Radio Frequency Microneedling in McLean
RF Micro-needling creates microchannels and releases RF energy deep into the dermal (Dermis) layer of the skin to trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response.
The treatment stimulates fibroblast cells which creates collagen providing dramatic skin tightening and skin rejuvenation.
The micro-needles precisely deliver the RF energy into the dermis tissue bypassing the superficial skin layer (Epidermis) because of this there is virtually no thermal damage to the skin’s surface therefore very little risk of causing PIH Post Inflammatory hyperpigmentation (brown spots) which is why it is safe to use on all skin types and skin colors.
