About Microneedling
Microneedling creates small punctures in the skin. Certain devices are cleared for specific scars and wrinkles; suitability depends on the device, treatment area and your skin. Review bleeding, infection and pigmentation risks before deciding.
Is radiofrequency microneedling the same procedure?
It adds energy to the needles and has a different risk profile. Confirm the exact method; FDA has warned of serious complications with certain RF microneedling uses.
What should I review before deciding?
Ask about the exact treatment, risks, alternatives, recovery and full cost. An assessment helps determine whether an option is appropriate for you.
