PiXel8-RF (Micro-needling with Radio Frequency)

What is PiXel8-RF?

PiXel8-RF is a minimally invasive fractional, bi-polar, Radio Frequency system that will disperse micro-needles deep within the dermis to produce the dramatic skin tightening and skin rejuvenation and can be used on all areas of the body. PiXel8-RF combines the latest advancement in Micro-Needling and Radio Frequency (RF) Technologies. Offering minimal downtime and pain regardless of skin type.

How does the treatment work?

The PiXel8-RF provides precise and controlled coagulation and homeostasis deep within the dermis to help stimulate collagen, providing dramatic skin tightening and skin rejuvenation. The micro-needle depth can be adjusted for each treatment area. Thereby, allowing for customized treatments to delicate areas such as under eyes, the forehead and cheek bones. It is safe on all skin types and all colors of skin.

What kind of skin conditions can the PiXel8-RF Treat?

Skin Tightening

Wrinkle Reduction

Acne Scar Improvement

Skin Tone & Texture Improvement

Pore Reduction

Scar Reduction

Stretch Mark Reduction

Jowl Lifting

Neck Lifting

Hand Rejuvenation

Is there downtime after the procedure?

One of the greatest things about RF micro-needling, is that the patients usually experience minimal to no downtime and have few restrictions following RF micro-needling treatment. The treated area my be red, lasting 2-3 days. However, a deeper, more aggressive treatment may be required for your desired outcome. Therefore, downtime may increase. Skin may also feel warm, tight and itchy but this will normally resolve in 12-48 hours. Treated skin may be more prone to hyperpigmentation so strict adherence to photoprotection of SPF 50 is advised for a week after.

What is the difference between Micro-needling and Micro-needling RF?

Microneedling is a procedure that uses very fine sterile needles that penetrate the skin causing micro-wounds that stimulate wound healing. As wound healing ensues, collagen and elastic are synthesized, leading to improved skin texture, tightness and softer appearing acne scars. Micro-needling RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency heat energy to amplify collagen and elastin production. Microneedles are inserted into the skin and heat is delivered between the needles to achieve this. Both treatments require a series of treatments for best results and can be safely used on multiple skin types and tones.

What is the benefit of adding platelet rich plasma to both traditional microneedling and microneedling RF?

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a highly concentrated form of platelets and other healing factors derived from a patient’s own blood. Adding PRP topically to the skin after microneedling and microneedling RF accelerates recovery and can improve overall cosmetic outcome by enhancing wound healing. A patient’s blood is drawn, platelets are isolated through a very precise spinning process and then they are applied to the skin after microneedling, microneedling RF or laser resurfacing. PRP travels down the micro-wounds created by these procedures to better penetrate the dermis layer of the skin where they enhance healing, collagen, and elastin synthesis.
