Microneedling & Radio Frequency Treatment
Microneedling therapy is also known as collagen induction therapy or dermarolling.
Focus Dual Radiofrequency Microneedling uses ultrafine microneedles to create tiny wounds in the skin, initiating the body’s natural healing response. With the application of vacuum suction technology, we can penetrate Radiofrequency energy (heat) deep into the dermis.
This is fantastic for the treatment of:
- Improving fine lines and wrinkles
- Improving skin texture and tone
- Treating acne scars and surgical scars
- Reducing pore size
- Improving the appearance of stretch marks
- Improving skin laxity
- + more.
Every body is welcome at Buff & Bare. Microneedling with Radiofrequency treatment is minimally invasive and really reduces the signs of aging. If you’re not sure whether Microneedling treatment is right for you, please do get in touch and we’ll be happy to discuss it.
How we work
Consultation & Preparation
We will have a chat with you before your treatement to decide on what areas you want treated and the results you’re hoping to achieve
We will also discuss your medical history to ensure there are no contraindications and talk about any supplements, lotions, creams or oils you may be using on your skin at the moment.
When you come for a repeat appointment, we’ll check with you that nothing has changed.
We’ll then clean and prepare you skin for treatment.
Will it hurt?
Microneedling, especially with the radiofrequency treatment is not a pleasant procedure.
The FocusDual system uses ultrafine needles which makes the process less painful than other versions. However, it will depend on your pain threshold and how deep we need to place the needles for the best results.
If you’re too uncomfortable at any point, always let us know.
The Process
Your skin will be prepared for treatment and new, sterile needles prepared for you.
We’ll apply the microneedles to penetrate the skin and deliver Radiofrequency (heat) energy to the depth required.
Healthy skin is left undamaged causing minimal discomfort and less downtime when compared to invasive procedures.
Inside your skin, the Radiofrequency energy creates heat zones that generate direct thermal heating of the dermis.
This creates a micro “injury” that triggers the body to produce new collagen and elastin to fill the microscopic wound. Dermal thickening occurs up to 12 weeks post treatment, tightening the skin from inside out – improving skin condition and minimising the signs of aging.
You’ll probably need a course of 4-6 treatments over a period of 3-6 weeks to get the best results. We’ll discuss this with you at your consultation.
Each session takes between 15 minutes and an hour, depending on the area being treated.
After Care
You may experience redness, mild swelling, and slight sensitivity in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few days.
We’ll provide you with full details of how to look after your skin following each treatment.
You should continue to see results for several months. Depending on the area treated and the skin condition, we’ll agree a time when we invite you back for a top up.
If you experience any unexpected reactions after treatment, please get in touch with us immediately.
