PiXel8-RF Microneedling
Aging, environmental exposures, and many other factors can lead to skin with a rough or uneven texture or hyperpigmentation. Microneedling is an effective way to trigger skin rejuvenation, increasing your skin’s collagen production and cellular turnover. At El Paso Cosmetic Surgery, we offer PiXel8-RF. It combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy that works deep within the skin for more dramatic improvements.
What is PiXel8-RF Microneedling?
PiXel8-RF is an advanced form of radiofrequency (RF) microneedling that firms and tightens your skin for a more youthful appearance while fading pigmentation problems for brighter skin. It offers one of the most customizable microneedling options, with options to address depths from 0.1mm to 4mm, allowing it to treat the thinnest and thickest skin on any face and making it ideal for men and women.
Treatment with PiXel8-RF stimulates a healing response in the tissues of your dermis, promoting new collagen formation and speeding up the production of healthy new skin cells. As a result, dull and damaged cells at the surface are replaced with vibrant new ones, and your skin becomes firm and smooth.
We recommend PiXel8-RF to treat skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin laxity
- Dullness
- Enlarged pores
- Acne scars and other types of scars
- Acne breakouts
- Hyperpigmentation
- Sun damage
- Uneven texture
Treatment with PiXel8-RF microneedling along the jawline or in the cheek area can restore a more sculpted look and reduce the appearance of loose skin. Its customizable effects allow your El Paso Cosmetic Surgery microneedling expert to treat every area of your face, from the thickest to thinnest and most delicate skin.
What is a PiXel8-RF Microneedling Treatment Like?
Your PiXel8-RF treatment begins with the application of numbing cream on your clean skin. Once this cream has taken effect, most people feel warmth but little to no discomfort. The tiny needles used by this microneedling system are spaced at the optimal distance to treat your skin without overlapping radiofrequency energy that could overheat some spots.
The average session lasts 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. However, you should anticipate additional time for the numbing cream to do its job. We will provide you with preparation instructions and guide you through what to expect.
Recovery and Results After a PiXel8-RF Microneedling Treatment?
You can expect that your skin will look red and feel sensitive and swollen after your microneedling session. How long these effects last and how noticeable they are depends on the intensity of your treatment. You can return to most activities immediately, although you may wish to avoid social obligations for a day or two. Swelling may last up to a week.
Avoid applying irritating products or scrubbing your skin while it heals. Your microneedling expert can recommend skincare products that will benefit your skin after treatment. Wear sunscreen and avoid unnecessary exposure, which will also protect your newly formed collagen.
Many people will see their desired results within three PiXel8-RF sessions, although deeper issues like wrinkles and acne scars may require up to six. While you may start to notice smoother, more even-looking skin within a few weeks, full results will take several months to develop. Results can last a year or more, with many people opting for yearly maintenance sessions to keep their skin healthy and firm.
Am I a Good PiXel8-RF Microneedling Candidate?
Unlike laser energy, radiofrequency is safe for use on all skin tones. Almost anyone with textural or pigmentation concerns can benefit from PiXel8-RF microneedling. Good candidates should have realistic expectations and be in generally good health. The short treatment sessions and minimal downtime help this treatment fit into active schedules so you can achieve firm, even skin without interrupting your life.
You should not have microneedling if you have a skin infection or certain skin conditions. It is not recommended for people with some medical conditions, who are pregnant, or who tend to form abnormal or keloid scars.
