RF microneedling
In this treatment two gold stndard technologies are combined ( Miconeedling and Radiofrequency).
Microneedling uses a fine needle to create microwounds, or channels, in the skin. This triggers the production of capillaries, elastin, and collagen. It’s also called skin needling or collagen induction therapy.
Since the procedure also uses radiofrequency waves, it’s called radiofrequency microneedling. The needle releases radiofrequency into the channels, causing additional damage. This enhances the effects of standard microneedling.
At Ziva Skin and Hair center, Microneedling device uses vacuum suction technology to allow the deep penetration of Radiofrequency energy into the dermis layer of the skin. The skin that griows back is thicker and stronger.
