Prolift Dual RF Microneedling (RFM/HIFU)

Prolift Dual RF Microneedling in Ottawa, also known as Prolift RF Microneedling with High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that combines two advanced skin rejuvenation technologies: Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling and HIFU. This combination aims to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness while addressing various skin concerns such as wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and sagging skin.

How Does RF Microneedling Work?

The treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. During the procedure, tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries while radiofrequency energy is delivered into deeper skin layers, triggering collagen remodelling and tightening. This dual combination of technologies makes this non-invasive skincare treatment a versatile and effective choice.

What is HIFU?

HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound. HIFU treatment uses focused ultrasound energy to target the deeper layers of the skin and underlying tissues. This energy heats the tissues, causing immediate contraction and stimulation of collagen production. HIFU is particularly effective for skin tightening and lifting.

After your RF microneedling treatment in Ottawa, it's important to follow post-treatment instructions for optimal results. There is minimal downtime associated with Prolift Dual RF Microneedling. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a day or two. However, it is advisable to avoid strenuous exercise, hot baths, and sun exposure for a few days post-treatment. Additionally, ensure you keep the treated area clean and moisturized, and avoid using any harsh skincare products that might irritate the skin. Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen is also crucial to protect your skin and maintain the benefits of the treatment.

FAQ

Prolift Dual RF Microneedling is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that combines radiofrequency (RF) microneedling and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness. It is designed to address wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and sagging skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production.

The treatment involves two steps:

  • RF Microneedling: Fine needles create micro-injuries in the skin and deliver RF energy to the deeper layers, promoting collagen and elastin production.
  • HIFU: Focused ultrasound energy targets the deeper skin layers and underlying tissues, causing tissue contraction and further stimulating collagen production.

This treatment can address various skin concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sagging skin
  • Acne scars
  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin texture and tone

Prolift Dual RF Microneedling is suitable for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, and other skin imperfections. A consultation with a qualified practitioner is recommended to determine if this treatment is right for you.

The number of sessions needed varies depending on the individual's skin condition and desired results. Typically, a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.

 

You may experience redness, swelling, and minor bruising immediately after the treatment, which typically subsides within a few days. Post-treatment care instructions will be provided to enhance recovery and results.

 

A topical anesthetic is applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort. Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort during the treatment, which is well-tolerated.

 

Results can vary, but most patients notice an improvement in their skin's appearance within a few weeks. The effects of increased collagen and elastin production can last for several months to a year, with maintenance treatments recommended to sustain the results.
