Microneedling with radio frequency (RF) is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment in Tampa involving the use of a specialized cosmetic device. The tip of the device consists of multiple small, sterile needles, which puncture the skin, causing microinjuries. At the same time, radiofrequency heat is delivered via the tiny needles into underlying skin structures. The microwounds and controlled thermal damage work to trigger the body’s wound-healing response to produce new collagen, restoring firmer, smoother skin over time. Microneedling with radiofrequency can be perfect for addressing skin concerns like: Enlarged pores Acne scars Injury and surgery scars Uneven skin texture Fine lines Wrinkles Stretch marks

While laser hair removal can lead to long-lasting hair reduction, it is not considered a completely permanent solution. The treatment can significantly reduce hair growth, resulting in a significant reduction in the thickness and density of hair in the treated areas. However, some individuals may experience regrowth over time, although it is often finer and lighter in color. Periodic maintenance sessions may be needed to maintain the desired results.

Laser hair removal can be ideal for people who are tired of having to frequently shave, wax, and pluck to eliminate hair in common problem areas such as the:

•  Face 
• Legs 
• Back 
• Chest 
• Underarms 
• Bikini area 

Laser hair removal is not recommended on the eyelids or near the eye. You also should not have laser hair removal where you have tattoos. The experts at Cell Renew are able to perform laser hair removal on patients of most skin types and tones. However, this treatment is ideal for patients with dark hair and light skin due to the contrasting colors. Because lighter hair, like gray or blonde, has less melanin, it does not respond as well to laser hair removal treatments.

You won’t need to stay at our med spa for recovery once this procedure is complete, so you can head right home or back to work. Some patients experience minor bleeding or swelling for the next day or two. Because your skin may be extra sensitive, use sunblock (30 SPF or higher) and do not apply makeup until these post-treatment effects subside. 

Some patients notice initial improvements within a week or two. However, it will take four to six weeks to start to see the benefits of increased collagen production. Ongoing improvements will continue for several weeks. The full effect of your microneedling with RF treatment in Tampa can be expected after about six months.
