About Skin Tightening

What it is

Microneedling RF is a cosmetic procedure that uses small, sterilized needles to prick the skin. It will help smooth, firm, and tone skin and improve the appearance of scars, acne, and wrinkles. 

The PiXel8-RF Micro-Needling System has been specifically designed to deliver RF energy directly into the layers of tissue in order to heat and stimulate collagen.

How it Works

Micro-needle Cartridge makes perfect contact to the skin. Micro-needles smoothly penetrate the skin with less pain. Bipolar RF energy denaturalizes the tissue surrounding the micro needles. Collagen regeneration & new elastic production process begins.

What to Expect

Depending on the area treated, you can plan to be in office anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour. Downtime is minimal and generally less than 24 hours, but redness can last up to 3 days and dryness of the skin 7-10 days. Results vary based on the severity of the skin concern, its location, and the treatment plan used. You provider may recommend 3or more treatment sessions. The skin may continue increased collagen production post treatment.

FAQs

It depends on several factors including: which area(s) you are trying to treat (11s, forehead, crow’s feet, etc), the strength of your facial muscles, and how deep your existing lines are. We recommend a complimentary consultation with our nurse injector to create a plan that is right for you.

Not really – it feels like a pinch! The needle is small, thin, and it goes by quickly to decrease the possibility of pain. No numbing agents are needed.

There’s virtually zero downtime with these treatments. Neurotoxins are often referred to as a “lunchtime procedure,” since most patients return directly to work or normal activity immediately. Some redness and swelling may occur at the injection sites, but it usually subsides within a few hours. Very rarely, patients may experience minor bruising.

Results last around 3-6 months, depending on the location of the treatment, your muscle activity and your body’s individual response.

While Botox and Dysport are both injectables (specifically, botulinum toxin injections) used to treat and prevent wrinkles, their chemical compositions are slightly different which can make one more effective than the other at specific injection sites. We recommend talking to our nurse injector to understand which product is the best fit for you!

Neurotoxin injections are very common, low risk procedures. Headache, minor bruising or swelling at the injection site are the most common but still rare side effects. As with any treatment, there are always risks which your nurse injector will walk you through prior to treatment.

Pease don’t wear any makeup to your appointment. Our injectors need to be able to see your fine lines and wrinkles clearly.

People who are pregnant or nursing are not eligible for neurotoxin treatment.
