What is radiofrequency and plasma resurfacing?

The skin resurfacing treatments offered at Renew MedSpa are FDA-approved procedures that uses thermal energy to reveal youthful, rejuvenated skin. These treatments differ from previous treatments because, rather than removing the surface layer of the skin, it stimulates a natural rejuvenation process below the top layer of the skin to improve skin tone and texture. As a newer type of skin therapy, these skin resurfacing treatments are unique, non-laser, build collagen, and significantly rejuvenates your skin.

How does skin resurfacing work?

To understand how plasma skin regeneration works, a basic understanding of skin structure is required. Briefly, the skin consists of three layers – the epidermis, dermis, and subcutis. The epidermis contains pigment-producing cells called melanocytes, which are responsible for skin coloring. The dermis is made up of collagen and elastin fibers that provide skin with strength, toughness, elasticity, and pliability.

As the body ages, the appearance and characteristics of the skin alter. The epidermis becomes thinner, so blemishes become more visible, and collagen in the dermis is gradually lost, which contributes to the formation of facial lines, sagging skin, and wrinkles.

Our skin regeneration technology uses energy delivered from radiofrequency and fractionated plasma rather than light or radiofrequency alone. The energy delivered produces a heating action that works at the skin’s surface to remove old photodamaged epidermal cells and below the skin surface or dermis to promote collagen growth.

With less trauma than ablative (melting) procedures, healing is rapid. Recovery time is minimal and easily tolerated while improvements are dramatic and long lasting. Surface improvements will appear quickly, and deep dermal collagen remodeling continues for months to years. Clinical studies have shown continuous improvements for as long as one year after treatment.

What does the procedure feel like?

A prescription strength topical numbing cream is applied to the skin prior to the procedure, which ensures the patient doesn’t feel any discomfort during the procedure. Our clients have reported feeling little to no discomfort during their treatment.

How long does the procedure take?

A full-face and neck treatment takes about 20 minutes after numbing.

What should I expect following treatment?

After treatment, your skin will be red and blotchy for 1 to 3 days. You may also experience mild to moderate swelling for 1 to 2 days. You can wear makeup 24 hours after your treatment. Your treatment includes an aftercare post-treatment healing serum, and your technician will provide you with instructions.

What improvements can I expect after my treatment?

You will see improvements in skin texture, skin tone, a reduction in wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and other discolorations, and any bumps and moles can be removed as well while you are numb. Additionally, active acne will be reduced by 20%. New collagen growth will improve facial contours and soften and eliminate fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen building occurs with each treatment and takes several weeks to complete.

Is the procedure safe?

The skin resurfacing treatments we offer at Renew MedSpa are FDA approved and do not have excessive downtime, scarring, hypopigmentation, or prolonged hyperpigmentation associated with other light or ablative laser treatments.
