Do you think you are a perfect candidate for a radiofrequency microneedling procedure? If you are, here’s what you should know about the aftercare needed after your treatment.
Is Radiofrequency microneedling ideal for everybody? RF Microneedling is a safe beauty procedure, but sadly, not for everybody. Who is the perfect candidate? Those who show early signs of aging, are healthy, and are reasonable with the procedure results are the best candidates.
Admittedly, the procedure can produce miraculous results for those who are good candidates for it. If you have recently used Accutane or are currently experiencing some breakout of skin infection, this may not be for you. Women who are pregnant and taking anticoagulants or keloidal are not encouraged to undergo it as well.
Realistically speaking, it will take three to six months of treatment before you can see the change from the RF microneedling sessions. Results vary because of your skin type and the severity of your skin condition.
Usually, after the fourth session, you should see an improvement in your skin. The bigger the scar, the longer the treatment, but it will be worth it. Your skin needs to recover in between sessions, that is why the treatment can only be done in three to eight-week intervals.
How do you take care of your face after your radiofrequency microneedling session? Applying ice packs to the area to reduce discomfort and swelling will help. After the procedure, expect some sun sensitivity. Remember to never stay under the sun without protection, like the highest SPF level you can find in your area.
Topical creams like antibiotics and emollients will help to protect your skin against possible infections. In the next 24 hours, keep your face as clean as possible. Use a gentle cleanser and refrain from wearing makeup. The next day, after your radiofrequency microneedling, you can return to your normal skincare routine and makeup application. Radiofrequency microneedling is one way to erase a few years off your face now!
