In a detailed consultation, we will first understand your wishes and expectations together. Subsequently, we conduct a precise analysis of your current skin and tissue condition, documented using our three-dimensional Vectra H2 System. Once all questions are clarified, the skin in the treatment area is cleansed and disinfected. Before the procedure, a local anesthetic cream is applied. The treatment itself lasts between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the scope. To conclude, a cooling and soothing mask is applied. After the treatment, the skin may feel tight and be slightly red, similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides quickly.
You will start noticing initial effects of the treatment within days; however, the maximum impact is achieved through stimulating the body's natural tissue regeneration. Consequently, there is a continuous improvement in skin texture and firmness over several weeks. For the initial application of the procedure, three individual sessions at intervals of 6 to 8 weeks are recommended to achieve optimal results. The effects of an RF-Needling treatment typically last about 12 months on average. A follow-up treatment after the initial series is advised after one year. In general, a simple refreshment is usually sufficient at that point. If further enhancement of the therapy's effects is desired, combining it with PRP treatment is recommended.
Before the Treatment
Before the treatment, as with any medical procedure, your written consent is required after all questions have been thoroughly addressed. This includes identifying any circumstances that might prevent an RF-Needling treatment, such as having a pacemaker or other electronic or metallic implants in the treatment area. Please inform us during our personal conversation. Ideally, refrain from wearing makeup on the day of the treatment; if applied, it will be removed in the clinic to allow for skin disinfection and applications under optimal hygienic conditions.
After the Treatment
After an RF-Needling treatment, avoid sunbathing, tanning beds, or sauna visits for 24 hours. Furthermore, as with maintaining vital and firm skin in general, a good sunscreen is recommended. Due to possible skin irritations and minor bruising, it's advisable not to plan important events for the two to three days following a treatment where you need to look your best.
