Radiofrequency Microneedling
A minimally invasive non-surgical treatment that combines Microneedling with radio frequency to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and lift the skin, while also promoting the production of collagen and elastin. The Lumi Plexel treatment is very versatile and can target a wide variety of concerns on both the face and body.
The client will benefit from collagen stimulating effects of both Microneedling and radiofrequency combined in one treatment. Radiofrequency Microneedling can be used for all skin types and tones with minimal downtime meaning you can return to your normal routine quickly.
Radiofrequency heats the skin to between 40-42 degrees to promote collagen production while Microneedling creates micro injuries at different depths depending on the lesion and area being treated to promote wound healing and consequently collagen and elastin production.
Concerns that can be treated include uneven skin texture, large pores, fine lines and wrinkles, skin laxity, acne scars and stretch marks.
