Who is RF Microneedling for?

Individuals looking to reduce the visibility of pitted, atrophic, and rolling acne scars.

 

Problem and Solution:

Acne scars are often a result of severe acne that can leave indentations and uneven skin. RF Microneedling breaks down old scar tissue and promotes the synthesis of new collagen, resulting in smoother, more even skin.

How Does RF Microneedling Work for Acne Scars?

RF Microneedling punctures the scar tissue with fine needles and introduces radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis. This process breaks down scar tissue and triggers the body’s natural healing process, promoting new, healthy collagen formation.
