Copper + HA Mist: The Post-Treatment Care You Need for Radio Frequency Micro-Needling

As we age, our skin undergoes a series of changes, from loss of elasticity to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Fortunately, there are several non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatments available today that can help us look and feel younger. One such treatment is radio frequency micro-needling, which combines the benefits of micro-needling with the added advantage of radio frequency energy.
What is Radio Frequency Micro-Needling?
Radio frequency micro-needling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, which in turn promotes the production of collagen and elastin in the skin.
What sets MDPen apart from other micro-needling devices is the addition of radiofrequency energy. This energy is delivered through the needles, which creates heat in the skin, leading to even more collagen and elastin production. The variable pulse mode creates a volumetric buildup of energy without causin damage to the epidermidis, along with reducing the amount of discomfort for the patient. The result is smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
Benefits of Radio Frequency Micro-Needling
- Reduced Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles. One of the most significant benefits of radio frequency micro-needling is the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. The controlled micro-injuries created by the tiny needles trigger the body’s natural healing process, which stimulates collagen and elastin production. This increased production leads to smoother, tighter skin, which in turn reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Improved Skin Texture and Tone. In addition to reducing fine lines and wrinkles, radio frequency micro-needling can also improve the texture and tone of the skin. The micro-injuries and radio frequency energy stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin fibers, which helps to firm and tighten the skin. This can result in a more even skin tone and a smoother overall texture.
- Reduced Appearance of Scarring. This radio frequency micro-needling can also be used to reduce the appearance of scarring. The controlled micro-injuries created by the needles stimulate collagen and elastin production, which can help to improve the texture and tone of scar tissue. Over time, this can lead to a reduction in the appearance of scars.
- Minimally Invasive with Little Downtime. Unlike more invasive procedures such as surgery, radio frequency micro-needling is a minimally invasive treatment that requires little downtime. Patients can return to their daily activities shortly after the procedure, and any redness or swelling typically subsides within a few days.
The Role of Copper Mist in Post-Treatment Care
After a radio frequency micro-needling treatment, it is essential to take proper care of the skin to maximize the benefits of the procedure. One such way is to use Copper + HA Mist, which is a spray that contains copper peptides.
Copper peptides are naturally occurring compounds that have been shown to have several benefits for the skin. They can help to improve the production of collagen and elastin, which can lead to smoother, firmer skin. Additionally, copper peptides have antioxidant properties, which can help to protect the skin from free radical damage.
When used as part of post-treatment care after radio frequency micro-needling, Copper + HA Mist can help to soothe and hydrate the skin. It can also help to reduce redness and inflammation, which can speed up the recovery process.
