RF Microneedling in Portland

RF Microneedling, or radiofrequency microneedling, is an advanced aesthetic treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance by stimulating collagen and elastin production. Microneedling uses fine needles to create tiny punctures or micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response and stimulating collagen and elastin production. Simultaneously, the device delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis, which heats the underlying layers of the skin, enhancing collagen and elastin production even further.

At Après Plastic Surgery, we use the Potenza device for our RF Microneedling treatments, setting a new standard in skin rejuvenation. The Potenza device is the world’s first FDA-cleared four-mode RF Microneedling system, offering unmatched versatility and precision. Potenza’s effectiveness lies in its ability to operate in monopolar or bipolar modes at either 1 MHz or 2 MHz frequencies. It features Tiger Tip technology, which allows for more efficient treatments by targeting more tissue per treatment pass. It can also precisely control the depth of needle penetration and the intensity of radiofrequency energy. This level of customization and flexibility ensures that every treatment is tailored to the patient’s skin type and concerns, optimizing outcomes.

Our Portland RF Microneedling candidates are typically seeking treatment to address skin concerns like fine lines, creases, wrinkles, laxity, scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture. Both men and women of just about any age who would like general skin rejuvenation are great candidates. However, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those with active skin infections, or patients who are prone to keloid scarring should avoid this treatment.
