Microneedling is the hottest treatment in the aesthetics industry right now, but what is it and do I need it?
Microneedling is where tiny needles are punctured into the skin to cause trauma. This stimulates more collagen and elastin over time. Microneedling is one of the hottest treatments of 2021/2022 as it has so many benefits whilst being suitable for all skin types. You may have seen the astonishing results Judy Murray achieved from Radio Frequency Microneedling.
What is the difference between Radiofrequency Microneedling and Microneedling?
Radiofrequency (RF) is where heat is generated in the skin to create thermal damage. This stimulates more collagen and elastin lifting and firming the skin on the face or body. At Fiji our RF Microneedling and LP Facelifts are the most popular treatments due to the results clients experience immediately after treatment which also improve over time.
Here at Fiji we have Morpheus 8, the device responsible for the recent Judy Murray transformation and a celebrity favourite, it can treat deeper than any other RFM device on todays market! And also The Focus Dual from Lynton lasers the only RFM device with vacuum technology for precision treatment Both devices are cutting edge equipment combining two treatments in just one application.
Is Radiofrequency Microneedling worth it?
Traditional microneedling has its benefits however adding radiofrequency has the added benefit as the heat cauterises the skin which reduces bleeding and any risk of infection. This also means that there is zero downtime to this treatment, clients can experience this treatment during the lunch hour. Over time it is very unlikely traditional micro needling will be around as there are so many added benefits to combining radiofrequency and microneedling together.
In a fast-paced world client are looking to save time during treatments so by being able to combine a radiofrequency treatment along with a microneedling treatment is the ultimate experience which will give double the results.
Does Radiofrequency Microneedling hurt?
The Focus Dual is the latest in radiofrequency microneedling technology. This means that there is no anaesthetic cream required prior to treatment. There are 25 ultrafine needles which are punctured into the skin painlessly. The reason why it’s a pain free is that there is a vacuum on the device which sucks the skin into the applicator before puncturing the skin with 25 needles. There is currently no other device on the market with this feature which creates a pain-free, blood free experience.
Morpheus 8 treats deeper than Focus Dual and is able to reach the SMAS layer meaning clients can also get a facelift worthy lift, so a topical anaesthetic is required, however this does mean that the treatment is also relatively pain free!
What is Radiofrequency Microneedling good for?
Microneedling performed in the clinic allows practitioners to go much deeper than any derma roller home devices. RF Microneedling is really good for generating new collagen and elastin which creates a smoother firmer more toned skin. RF Microneedling is exceptional at treating scarring, acne scars, tightening skin, stretch marks, open pores fine lines and wrinkles. Microneedling can be used on the face or the body, our devices are unique as we can alter the depth of the needle at the press of a button. This allows optimal an treatment and results. For example we would use a smaller needle around the delicate eye area compared to treating around the mouth area where we would use a longer needle.
What age should I start Microneedling?
From the age of 25 our collagen and elastin production starts to decline between 1 to 2% per year. Radiofrequency microneedling from your mid 20s is very good for stimulating more collagen and elastin to slow the ageing process and prevent fine lines and wrinkles. At this age microneedling is very good for treating acne scarring. We can treat the full face or we can just treat single areas where there may be acne scars such as ice pick scars or box scars.
Radiofrequency Microneedling is the ultimate treatment for all anti-ageing concerns. Having regular radio-requency microneedling throughout the year will significantly tighten the skin and reduce large pores that we experience as we age and collagen declines.
This will allow to make-up to sit more evenly on the skin and create that no filter look. It’s the ultimate non-surgical skin tightening solution whilst creating smooth skin. We offer memberships for this and recommend to have one treatment per season to maintain healthy skin.
How long does it take to see results from Microneedling
Radiofrequency microneedling instantly triggers the bodies wound healing response for complete skin rejuvenation. Due to the radio-frequency there is instant tightening of collagen fibres to. This means that results are seen immediately however the most dramatic results are experienced 4 to 6 weeks post treatment when more collagen. Results will really start to become visible at 12 weeks and can last for 12-18 months!
