traditional microneedling involves multiple fine needles that are inserted into the skin, creating micro-wounds. When your body senses that you have injuries, even ones these small, one of the first responses is collagen generation.
This protein helps keep your skin firm and voluminous. Unfortunately, its production slows down with age. By creating these tiny wounds, you force your body to continue creating collagen. Microneedling also helps rejuvenate damaged or wrinkled skin by triggering your other healing responses, bringing newer, healthier skin to the surface.
Adding radiofrequency (RF) energy to the treatment only makes the collagen production rate increase even more. The handheld device emits RF energy from its tip while the needles are still inside your skin. This creates thermal responses in your skin’s fat cells. Not only does it make room for more collagen, but also triggers your body’s rejuvenation response. In essence, you are doubling your sources of collagen production when you come in for RF microneedling in Port St. Lucie.
