Compared to a typical laser or micro-needling session, RF is more painful because it penetrates deeply into the skin. Your skin may be topically numbed, injected with a nerve-blocking substance, or at some practises, patients may be given nitrous gas, depending on the equipment utilised. Dr. Ashkan Ghavami, a board-certified plastic surgeon, claims that when selecting RF equipment, he considers the trade-off between effectiveness and pain.
The amount of recovery time and aftercare you need will depend on the kind of treatment
you have and how invasive the surgery was. When the radio frequency is used alone, it frequently feels calming and cosy and doesn’t call for any pause. The healing process will be more involved if micro-needling is used, though. You will depart with nano-injuries to the upper layers of your skin if the treatment involves a combination of radio frequency and micro needling, which makes the skin vulnerable for the first 48 hours. “Wear a hat, sunglasses, and other sun protection to completely avoid the sun. You should refrain from washing or touching your face that evening.”
Day Two Post-Treatment
Although it’s best to avoid using makeup at this point, you can if required. “Do not use exfoliants, retinoids or retinols, dermal brushes, makeup brushes, or any other form of friction-creating material to the skin.”
