When you think of healthy skin, you probably think firm, even, and smooth. But as we age and our collagen production decreases, these qualities become less and less prominent. Dark spots appear, and skin starts to sag.
With modern aesthetic technology, you don’t have to deal with loose and sagging skin forever.
At Harbour Direct Primary Care, we use RF microneedling to boost collagen in Jamestown, RI. Read on to learn more about this process and how it works.
What is collagen?
Collagen is a protein that maintains the skin’s health and structure. It gives internal support to keep skin firm and smooth. But your body produces less as you age, so over time, your skin begins to thin and sag.
Additionally, collagen supports healing. If you have an injury, like a cut or abrasion on the surface of the skin, the body sends collagen proteins to that area to help rebuild the skin.
We can take advantage of this natural process to tighten skin and reduce wrinkles.
Exion RF Microneedling
Exion RF Microneedling is a skin-tightening treatment that uses the body’s natural healing process to restore skin health and texture. It works with the help of a needle-tipped treatment applicator.
Providers press the applicator into the skin, which creates tiny “micro-injuries” on the surface. The body sends collagen proteins into the treatment area to heal those irritations, which provides the skin with renewed structure.
At the same time, the treatment applicator infuses the punctures with radiofrequency energy for boosted collagen production and skin-tightening results. RF microneedling is also an excellent wrinkle treatment, and it can reduce acne scars, burns, and enlarged pores.
