Microneedling with Radiofrequency + PRF
(Steps 1 & 3 of our Bright & Tight treatment)
Microneedling uses bi-polar, RF energy alongside minimally invasive micro-needles to facilitate effective, non-surgical, skin tightening with little to no downtime. During the treatment, heat is driven deep within the skin layers to stimulate and remodel collagen and cause elastin cells to regenerate. This results in a firmer, smoother, and more consistent skin surface.
After your treatment, we will draw your blood and spin it down to collect your body’s own platelet rich fibrin (PRF). This will be applied topically to the skin to accelerate the healing response by using your bodies own growth factors. Increase hydration 72 hours prior to your appointment for optimal results.
This treatment has very minimal downtime. Typically the treatment area is red for only a few hours after the session and makeup can be worn the next day.
