The variety of facial and body rejuvenation hardware procedures causes confusion among patients and doubts about their effectiveness, even if the proposal comes from a cosmetologist. At the same time, in the names and technologies of lifting techniques based on hardware exposure, there are many complex terms that do not at all explain what will happen to the skin of the face during processing by the device, and what this will lead to. One of the most effective lifting procedures – This is a fractional radiofrequency needle lift. Before prescribing it, it is helpful to have a conversation about the procedure with the patient and to highlight some of the most important issues, even if the patient cannot articulate them properly.
What is the essence of the method of fractional radiofrequency needle lifting
The method uses the ability of radio waves of a certain frequency to penetrate deep into the skin, reach the level of the dermis and heat the tissues in a controlled manner. At the same time, metabolic processes are intensified, fibroblasts are stimulated, and the process of neocollagenogenesis begins.
A cascade of physiological reactions is responsible for neocollagenogenesis, which is triggered in the skin due to injury from needles. The procedure is carried out using a nozzle with 25 finest gilded microneedles. They leave microscopic punctures on the skin and penetrate to a depth of no more than 3.5 mm. The level of penetration is strictly controlled by the doctor and depends on which area is being treated and what result is expected to be achieved. The processes of skin damage and response are well studied and do not bring any unpleasant surprises to either the doctor or the patient.
How soon can you see the first effect of the needle lift
The process of forming new collagen fibers is slow. The needles of the device stimulate the skin not with a continuous coating, but selectively, in separate areas. A month later, the procedure is repeated, and already adjacent areas are stimulated, and the effect of the previous skin treatment will increase.
Already 2 months after the start of the needle lifting course, an increase in skin elasticity and an improvement in its turgor and texture are noted. The technique acts not only on the dermal layer, but also affects the epidermis, leveling the skin microrelief. For a visible effect and a lasting result, a course of procedures (approximately 4 depending on the problem being solved) and approximately 6 months will be required.
How does the patient feel during and after the procedure
The beauty of fractional radiofrequency needle lifting is that it causes almost no pain and does not require long-term rehabilitation. As a rule, patients refuse pain relief. But if the skin is hypersensitive, the doctor will apply topical anesthesia. To do this, you will have to come to the procedure a little earlier than the appointed time.
The rehabilitation period takes about an hour and a half or a little longer. At this time, dot marks of punctures are visible on the skin, redness and slight swelling persist. But after one and a half to two hours everything passes. There are no bruises or crusts, as after mesotherapy or other injection procedures.
The procedure does not depend on the skin phototype and has no seasonal restrictions. She has almost no contraindications. Be sure to find out at the stage of collecting anamnesis the presence of herpes, since the procedure can provoke its exacerbation. After the procedure, it is necessary to use sunscreen for the skin. In home care, it is recommended to temporarily abandon products with acids, scrubs, and thermal exposure.
Is the needle lift compatible with other procedures
On the day of the fractional RF needle lift, you can take blood for plasma therapy and, after skin treatment with a needle applicator, apply a mask with plasma. Fabric-based masks are also acceptable, which moisturize the skin, soothe, and relieve puffiness.
After 3-5 days, mesotherapy, biorevitalization, and plasma therapy are allowed. A combination of ultrasonic exposure with RF lifting gives a good effect: one of the procedures affects the dermis, the other works at the SMAS level, and together they give an excellent rejuvenating effect. But it is allowed to carry out such procedures with a 3-month interval.
