Skin Tightening and Radio Frequency
Dermatologists frequently tighten the skin using radiofrequency technology. Depressed acne scars become less noticeable when the skin tightens.
Non-ablative radiofrequency is a recent method for treating acne scars that is safe for all skin tones. Radiofrequency works by passing a current through the dermis at a predetermined depth to create tiny wounds. These wounds then stimulate dermal remodeling, which leads to the production of new collagen and the softening of scar defects. It is a more recent procedure. Therefore, it is frequently less expensive.
Repeat consultations are necessary for radiofrequency. Most patients come back once a month for four months. After receiving radiofrequency therapy, many patients report experiencing burning for around an hour and having pinkish skin for two to three days. Erythema, scabbing, and temporary soreness are examples of common side effects.
Some at-home maintenance is necessary after radiofrequency treatments. Moreover, patients must use a moisturizer at night and sunscreen in the morning for at least a week following each treatment.
