RadioFrequency Microneedling

Pre-Treatment
• 3 days prior to treatment, do not use topicals containing Retin-A, glycolic or salicylic acid, as this can irritate the skin.

• Please arrive makeup and moisturizer free.

• Application of numbing cream will be applied, 45 to 60 minutes before treatment.

Post-Treatment
RF treatments are typically very well tolerated with little to no discomfort and no downtime and cause no damage to the surface of the skin. You may experience mild swelling and redness of the skin after treatment that usually resolves within 24 hrs.

• If you have erythema and heat after treatment, you can apply cold compresses at home

• Continue to apply sun protection daily to maximize your results and minimize irritation and prevent hyperpigmentation

• Moisturize daily

• Avoid intense exercise for 1-week post treatment

• Avoid exfoliation, products with active ingredients for one week after treatment.

• If treatment is being done for active acne, inflammation and swelling can block the pores and temporarily make the acne worse (up to 7 days)

Contraindications:

1. Pacemaker/Arrhythmia

2. Implantable metal device in treatment area

3. Suspicious lesion or tattoo in treatment area

4. Piercings on or near treatment area

5. Autoimmune diseases/Skin Disorders

I declare that I do not have any of the conditions listed above.

I am not currently taking Accutane.

I understand that if I have a history of cold sores, I may require pre and post-treatment antiviral medications.

I understand with any RF micro-needling procedure there can be some potential complications and side effects.

Chance of developing hypo and/or hyperpigmentation, purpura, blistering, crusting, edema and erythema (redness and swelling), itchiness in treated area.

Other things of note:

Areas of permanent makeup and recent fillers (past 4 weeks) will need to be avoided.
