Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that encourages collagen production by triggering the body’s natural healing response to stimulate the growth of healthy new skin. Compared with chemical peels and dermabrasion treatments, radiofrequency microneedling is minimally invasive. Microneedling in Denver at La Fontaine Aesthetics may be your solution to various skin concerns so you can experience a restored youthful appearance.
Microneedling uses a fine needle to create micro-wounds, or channels, in the facial skin. This triggers the production of capillaries, elastin, and collagen to encourage your own natural healing response. Radiofrequency microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses radiofrequency waves in addition to tiny needles. The needle releases radiofrequency into the channels, which enhances the effects of standard microneedling.
