If you are 40 years old or older and are starting to find smile lines, age spots, discoloration, and other skin flaws, RF microneedling might be the perfect treatment for you. RF microneedling may be an excellent choice if you want to:

• Firm your skin, creating a more refreshed appearance
• Boost skin texture, pigment, and tone
• Repair skin irregularities, like discoloration and blood vessels
• Reduce the look of age spots and sun damage
• Treat acne scars and other forms of scarring
• Rejuvenate the skin for a younger, luminous look

Contact board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Hanz today to discuss whether you would be an ideal candidate.

Kevin R. Hanz, M.D. Aesthetic Plastic Surgery uses Morpheus8 by InMode (a tool with small needles on the end) to gently press the skin to puncture and create micro-injuries that “interrupt” the cells and uses radiofrequency to stimulate the production of collagen. The heat from the radiofrequency encourages continuous healing of the skin, creating new skin that begins to grow as the skin begins to heal, leaving the top layer looking and feeling brighter, smoother, and rejuvenated. The use of needles may sound painful, but these very fine needles provide a relatively painless procedure. After your procedure, you can typically return to your daily activities.

Your microneedling procedure will take place inside the Kevin R. Hanz, M.D. Aesthetic Plastic Surgery office with the use of numbing cream to minimize discomfort, although many find that it is relatively painless. You should anticipate small, pinpoint scabs to become pronounced 24 – 72 hours afterward, which will naturally shed when your skin has healed. You might find that your skin is red and feels like you were sunburned; this shouldn’t last more than a week or so. Outcomes become visible as the skin heals over a month after a microneedling with RF procedure. Optimal results generally take 3 – 4 treatments scheduled one month apart.

The cost of your RF microneedling session will vary based on your condition and the number of sessions needed to achieve the ideal results. At your first visit, Dr. Hanz will go over all your concerns and estimate your treatment costs.

Each person is different, and some individuals may want more sessions than others. Dr. Hanz will take the time to perform a thorough evaluation of your skin and consider your needs and goals to help decide how many treatments you will need. On average, most people receive 3 – 4 treatments spaced four weeks apart.

Since a local anesthetic is applied to the skin, you should have little to no discomfort during the procedure. During your procedure, we will check in to make sure you are doing all right. When the local anesthesia wears off, you might feel mild discomfort briefly while your skin is healing itself.

Even though RF microneedling can deliver amazing results on its own, you may consider getting it with another procedure for more improvements. During your consultation with Dr. Hanz, he will ask about all your goals about your skin before recommending RF microneedling as well as any other treatments.
