Microneedling with Radio Frequency

Radiofrequency microneedling is a combination of two powerful cosmetic procedures, including:

Microneedling

In microneedling, a tightly clustered group of short needles creates tiny punctures in the skin. The needles stimulate an element of your skin called fibroblasts — the cells that create collagen and elastin.

Collagen keeps your skin plump and firm, while elastin keeps your skin tight. Unfortunately, you lose both as you age. Microneedling promotes new collagen and elastin growth, which corrects the signs of aging and many other skin concerns as well.

Radiofrequency (RF) energy

RF, like microneedling, stimulates collagen and elastin growth. In microneedling with radiofrequency, the radiofrequency energy moves through special hollow needles to reach your fibroblasts, where the energy transforms to heat. The heat amplifies the effects of microneedling, and also causes skin contractions and immediate skin tightening.

This blend of two powerful skin enhancement treatments is one of the most popular methods of skin rejuvenation.

Microneedling with radiofrequency can rejuvenate your skin in multiple ways. It’s highly effective for the treatment of:

• Lines and wrinkles

• Sun damage, such as sun spots and age spots

• Skin laxity

• Rough skin texture

• Acne scars

• Large pores

Whether you have one specific skin concern or you’re looking for overall skin rejuvenation, microneedling with radiofrequency can be an effective way to get clear, tight, and youthful skin without surgery.

Radiofrequency microneedling can also help with hair loss and thinning.

Microneedling is an effective treatment that can bring you great results over time. Adding radiofrequency to the treatment may give you more dramatic results than you’d experience with microneedling alone.

One of the most significant differences between microneedling and radiofrequency microneedling is the customization aspect. The Central Utah Dermatology team can control both the needle depth and the level of radiofrequency energy during your treatment, allowing for a more tailored experience and results.

If you’re seeking youthful-looking and smooth skin, microneedling with radiofrequency can provide impressive results without cosmetic surgery.

An intense pulsed light (IPL) photofacial is a type of cosmetic dermatology that uses light therapy to improve skin tone, getting rid of brown spots, red marks, and visible veins.

The light therapy works by targeting, heating, and destroying the pigmented cells under the skin. The damaged cells rise to the surface of your skin and create a temporary dark lesion that flakes away.

Central Utah Dermatology can perform IPL photofacials to treat the face, hands, neck, and chest.

An IPL photofacial has many benefits. Most importantly, it’s a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that revitalizes your look without surgery or downtime. The team at Central Utah Dermatology uses IPL photofacials to treat many common skin concerns, including:

• Hyperpigmentation

• Age spots, liver spots, and sunspots

• Broken blood vessels

• Spider veins

• Freckles

• Port wine stains

• Rosacea

• Melasma

• Birthmarks

An IPL photofacial may also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The heat energy produced by the IPL tool stimulates the production of collagen, which is a structural protein responsible for your skin’s youthful strength and elasticity.

An IPL photofacial is a safe cosmetic treatment that causes very little discomfort. During your treatment at Central Utah Dermatology, your provider places the handheld IPL device on your skin and activates the light energy.

You may feel a snapping sensation as the light hits your skin. If you’re sensitive to pain, the team at Central Utah Dermatology adjusts your cosmetic treatment to minimize discomfort.

IPL photofacials take 15-20 minutes. Your skin may feel warm and tight and appear slightly reddened following your treatment, but these side effects resolve within a few hours and you can cover any redness with makeup.

You can go back to your usual routine after your photofacial.

You may see improvements in your skin within a week or so after your IPL photofacial, with continued improvements over the next several weeks.

The team at Central Utah Dermatology may recommend a series 2-6 IPL photofacial sessions every four weeks, and then touchup treatments as needed.
