RF Microneedling Edmonton

RF Microneedling is a collagen-stimulating treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Edmonton. It combines fine micro-needles with radiofrequency energy: the needles create controlled micro-perforations at the chosen depth, while the heat from the radiofrequency works in the deeper layers to support the production of collagen and elastin.

RF Microneedling can help address fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, photodamage, enlarged pores, uneven texture and mild skin laxity on the face (including the eyelids), neck, décolleté and selected body areas such as the arms and abdomen. Depending on the treatment plan, targeted serums may also be applied after the procedure to support absorption, and the treatment can be received on its own or as part of a personalized plan that pairs it with complementary in-clinic options.

Because every patient’s skin, concerns and medical history are different, RF microneedling at our Dermapure clinics in Edmonton always begins with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether RF microneedling is the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results, the recovery and the possible side effects, which will be reviewed in detail during your consultation.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1
Personalized assessment
A meeting prior to the intensive RF Microneedling treatment allows you to better understand your expectations and your skin condition and thus build a personalized treatment plan.
Step 2
Taking photographs
Taking pre and post-treatment photographs is an important step, as it allows you to visualize the evolution of your skin condition over the course of the treatments. It is also an opportunity for you to better understand the treatment and to visualize the long-term results.
Step 3
Skin cleaning and disinfection
Carefully removing all traces of gel, makeup and lipid film is an essential step in the treatment of RF Microneedling. It is also important to disinfect the skin well in order to create an adequate and sterile canvas for the procedure.
Step 4
Application of an anesthetic gel
Desensitizing the skin with a numbing gel containing lidocaine will reduce the discomfort experienced during treatment. This product is applied and then left on clean skin for approximately 45 minutes before treatment.
Step 5
Treatment by RF Microneedling
The treatment consists of applying the tip to the skin in order to create, with the needles, the skin microperforations, the depth as well as the intensity of the radiofrequency being determined in advance and managed with precision by the device. The movements of the nozzle are precise and regular at all times. The heat emitted by the radiofrequency is simultaneous with the microneedling and presents minimal discomfort. On some more affected regions, the expert may choose to do a 2nd pass in order to obtain better results. After 45 minutes of topical anesthesia, the actual treatment may take 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

Several sessions, each spaced several weeks apart, may be recommended to achieve the desired goal, depending on your skin condition. Maintaining the results obtained may require several regular treatments.

Contraindications

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should postpone this type of treatment, as should anyone with an active skin infection or immunosuppressive treatment.
