For anyone who doesn't understand microneedling, please visit our page on this fabulous procedure.

Radio frequency has long been known to bulk heat the dermis when used in cosmetic skin care.

The dermis lies directly under the epidermis or top layer and provides support  to the epidermis. The RF micro needling procedure is an energy device which allows penetration of a single use grid of needles through the skin and delivers RF(radio frequency) energy to the dermis only. The full length of the needle is insulated and  only the tip delivers the energy preventing heat buildup  at the top layer of skin. This  feature is so important for skin of color since this device does not injure the delicate melanocytes that are concentrated at the junction between the dermis and epidermis. Radiofrequency micro needling may help lessen the severity of melasma which is a  hormone related skin pigmentation.  There are several approaches in dealing with melasma. Treating this condition with energy that concentrates on the top layer of skin can actually make the melasma come back even more fierce. RF micro needling can help with this problem by gently distributing  the pigment to minimize its presentation.
