bikini or popping off your sweaty shirt during a morning jog, you want to feel confident about your body. But what if marks from the past have left you feeling self-conscious about your skin?
Acne is a big enough problem as it is, but the worst cases of acne can leave prominent scars. And back acne, or “bacne,” is no exception.
If you’ve ever wondered how to get rid of bacne scars in Portage, contact our team at Southwest Michigan Plastic Surgery & Med Spa. Meet with our team about an RF microneedling treatment.
The Science Behind RF Microneedling
At Southwest Michigan Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, we prefer the Morpheus8 and the Cutera Secret devices for RF microneedling.
The microneedling treatment works with the help of a special hand-operated applicator tipped with numerous tiny needles. When these needles come into contact with the patient’s skin, they inflict small, harmless injuries which invoke the body’s natural healing process.
The body produces collagen and elastin proteins, which help create new tissue, eliminating bacne scars for a fresher look.
The “RF” in RF microneedling stands for radiofrequency, and this energy can help tighten skin for a more natural, youthful appearance. This treatment attacks bacne from all angles for serious results.
The Microneedling Process
The microneedling process is quite simple.
The treatment is traditionally comfortable enough that patients don’t need anesthesia, but if it would make them more comfortable, we can provide a topical numbing agent. We can also offer Pro-Nox. This is an inhalant that eases stress and relaxes the patient.
The microneedling treatment only lasts about an hour, and there’s no downtime. You may see some redness or swelling in the treatment area, but these effects generally resolve in a few days. And if you’re receiving a microneedling treatment for bacne, the swelling likely won’t be visible, so you can go about your day as usual.
You may need 2 to 4 treatments for the best results, and we’ll schedule your next treatment after the procedure.
