Bipolar microneedle radiofrequency
The method works by combining two treatment techniques – micro-puncturing and heating the skin with radio waves. The device with which the treatment is performed is equipped with a set of needles placed in a replaceable, disposable, sterile cartridge.
The number of needles varies depending on the treatment area. The devices’ ability to adjust the depth of needle insertions allows insertions to varying depths, averaging from 0.5 to 3.5 mm. Non-insulated needles are available, which heat the skin over the entire length of the insertion during the treatment, as well as insulated needles, which emit heat only at their outer ends, allowing the radio waves to work in a specific layer of the skin. Other parameters of the device, such as the intensity and duration of skin heating, can be freely adjusted depending on the indication for which the treatment will be performed. The adjustment is limited only by the range of parameters available to the device. Thanks to this, the micro-needle radiofrequency treatment is very precise, which in turn allows to achieve very good therapeutic results. The best results of the treatment are achieved in those areas of the body that have a rich blood supply, this translates into a lower impedance and therefore higher electrical conductivity.
Bipolar microneedle radiofrequency – what is it?
It is a technology that combines traditional radio frequency with microneedling of the skin using multi-needle modules. It involves inserting needles (gold-plated, insulated) into the skin, which are heated by a radio wave, thanks to which it is damaged in a controlled manner. The device uses 3 types of multi-needle modules with different numbers of needles from 10 to 64. The multi-needle modules are single-use, sterile packed. The depth of inserting the needles into the skin is adjustable from 0.2mm to 3.5mm. Microneedle radiofrequency is a treatment that is ideal for mature skin, as well as the treatment of acne scars.
Bipolar microneedle radiofrequency – for whom?
It can be used by both women and men as part of anti-aging prevention, as well as for deep revitalization of the skin of the face, neck or décolleté. Microneedle radiofrequency It also works great on flabby body skin, e.g. after pregnancy or weight loss, and on scars, e.g. acne or stretch marks.
Recommendations before the procedure
Before the planned bipolar microneedle radiofrequency treatment, the following recommendations should be followed:
- 5 days before the procedure, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. aspirin, ibuprofen) should be discontinued.
- On the day of the procedure, avoid temperature fluctuations and do not use the sauna, solarium, steam baths and cryotherapy, and avoid going out in the sun
- On the day of the procedure, do not perform activities that would risk infecting the treatment area
Therapy recommendations – microneedle radiofrequency
After the bipolar microneedle radiofrequency procedure, the following recommendations should be followed:
- Immediately after the procedure, you can cool the face, e.g. with a soothing mask
- For 6 hours after the procedure, do not touch the puncture sites or their surroundings
- Alcohol should not be consumed for 12 hours after the procedure
- Physical exertion should be avoided for at least 24 hours (e.g. gym exercise, running, sports)
- Do not massage or rub the treatment areas for 48 hours
- do not apply make-up for 48 hours, do not use rough towels or skin-irritating cosmetic preparations
- for at least 48 hours after the procedure, avoid temperature fluctuations and do not use saunas, steam rooms or cryotherapy
- avoid exposure to the sun and tanning beds for at least 48 hours after the procedure, constantly use creams with high sunscreens (minimum 30 SPF)
- For 2 weeks, you should not perform other treatments that deeply affect the structure of the skin, such as dermabrasion, laser therapy and chemical peels
- Anti-inflammatory, antihistamine and steroid drugs should be avoided for min. 2-4 weeks
- In the event of any disturbing symptoms, an urgent follow-up visit is recommended.
Effects of the treatment
Immediately after the treatment, collagen fibers shrink, which makes the skin tighter. However, what is most important happens for the next few weeks (up to 2-5 months) after the procedure. This stimulates the formation of new collagen, thickens its fibers and builds new bonds between them. As a result, the skin becomes firmer and more elastic. Thanks to collagen reconstruction, fine wrinkles are filled, and scars and stretch marks are reduced or disappear completely. The main effects are:
- firming the skin and improving its tension
- smoothing wrinkles and fine lines
- rejuvenation
- restoration of even color and shine
- reduction of the visibility of pores
- reduction of stretch marks and scars
- reduction of fat cells and cellulite
