RF Microneedling & Skin Tightening in Tampa, FL

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

The majority of patients in Tampa who undergo microneedling with radiofrequency report minimal discomfort. Some patients describe microneedling with radiofrequency as feeling like warm sandpaper is being lightly rubbed across their skin. To ensure we maximize your comfort and care, we'll administer a topical numbing cream before beginning your microneedling with radiofrequency treatment. Once that takes effect, our skincare expert will move the device across the treatment area, creating microchannels in the skin and delivering RF energy.

Most adults who are in good health and want to rid themselves of those pesky problems above are good candidates in Tampa for microneedling with radiofrequency! Our skincare expert will examine your skin and ask you some questions about your medical history and current medications to determine if this treatment is right for you. Alternative skin rejuvenation procedures will be discussed with those who are not suitable candidates for microneedling with radiofrequency, such as pregnant women, those who take blood-thinning medications, and those with certain dermatological and medical conditions.

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.
