With the micro-injuries created by the treatment’s tiny needles—and those created in deeper thermal layers by the RF energy—your skin may appear reddish in the treatment areas for 24 to 48 hours.
This redness can look similar to a mild sunburn, and may have similar sensitivity, though it won’t peel or blister like a sunburn.
The treatment area may incur minor swelling for a few days. The RF Microneedling device head has a series of tiny needs that stamp the skin, and this may create “patterning” which fades in a few days.
You may experience minor “pinpoint” bleeding and slight bruising, which will fade quickly as your body heals the treatment area.
Your SculptU provider will fill you in on all the details during your consultation so that you’re fully prepared to address any side effects that may occur.
