Micro-needle RF-lifting

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a state-of-the-art dermatological procedure that is truly a breakthrough in aesthetic medicine. Controlled micro-traumas on the skin's surface are caused by the tiny needles of the device. Natural regeneration mechanisms are activated by these micro-injuries, resulting in the renewal of the upper layers of skin and a significant improvement in its appearance.

The effect is both quick and noticeable! A clear facial contour is created and the skin is instantly tightened.

Procedure's objectives

• Wrinkle reduction: the skin becomes firmer and smoother.

• Pigmentation elimination: the return of an even skin tone.

• Reduction of scars: whether they are acne marks or surgical scars.

• Improving skin texture and colour: skin regains its natural radiance and freshness.

Different types of microneedling

1. Microneedling roller. A roller that is covered with many tiny needles is what this tool is. The skin is subjected to uniform, extremely beneficial micro-traumas as it passes over it.

2. Micro-needle dermapen. This is an electronic device with an automatic extension of microscopic needles that allows for a highly precise procedure.

3. Micro-needling laser. When using a laser, special beams are used to create micro-injuries, which also stimulate the production of the youth protein collagen and skin renewal.

RF-lifting devices

Radiofrequency energy is used in RF-lifting to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. To date, there are several devices for RF-lifting, which differ in their exposure methods and duration of the procedure.

1. Monopolar energy-based device. The function of this device can be compared to the internal heating of the skin. Radiofrequency energy is transmitted into the deep layers of the dermis by the device, which stimulates cells to produce collagen. The effect: firmer and tighter skin. The procedure usually takes 30 to 45 minutes.

2. Bipolar devices. Bipolar devices use two electrodes. Energy passes between them, heating the tissue to a shallower depth than monopolar. This ensures even exposure and less risk of damage to the superficial layers of skin. The procedure usually lasts about 40 minutes.

3. Multipolar devices. By using multiple electrodes, multipolar devices can treat different levels of skin simultaneously. By combining the advantages of both monopolar and bipolar RF-lifting, this device offers complete skin renewal. The duration of the procedure - about 40 minutes.

4. A device that uses fractional RF lifting. By using the energy-based device for fractional RF-lifting, which has numerous small electrodes, you can penetrate the skin at a specific depth and create microthermal zones. This provides an intense stimulation of tissue regeneration, improving skin texture and colour. The treatment can last from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the treatment area and intensity.

The Morpheus8 device is available at Seline Clinics, and it is the most recent advancement in RF-lifting and micro-needling technologies in Russia. Morpheus8's unique combination of fractional RF-lifting and micro-needle therapy is effective in improving skin appearance, eradicating wrinkles, and correcting scars.

The innovative device allows for delicate and precise work with different layers of the skin, which makes the procedures not only effective but also safe. Morpheus8 has already established itself as one of the most advanced tools in cosmetology, allowing patients to obtain noticeable results in a manner that is not invasive.

Benefits

Microneedling is an innovative method in the field of aesthetic medicine that provides impressive results with minimal discomfort and recovery time. Let's take a look at the key benefits of this procedure:

1. Stimulation of collagen production. When the skin is micro-traumatised by needles, the natural regeneration process is activated. As a result, the production of collagen and elastin - the main "building blocks" of our skin - increases, making it firmer and younger-looking.

2. Wrinkle reduction. Microneedling helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles on the face, providing a natural improvement without the need for surgery.

3. Skin Texture Improvement. Irregularities, pores, and acne scars all become less noticeable after treatment due to accelerated skin cell renewal.

4. Reducing the appearance of pigmentation. Blemishes caused by sun exposure or age-related changes become less pronounced and the skin returns to an even and fresh colour.

5. Moisturising and nourishing. The treatment improves the skin's ability to retain moisture and absorb the active ingredients of cosmetic products, resulting in deep nourishment and hydration.

6. Minimal side effects. Unlike some other procedures, Microneedling is characterised by a short rehabilitation period and few and minor side effects.

7. Accessibility for different skin types. This method is suitable for most skin types and can be customised to meet the individual needs of the patient.

How to prepare for the procedure

Preparing for a Microneedling procedure is a key step to achieve optimal results and reduce risks. Recommended:

• Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds 2 weeks prior to the procedure.

• Discontinue the use of products containing retinol, fruit acids or other harsh ingredients 3-5 days prior to the session.

• Avoid traumatic cosmetic procedures such as peels or injections one week prior to Microneedling session.

Who the treatment is suitable for

Microneedling is a versatile procedure that is suitable for most cosmetic patients, but is particularly effective for those who are experiencing:

• Wrinkles and lines on the face.

• Uneven skin texture or enlarged pores.

• Scars, especially from acne.

• Pigmentation or uneven skin tone.

Risks

Like any cosmetic procedure, Microneedling can carry certain risks such as short-term skin redness, swelling or minor bruising. At Seline, our highly trained staff, using professional techniques and high quality equipment, minimise possible discomfort and risks for patients.

Recovery and downtime after the procedure

Recovery from Microneedling is usually quick and does not require much rehabilitation. However, it is important to follow skin care recommendations after the procedure: avoid direct sunlight, use sunscreen and keep the skin moisturised. Seline specialists will provide detailed instructions and skin care recommendations to ensure your skin recovers properly and optimise the results of your procedure.
