RF Microneedling in North Liberty

Collagen is important because it keeps your skin looking young, healthy, and happy. It’s the single most abundant protein in your body. It’s also a driving force behind cellular regeneration and it’s a huge part in your skin’s support structure. That means new cells can take the place of older, damaged ones.

Unfortunately, collagen loss is a natural part of aging. When you lose collagen, you may start to notice sagging, wrinkling, and creasing in your skin. You may even notice that your skin cells are more susceptible to damage, and wounds take longer to heal.

When you choose RF microneedling in North Liberty to address your skin concerns, you’re not just taking steps toward getting your confidence back. You’re reaching beyond the surface of your skin to harness your body’s healing powers and look like the best version of yourself.

Care instructions for RF microneedling in North Liberty are relatively easygoing. Stay out of the sun, make sure you wear SPF 30 sunscreen if you’re going to be in direct sunlight, and make sure you’re well-hydrated prior to your session.

After your RF microneedling treatment, continue to wear sunscreen and limit your sun exposure. Please do not wear makeup or use harsh products like exfoliants and retinoids if your skin is irritated.

In North Liberty, we can apply a topical numbing cream to increase your comfort during your RF microneedling treatment. However, it’s worth noting that this is optional. Many of our patients find that they tolerate the treatment well even without numbing cream.

We often see our patients once a month for RF microneedling treatments. When we schedule them out strategically, we can stay up-to-date with your journey and help give you the best results possible.

One of the benefits of RF microneedling is that there isn’t much downtime required afterwards. As long as you’re comfortable, you can continue your day as normal immediately following treatment.

There is a recovery period for RF microneedling. Meaning, your skin may become visibly irritated for up to 12 hours and could require some extra care. We give you detailed instructions to help you prepare for your recovery period. That way, you’ll be ready to encourage your best skin yet.
