VIRTUAL CONSULT Main Menu SCARLET & AGNES RF MICRONEEDLING REMODEL YOUR SKIN—FROM THE INSIDE OUT RF microneedling with Scarlet RF and Agnes RF is a revolutionary treatment that utilizes tiny “micro” needles that penetrate to the depth of our choosing and release radiofrequency energy. Microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy is a great, minimally-invasive combination that stimulates collagen and addresses sun damage and other common signs of aging. Utilizing microneedling in a client’s treatment plan helps us reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, scars, stretch marks, and smaller areas of loose skin. When you book RF microneedling in The Woodlands at Medical Aesthetics & Laser, we will first discuss your skin type, your specific concerns, and the treatment area you’d like to address to tailor a unique treatment plan just for you.

HOW IT WORKS When you come to Medical Aesthetics & Laser for Scarlet & Agnes RF microneedling in The Woodlands, we maximize your comfort by first applying a topical anesthetic before we begin the procedure. We then prepare the treatment area. Once you are numb, we will turn on the correct settings and use the handpiece uniformly over the skin until the treatment is complete. Skin will first be red and swollen, feeling like a sunburn, which will quickly subside. When the skin heals, it’s time to reveal gorgeous new skin. Consider coming to us for a HydraFacial when your skin heals for an even more effective treatment! Scarlet & Agnes RF microneedling is basically the upgraded version of traditional microneedling. With a traditional treatment, a handheld piece runs along your skin to create tiny micro-wounds. Those micro-wounds jumpstart the body’s natural healing process, leading to a boost in collagen production. If you don’t know what that means, collagen is your best friend for tightening your skin and reducing wrinkles. RF energy increases the temperature of skin tissue, which causes thermal damage (it sounds worse than what it is!). Thermal damage then stimulates something called neocollagenesis— or in other words, the collagen-making process. INSTRUCTIONS Pre-Treatment Instructions for Scarlet & Agnes RF Microneedling in The Woodlands In the time leading up to your Scarlet or Agnes RF treatment with Medical Aesthetics & Laser in the Woodlands, we suggest: Avoid the use of retinoids, topical antibiotics, exfoliants, AHAs (e.g. glycolic acid) and BHAs (e.g. salicylic acid), and other topical agents that increase skin sensitivity for at least a week before your treatment. Do not take anti-inflammatory and blood-thinning medications such as ibuprofen, aspirin, ginkgo, vitamin E, fish oil, for at least 3 days to avoid interference with the natural inflammatory process. Do not have any IPL/Laser procedures for two weeks prior. Avoid sun exposure and all tanning methods for at least two weeks. Do not wax, epilate, use electrolysis, or any other hair removal methods on the treatment area for at least a week prior. Do not shave the treatment area the day of the procedure to avoid irritation. If you have dense hair, closely shave the area the day before your appointment. Ensure you are properly hydrated as this helps the healing process. Tell your specialist if you have been on Accutane in the last six months or if you are prone to cold sores. Please arrive with a bare treatment area, clean of any lotion, oil, makeup, powder, perfume, or sunscreen. Post-Treatment Care for Scarlet & Agnes RF Microneedling in The Woodlands Following your RF microneedling treatment, your skin will be red and swollen. This is expected and should subside after 24 to 48 hours. Important post-treatment care to expect includes: Avoid using anti-inflammatory medications (ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, etc.) for at least a week. You may use Tylenol for any soreness. Wait at least 4 hours, then gently wash with a gentle cleanser and cool water, using only clean hands. Do NOT ice the face or use any arnica or bromelain to avoid interfering with the natural inflammatory process. Avoid strenuous exercise that causes sweating, as well as saunas, jacuzzis, and steam baths for at least 48 hours. Sleep on your back with your head elevated to minimize swelling or pain as needed for 2 to 3 days. Do NOT pick, scratch, or scrub any peeling or scabbed skin. Allow this to occur naturally and keep skin moisturized at all times with a hyaluronic acid serum. Avoid topical skincare and Retin-A products for 5 days or until completely healed. Schedule follow up and repeat treatments after 4 to 6 weeks to continue to see results!
