Introduction to RF Microneedling

Your body has some incredible healing abilities, but sometimes, they must be ‘triggered’ to begin working effectively. When you have micro-injuries on your skin, your body produces some incredible internal reactions that heal said injuries and, depending on the technique used, even improve your appearance. RF Microneedling is a non-invasive procedure for skin rejuvenation that entails rapid needle pricks on the patient’s skin, delivering radiofrequency energy that helps stimulate collagen production. This procedure has been used to achieve skin tightening, lifting, plumping, and targeting wrinkles, pores, and scars, not just in the facial area but all over the body. 

The Kaga Academy is located in Red Bank, New Jersey, and conveniently sees RF Microneedling patients from Colts Neck, Little Silver, Fair Haven, Rumson, and other surrounding areas. Whatever township, city, or county you’re coming from, we look forward to helping you achieve the flawless skin you’ve been dreaming of.

What is RF Microneedling?

During RF Microneedling, the treatment area is penetrated with multiple insulated micro-needles. Once at the desired depth in your skin, these microneedles then release Scarlet RF laser energy under the skin’s surface to catalyze collagen production. One might assume that this process is painful, but given that the needles are very small and the pricking is fast, the pain is barely noticeable. Also, patients can use a topical analgesic before the process. Furthermore, there is no visible bruising as the energy work is done beneath the surface of the skin. There is minor redness from the capillaries right below the surface that have been teased with the RF energy, but that resolves within a few days. In time, patients see the impact of the procedure as collagen and elastin production is stimulated.

First Step

What’s the First Step?

The first step to getting RF microneedling from our Boutique Red Bank, NJ practice is to schedule an appointment with Dr. Mai Kaga. During your consultation, she’ll ask about your medical history, aesthetic goals, and the target areas with associated concerns and expectations. She will examine the target areas, and if she deems you a suitable candidate for the procedure, she will draft a treatment plan for you. If you’re comfortable with the treatment plan, our patient coordinator can provide pricing, and scheduling, and share any pre-operative instructions.

What to Expect on the Day of an RF Microneedling Treatment

On the day of your RF microneedling treatment, Dr. Mai Kaga and her friendly staff will welcome you. They will review your treatment plan once more in case of any last-minute questions and/or concerns and then get you settled in one of our state-of-the-art medical rooms.

A topical numbing cream can be applied to numb the target area if required. Once you are numb, we’ll move the RF microneedling device over the target area a few times. Depending on your skin condition and goals, we will select the appropriate depth of microneedle penetration. Microneedle depths can vary from .5mm to 4.0mm deep.

*RF microneedling sessions usually last under an hour if there are no complications.

RF Microneedling Recovery

RF microneedling recovery is very quick. The capillaries under the skin’s surface show mild redness, but it will abate in a day or so. However, patients must stay out of sun exposure for a few days and follow a skincare routine that includes applying a strong SPF sunscreen.
