Hey glow-getters! Nurse Terri here, wishing you a big, beautiful Happy Last Month of Summer! Before the pumpkin spice moves in, let’s talk about one of my absolute favorite treatments for smoothing scars, softening texture, and giving your skin a fresh start: RF microneedling.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s good for, what to expect, and if it’s worth the hype… grab your iced matcha and keep reading. You’ll want to share this one. 💌
🩹 What Scars Can RF Microneedling Treat?
This collagen-boosting hero works on:
Acne scars (ice pick, boxcar, rolling)
Surgical or injury scars (raised or indented)
Stretch marks (yes, they’re scars too!)
Post-pregnancy marks (hello, mama glow!)
🚫 Not for: Keloid scars or scars less than 3 months old (those need time to heal first).
💡 Why It Works
Tiny needles create micro-channels in the skin.
Radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers, boosting collagen and elastin production.
Over time, scars soften, skin plumps, and texture evens out.
Bonus: It’s safe for all skin tones.
📅 What to Expect: The Day After (and Beyond)
Day 1 – “Sun-kissed Strawberry” Look - Your skin will be pink to red, maybe slightly puffy. Feels warm like a mild sunburn.🧴 Nurse Tip: Keep it clean, hydrated, and SPF’d. Skip makeup.
Day 2–3 – “Rosé Glow” StageRedness fades to a soft flush. You might feel a little dry or tight.💦 Nurse Tip: Layer on hyaluronic acid or your provider’s recommended post-care serum.
Day 4–7 – “Baby Skin Incoming”Flaking/peeling may happen as old skin cells shed.🌸 Nurse Tip: No picking! Let your skin reveal itself naturally.
Weeks 2–6 – “Collagen Comeback”Your skin keeps improving as collagen remodels. Scars look softer, smoother, and more blended.✨ Nurse Tip: Treatments work best in a series of 3–5, spaced about a month apart.
❓ Nurse Terri’s Fun FAQs
Q: Does it hurt? A: We use numbing cream, so most people just feel a warm, prickly sensation. Think: tiny champagne bubbles under your skin. 🍾
Q: How soon will I see results? A: Some glow in days, but scar changes build over weeks. Collagen is a slow (but loyal) friend.
Q: Can I wear makeup after? A: Wait 24–48 hours. Your skin needs to heal without extra stuff sitting on it.
Q: Will people notice I had something done? A: They’ll notice you’re glowing, but unless they’re skin detectives… probably not.
Q: Can I do this in summer? A: Yes! Just be strict with SPF and avoid direct sun for a few days.
