What to Expect During an RF Microneedling Appointment our Akron Med Spa
If you've been at all curious about RF microneedling, you're probably wondering about what actually happens during the appointment. An RF microneedling treatment combines tiny needles with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and improve skin tone, texture, and firmness. Whether you're visiting our med spa for anti-aging, acne scars, or skin tightening, this non-surgical treatment can seriously do it all and with very very minimal downtime so you can for sure fit it into your busy schedule!
Your RF microneedling journey will all start with a skin consultation at our med spa to discuss your goals and medical history. After that, we do a topical numbing cream for 30 minutes or so. Then, once your skin is numb, we use our handy dandy Sylfirm X device (our microneedling device)—to create micro-injuries in the skin while delivering RF energy deep into the dermis. The entire treatment usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated. The areas we can treat include the face, eyelids,neck, chest, stomach, thighs, arms…basically anywhere you want!
After your appointment, you might experience some redness, warmth, or slight swelling—similar to a mild sunburn. This is completely normal and usually will subside within 24 to 48 hours. You’ll have to avoid direct sun exposure and to use gentle skincare products for a few days. Results build over time, with most clients seeing improved texture and tighter skin after just a few sessions spaced a few weeks apart!
We also will usually apply some type of aftercare product immediately after your treatment like exosomes to help with enhanced results and a quicker recovery!
We offer a couple different products that we recommend using after the treatment (and really ones you should use all the time to help with maintenance of the treatment). Our favorites are our Plated exosomes, Alastin Skin Nectar, ZO Firming Serum, ZO body soothing cream, and ZO Growth Factor. All of these contain collagen and elastin stimulating components that help to maintain your results while also speeding up your recovery process so it is a win win for you and your skin!
Depending on your skin concerns we usually want to see you do 3-6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart, but each client may need something a little different. And again, we always recommend you come in for a free consultation just to make sure we are doing the correct treatment for the correct problem you may be having. That is always a safe and easy way to start!
