Experience The Power Of Pixel8-RF
Pixel8-RF Microneedling is a cutting-edge treatment that combines the power of radiofrequency (RF) energy with the precision of microneedling to deliver exceptional results in skin rejuvenation. This innovative procedure targets a wide range of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven texture, and laxity, providing noticeable improvements with minimal downtime.
During the Pixel8-RF Microneedling treatment, ultrafine needles create microscopic channels in the skin's surface, stimulating the body's natural healing response. Simultaneously, radiofrequency energy is delivered deep into the skin through these channels, heating the underlying layers and triggering collagen production. This dual-action approach promotes skin tightening, smoothing, and overall rejuvenation from the inside out.
Key Treatments:
Skin Tightening: Pixel8-RF utilizes fractional radiofrequency microneedling technology to stimulate collagen production, resulting in tighter and firmer skin. It's ideal for reducing sagging skin on the face, neck, and body.
Acne Scar Reduction: Pixel8-RF effectively reduces the appearance of acne scars by promoting collagen remodeling and skin regeneration. It helps to smooth out the skin's texture and diminish the visibility of acne scars for a more even complexion.
Wrinkle Reduction: Pixel8-RF targets fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. This results in smoother and more youthful-looking skin, particularly around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
Skin Resurfacing: Pixel8-RF gently exfoliates the skin's surface and promotes cellular turnover, leading to improved skin texture and tone. It's an effective treatment for reducing roughness, dullness, and uneven pigmentation.
Scar Revision: Whether from surgery, injury, or other causes, Pixel8-RF can help minimize the appearance of scars by promoting tissue remodeling and collagen synthesis. It's suitable for various types of scars, including surgical scars and stretch marks.
Pore Size Reduction: Pixel8-RF tightens enlarged pores by stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity. This leads to a smoother skin surface and reduced visibility of pores, resulting in a more refined and uniform complexion.

Skincare Products:
Refrain from using irritating skincare products such as Retin-A or OBAGI for one week prior to treatment.
NSAIDs:
Avoid taking NSAIDs like Advil, Motrin, Aleve, or aspirin for one week before the scheduled procedure.
Dental Work:
Patients with dental crowns, caps, braces, or other metal dental implants may experience increased sensitivity. The clinician may use gauze or a tongue depressor to isolate the area for comfort during treatment.
Post-Treatment Information
Discomfort and Redness:
Expect some discomfort, redness, and/or irritation during and after treatment. Notify the treatment facility if any discomfort persists beyond 24 hours.
Scab Formation:
Tiny scabs may form 24-72 hours post-treatment. Avoid touching or scratching the scabs, allowing them to shed naturally.
