Scar-Free Secrets: EXION RF Microneedling's Impact on Scarring - Juniper Face and Figure

By, Brett Ashley McMillan

EXION RF Microneedling is a revolutionary treatment that holds the promise of scar-free skin. Scars, whether from acne, injuries, or surgeries, can be a constant reminder of past skin trauma and may impact self-confidence. However, with the advancement of aesthetic procedures like EXION RF Microneedling, the journey to smoother, more even skin texture is within reach.

EXION RF Microneedling uses the power of radiofrequency (RF) energy and microneedling to target scars and stimulate skin regeneration. By delivering controlled heat deep into the skin’s layers and creating micro-injuries with tiny needles, this treatment triggers the body’s natural healing response. This process promotes collagen production, enhances skin elasticity, and encourages the gradual fading of scars over time.

Benefits of RF Microneedling on Scars

  • Improvement in Skin Texture: As EXION RF Microneedling helps stimulate collagen and elastin production, it can lead to overall improvement in the skin quality such as smoother, softer and more even skin.
  • Minimized Pigmentation: Along with texture improvements, EXION RF Microneedling also targets pigment. The treatment helps regulate melanin production leading to a more even skin tone and the fading of scars.
  • Scar Reduction: With the combination of RF energy and Microneedling we are able to create micro injuries to help break down scar tissue and promote the growth of new skin cells.
  • Increasing Collagen Production: EXION RF Microneedling stimulates the production of collagen which can reduce the appearance of raised scars and help fill in depressed scars. Collagen is extremely important for skin vitality.

Types of Scars That Can Be Treated

Whether you have acne scarring, surgical/hypertrophic scars, or stretch marks, RF Microneedling is the perfect solution for you! With RF Microneedling we can help diminish these different types of scarring and stretch marks and leave one feeling more confident than ever in their skin!

RF Microneedling is particularly beneficial for treating acne scars, including depressed scars (such as icepick, and rolling scars) and raised scars (hypertrophic and keloid scars). The combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy helps break down scar tissue and improve overall skin texture. Whether from cosmetic procedures, surgeries, or injuries, surgical scars can be targeted with EXION RF Microneedling. The treatment can help soften and flatten raised surgical scars, minimize redness and pigmentation, and help them blend with the surrounding skin. While stretch marks aren’t technically scars, they are a form of dermal scarring and they can be treated with EXION RF Microneedling. The treatment can help improve the texture and color of stretch marks, making them less noticeable over time.

Expectations During and After

Expectations can be a scary thing to talk about when discussing aesthetic procedures, but not with EXION RF Microneedling!

EXION RF Microneedling is a non-surgical procedure that requires minimal downtime. Most clients can resume their normal activities shortly after treatment, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.

During: During your RF Microneedling treatment in Bozeman, we’ll prep your skin by thoroughly cleaning the treatment area. You will be completely numb at this point. We’ll answer any remaining questions and go over expectations with you before starting. We’ll complete the treatment at your pace but please know that this is a popular treatment that every client tolerates well. Your skin will look pink and may even feel warm. This usually significantly goes down within an hour but it could last 24 hours or more. We will then go over post-treatment instructions with you so you’ll know how to properly take care of your skin while you heal. 

After: After treatment, you should expect redness and possible swelling for 24-72 hours. However, everyone is different! You can expect to stop use of skincare products with powerful ingredients for a few days. Washing the area with water is okay but it is important to refrain from touching the area for the first day because your skin is open and more susceptible to bacteria. Results may be visible within a few days to weeks as the skin begins to heal and collagen and elastin production start ramping up. Optimal results will be seen with completing three treatment sessions spaced 2-3 weeks apart, and visible results are noticeable by most clients within 2 weeks. Results will peak 3 months from the start of your treatment package. Once completing your RF Microneedling in Bozeman at Juniper, enjoy discounted maintenance sessions at Juniper for LIFE.
