RF & Mechanical Microneedling

RF & Mechanical Microneedling

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, or collagen-induction therapy, uses ultrafine needles to create controlled microchannels that spark a healing cascade of collagen, elastin, and growth factors. We frequently enhance each pass with mesotherapy cocktails rich in peptides to super-charge results.

Most clients see visible smoothing within 4–6 weeks, while post-treatment pinkness fades in 24–72 hours—making downtime easy to fit into busy schedules.

Ideal for: adults seeking a minimally invasive fix for texture issues, enlarged pores, or early laxity—without lasers or fillers.

How Microneedling Works

  1. Prep & Comfort

    Topical numbing cream for 30 minutes; no needles go deeper than 2.5 mm, so general anesthesia isn’t needed.

  2. Collagen-Inducing Passes

    A sterile, single-use cartridge glides across skin at customized depths; we can simultaneously infuse peptide-rich mesotherapy serums for amplified tissue repair.

  3. Session Time

    20–40 minutes depending on the zones treated.

  4. Immediate After-Care

    Cool saline soaks, barrier cream, and strict SPF. Beginning 48 hours post-treatment, we recommend Dr. Jackie Vitamina Brillante or a surgeon-selected brightening cream to accelerate healing and glow. Most redness calms by day three.

  5. Follow-Up Milestones

    Series of 3–5 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, then doctor-guided follow-up every three months to maintain gains.

FAQs - RF & Mechanical Microneedling

How many sessions will I need?
Most clients achieve optimal smoothing with 3–5 treatments spaced a month apart.
Does microneedling hurt?
A potent topical anesthetic keeps sensations to light pressure; any pinpoint bleeding stops within minutes.
Why add peptides or mesotherapy?
Infusing growth-factor peptides during treatment accelerates healing and can double collagen output compared with dry needling alone.
What’s the downtime?
Expect redness similar to a sunburn for one to three days; light flaking may follow.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes—studies show microneedling is well-tolerated across Fitzpatrick IV–VI with very low hyperpigmentation risk when physician-led.
Can I use Dr. Jackie Vitamina Brillante afterward?
Absolutely—begin 48 hours post-session (once microchannels close) to brighten and support collagen remodeling.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Early glow appears in two weeks; collagen peaks at three months and can last 18 months with good skincare and sun protection.
What about cost & financing?
Pricing depends on area size and add-ons; transparent quotes and flexible financing are reviewed at your consultation—see our financing options.
