What is RadioFrequency Microneedling?

Radiofrequency microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy. Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, while the radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers. This dual-action stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance. It effectively reduces fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other skin imperfections, with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Matrix RF Microneedling and Morpheus8 are suitable for individuals looking to improve:

fine lines
wrinkles
acne scars
uneven skin texture.

However, these treatments may not be appropriate for those with active acne, eczema, rosacea, or a history of keloid scarring. Consult with Dr. Levin to determine the best microneedling treatment in Westport for your skin concerns.

Radiofrequency Microneedling FAQs

What should I expect during and after a microneedling session?

Is microneedling suitable for darker skin tones?

Is microneedling effective for treating hyperpigmentation and melasma?

What should I expect during and after a microneedling session?

During the procedure, you may feel a slight tingling or pricking sensation, but a topical anesthetic is typically applied to minimize discomfort. After the treatment, your skin may appear red and feel slightly sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn, for a few days. Most patients see noticeable improvements after just one session, with optimal results achieved through a series of treatments.

Is microneedling suitable for darker skin tones?

Microneedling is a safe and effective treatment for all skin tones, including darker skin. Unlike some laser treatments, microneedling carries a lower risk of causing hyperpigmentation or scarring in darker skin types.

Is microneedling effective for treating hyperpigmentation and melasma?

Microneedling can help reduce hyperpigmentation and melasma by promoting cell turnover and breaking up pigmentation clusters in the skin. This treatment can be particularly effective when combined with topical lightening agents or vitamin C serums for enhanced results.
