“I give RF micro needle laying about a seven. I think it's really good at its job of helping to correct minor laxity, but some people with more laxity might be wanting a bigger improvement, which it unfortunately can't do, but it's also potentially a good preventative option and more intense than traditional micro needling.”

“worry more about the provider that's going to be using that device because like we said, there are minor nuances between these machines. But the main thing is making sure that it's delivering at the right depth, the right amount of heat, the right amount of power so that you're treating that that dermal layer of collagen without causing damage to other layers of the skin.”

“one energy based treatment that I have lots of videos on is something called radio frequency micro needling where basically um it's like micro needling and that little channels are created which do stimulate um wound healing Pathways that lead to uh collagen production and cell renewal but this particular modality combines it with delivering radio frequency energy that essentially heats up the deeper layers stimulating new collagen formation and that definitely can rejuvenate um the skin quite a bit and improve the look of prominent wrinkles”

“Great for promoting collagen production, but not ideal for treating hyperpigmentation. But when you pair it with things like tranexamic acid or other things that usually have a hard time penetrating the skin, you create micro channels. So they can go deeper into the skin to where they're supposed to work, which means you increase their effectiveness.”
