What Is Microneedling Treatment

What does microneedling involve? The actual treatment of microneedling Somerset utilises very fine needles, which move incredibly fast to create the prize micro channels into the skin. These little pinpricks elicit the body’s natural healing response and stimulate collagen and elastin production.

Collagen is the protein responsible for keeping skin firm and smooth. Collagen diminishes with the years, causing lines, enlarged pores and uneven texture.

What is microneedling used for?

Fine lines and early wrinkles

Acne scars and mild scarring

Uneven skin texture

Large pores

Dull looking skin

How RF Microneedling Is Different

RF microneedling Somerset is a combination of microneedling and radiofrequency. In addition to the needles, a specific amount of controlled heat energy is administered into the dermis.

This extra heat increases the collagen response and tightens tissue more efficiently than traditional microneedling alone.

It is often recommended for:

Skin tightening

Deeper wrinkles

Loose or crepey skin

More visible acne scarring

Areas to be firmed and resurfaced

Step by Step Treatment Process

In general, both treatments involve a step-based procedure:

Skin is cleansed and prepared

A numbing cream will be placed on.

The microneedling pen is swept through the region to be treated

The needles in RF microneedling deliver heat energy

Then a soothing serum or mask is put on following the session

Appointments last, on average for 1 hour depending on the area being treated.

Skin condition

Treatment goals

Depth of scarring or lines

Area being treated

Why Professional Treatment Matters

Device quality and how skilled a practitioner is at using it are huge factors in both safety and results. Correct depth control, hygiene and spacing of treatment are the vital. A trained provider will customize the settings based on your skin type and concern, versus deploying a fixed setting for everyone.
