Skin Tightening: Microneedling & RF Microneedling Before and After

MI Skin Dermatology Center: Melda Isaac, MD

Microneedling is a popular beauty trend, creating smooth, glowing skin without the pain or downtime of more aggressive procedures. Adding radiofrequency to this popular treatment enhances its ability to tighten and firm lax skin, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin texture.

When it comes to microneedling results, though, seeing is believing. In this post, we’ll show our patients’ dramatic skin tightening improvement using their actual microneedling and RF microneedling before and after pictures.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling uses tiny needles to create microscopic injuries on the skin. It’s a fast, relatively painless procedure that stimulates collagen production and encourages new skin growth. The treatment also allows serums and other topical solutions to be absorbed more easily into the skin for augmented results. We offer a variety of topical solutions formulated for different benefits, such as anti-aging or skin brightening.

The Microneedling Procedure

Microneedling is a stress-free, quick procedure, taking 15 to 30 minutes. After the procedure, the skin may be red, but this is temporary, and you can resume your everyday activities immediately. Keeping the skin out of the sun is important as it will be extremely sensitive for a few days, however!
