Microneedling Q&A
What is microneedling?
During microneedling, a device affixed with tiny needles glides over your skin to create micro-injuries. Your body responds to these injuries by rushing healing factors in to promote skin strengthening and repair. Collagen production also increases.
At In Shape Wellness Center, microneedling also includes radiofrequency, a powerful energy that further triggers skin regeneration and healing. The radiofrequency energy penetrates deeply into your skin to further produce collagen and firm up your skin.
With microneedling, you experience smoother skin texture, a more even skin tone, and reduced lines and wrinkles.
What are the benefits of microneedling?
Microneedling creates luminous skin and helps eliminate many common skin complaints.
You might consider microneedling if you are bothered by:
-
Sun damage
-
Age spots
-
Acne and other scars
-
Large pores
-
Stretch marks
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Irregular skin texture
The addition of radiofrequency also tightens up mildly sagging skin.
What should I expect to experience during radiofrequency microneedling?
Microneedling with radiofrequency is minimally invasive, and the staff at In Shape Wellness Center strive to make your experience as comfortable as possible. You’ll relax in a comfortable treatment chair while a technician cleanses your skin and applies a topical numbing cream.
You’ll feel tingling and warmth as the microneedling device glides across your skin. Areas with extra wrinkling or congestion may get several passes. The entire treatment lasts about 20-30 minutes.
The team at In Shape Wellness Center will also consult with you if PRP injections could benefit your wellness goals. PRP has remarkable healing properties, and is effective for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and other aesthetic treatments.
When will I see the effects of radiofrequency microneedling?
The most dramatic results of microneedling show up after a series of three or four radiofrequency microneedling treatments. You schedule these four to six weeks apart.
Immediately after your treatment, you may have slight skin swelling and redness. These side effects fade in a day or two, and then you’ll notice a glow and luminosity in your skin.
The long-term effects of microneedling take several weeks to show up as your skin restores itself and establishes new cells and fresh collagen. Schedule a maintenance session every 6-12 months to maintain your skin’s vibrancy.
Endymed FSR
Fractional skin resurfacing (more commonly known as laser resurfacing) is an anti-aging and beauty treatment that sends concentrated pulses of light at irregular skin surfaces to rejuvenate skin from the outside in two ways simultaneously; controlled micro-resurfacing and dermal heating. FSR radiofrequency handpiece creates intense heat in tiny columns arranged in a grid to remove tiny dots of epidermis so new skin tissue can be formed together with volumetric heating of the dermis up to a controlled depth of up to 5.0 mm for the promotion of collagen growth and remodeling with resultant reduction of skin laxity and wrinkles, stretch marks,
Micro-resurfacing increases epidermal cell renewal to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and other blemishes such as brown spots or blotchy skin coloring and hyperpigmentation and brightens the complexion. FSR is an ideal minimally invasive treatment for “acne scars, deep wrinkles, stretch marks, and dilated pores.”

RF Micro-needling Micro-needling is procedure where tiny needles pierce the skin and cause micro-injuries, which promotes collagen production as these injuries heal. Comparatively, EndyMed’s Intensif RF microneedle treatment uses tiny needles to pierce the skin too, but also uses these micro-needles to emit heat into the dermis, further triggering the production of new collagen. Treatments will continue to provide skin improvement for up to a year after your last treatment. As such Intensif is an ideal minimally invasive treatment for “acne scars, deep wrinkles, stretch marks and dilated pores.” This technology provides “superior efficacy,” with little-to-no discomfort or downtime; immediate improvement, long-lasting results, and quick procedure times.

It works effectively, regardless of skin color. This treatment rejuvenates the skin from the inside out, delivering three layers deep into the skin using unique, non-insulated gold needles and fractional pulse mode technology, creating fractional columns of coagulation and volumetric heating up to a controlled depth of up to 5.0mm. This kick starts the rejuvenation of the skin by stimulating the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid and other key components of the extra cellular matrix, while also increasing epidermal cell renewal. Before treatment, area will be washed and dried to remove lotion and makeup and cleaned with alcohol. Then anesthetic cream is applied for 20 to 40 minutes. A test spot reaction is performed on the border of the intended treatment area to assess the optimal parameters. Spot reaction is evaluated at least five minutes after the pulse was delivered. Intensif template is used to enables easy positioning of the handpiece and ensure uniform coverage of treatment area. Intensif delivers a pulse then handpiece is moved to the next grid dot and deliver a pulse and continue this treatment throughout the grid. Additional passes of pulses may be used for additional clinical enhancement. Immediately afterwards you can return to work or social engagements. Depending on the size of the treatment area, treatment may take between 30-45 minutes As with other energy device minor adverse events such as prolonged redness or minor skin burns may rarely occur.
