RF Microneedling in Texarkana

After you have received 3 treatments of VoluDerm RF microneedling in Texarkana, your results can be permanent—so long as you maintain them. We can schedule appointments annually in order to keep your skin as firm as possible.

We strongly recommend maintenance visits because collagen production continues to slow as you age. Eventually, your skin stops creating this protein altogether. If you do not stay ahead of this decrease in collagen, signs of aging may become more prominent sooner. Each session of VoluDerm helps keep your production levels high for up to a whole year at a time. Between appointments, we suggest using clinical skincare regularly to maintain your smooth appearance and healthy firmness.

Conventional microneedling uses a special applicator with tiny needles in its tip to activate your body’s healing response. By inserting these needles into your skin, your tissues receive micro wounds that are just deep enough to stimulate rejuvenation. One of the advantages is that your collagen production increases to help address the injuries. This helps tighten your skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and laxity.

Radiofrequency (RF) energy makes this increase in collagen even more powerful. A VoluDerm applicator uses electrodes to penetrate deep into your skin with radiofrequency energy, creating a thermal reaction. Combining the micro wounds with RF energy means your body responds twice as much to your treatment area. This further boosts your protein production as a result.

Staying hydrated is crucial to RF microneedling recovery. Since the thermal energy generated by the VoluDerm device targets the water in your fat cells, proper hydration makes the treatment even more effective.

Avoid tanning beds, sun exposure, intense pulsed light therapy, and laser procedures starting 2 weeks before your visit. Stop using skin products that increase sensitivity for at least 1 week before your appointment. This includes retinoids, topical antibiotics, exfoliants, glycolic acid, and salicylic acid. Do not take anti-inflammatory medications or blood thinners during this time, either.

Do not epilate or wax the treatment area within 1 week of your RF microneedling in Texarkana. You should especially avoid this on the day of your treatment to reduce your chances of irritation. If you have dense hair, you may shave the day before your appointment.

While both of these devices can provide you with RF microneedling, patients often report that VoluDerm is less painful. This means you can get the same stellar results as Morpheus8 without the increased discomfort!

We often recommend VoluDerm over Morpheus8 for those who want to treat more delicate areas. There are many areas along the face that VoluDerm can treat more efficiently thanks to its gentler approach. If you have thinner skin, VoluDerm may be a better option for you over Morpheus8.

The typical course of treatment takes 3 sessions that we usually space out 4 to 6 weeks to allow your natural skin cycle time for rejuvenation. Results continue to improve over 6- 9 months before you can see full results. After that, maintenance may be necessary to ensure your skin stays firm.

As for the results themselves, you are likely to notice an increase in tightness thanks to the higher levels of collagen. This helps smooth out wrinkles and folds while decreasing skin laxity. Even large pores can appear smaller thanks to the firming effect of RF microneedling in Texarkana.
