Can RF Microneedling Treatments Diminish Facial Scarring?

Acne scars, surgical scars, and burn marks can be embarrassing and emotionally distressing. Many people turn to radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatments at Radiant Skin when drugstore ointments fail to diminish these marks. Dr. Marwan Mustaklem offers Morpheus8™ technology to encourage natural collagen production and generate smoother, healthier-looking skin.

Anyone interested in this minimally invasive procedure can call our office in Zionsville, IN to book an appointment and discuss individual goals. We invite patients to come in and explore the revolutionary Morpheus8 RF microneedling device for facial scars.

How do facial scars form?

Scars are areas of thickened, discolored skin caused by trauma or surgery. The body’s natural healing process consists of rebuilding and repairing broken tissue with collagen to form what looks like a scar over the affected area.

Scars can be itchy, painful, and tender, in addition to causing emotional distress. Though some over-the-counter ointments and gels may not be enough to reduce the appearance of scars, RF microneedling can.

What is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 combines two powerful treatments into one. The innovative device uses radiofrequency energy to heat deep layers of skin. At the same time, we use tiny micro-needles to penetrate the skin without causing trauma or inflammation. This combination works to remodel the tissue beneath the surface, visibly softening scars and creating smoother, more even-toned skin.

There are many reasons to consider RF microneedling treatments at Radiant Skin in Zionsville, IN:

• Safety: Our modern facility is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and top-notch methods for optimal safety and comfort.
• Results: Patients often see remarkable improvements in acne scars and other marks right away, with results continuing to develop in the weeks following treatment.
• Convenience: Our services are in-office and come with minimal downtime, so patients can easily fit appointments into their daily routines.

What happens during RF microneedling treatment?

Dr. Mustaklem will want to assess your facial scars before beginning Morpheus8 treatments. This allows us to plan the best approach for your individual goals. RF microneedling requires a local anesthetic, so the process is relatively comfortable.

The Morpheus8 device is then passed over your face in circular motions. The needles penetrate down to the tissue and send radiofrequency waves through your skin, stimulating collagen production and contracting the skin around scars.

After treatment, you may experience some redness and mild swelling. However, following our post-care instructions will quickly resolve these side effects. Repeated sessions are necessary for optimal outcomes. You should begin to see results within a few weeks of your first treatment.

What to expect in terms of results

Patients should understand that while the cutting-edge Morpheus8 device can diminish the appearance of facial scars, treatment may not make them vanish entirely. Results depend on your age, skin type, and the severity of your scarring. Dr. Mustaklem can discuss what is possible based on your case.

Knowing this, we believe that RF microneedling is an effective solution for scars and other common cosmetic issues. Your skin should appear smoother and more even, with improved texture and tone.
