and Micro-Needling
In an era that pursues eternal youth, more and more people wish to enhance their facial features, particularly addressing issues like jowls and nasolabial folds. Finding effective ways to combat these signs of aging has become a hot topic of discussion. Today, we will delve into the perfect combination of monopolar radiofrequency and micro-needling treatments to help you regain your youthful radiance.
In the medical aesthetics market, various anti-aging techniques are emerging, but why do many people still choose monopolar radiofrequency as their primary option? This is largely because, with aging, the ligaments in facial skin gradually loosen, and collagen loss leads to the once-tight facial contours becoming slack, resulting in jowls and nasolabial folds. This natural phenomenon caused by gravity is something many people struggle to face.
In a practical case, a colleague asked me how to improve his noticeable jowls and the unclear jawline. Addressing his needs, I first enhanced the ligaments around his eyes to lift the outer corners of the eyes and brows, thereby reducing the prominence of the nasolabial folds. With these subtle adjustments, his overall facial shape began to appear smaller and more angular.
In addition to improving facial contours, another significant advantage of monopolar radiofrequency is its ability to noticeably improve skin texture. Many patients notice that their skin becomes firmer and smoother after treatment.
As for combining monopolar radiofrequency with other treatments, this is also a concern for many clients. For older clients or those with a slimmer physique, it’s advisable to administer hyaluronic acid or poly-L-lactic acid fillers after the monopolar radiofrequency session to achieve immediate volumizing effects. For clients whose conditions are less pronounced, fillers can be scheduled one to two months later to allow for a more natural emergence of treatment results.
Botulinum toxin is also very helpful in maintaining lifting effects. After completing a monopolar radiofrequency treatment, botulinum toxin can be safely administered to avoid unnecessary skin pulling.
Generally speaking, any swelling from monopolar radiofrequency treatment usually subsides within seven days, with effects lasting about a year. This depends on individual skin conditions, age, and lifestyle factors. Young people typically have better collagen regeneration capabilities than older adults, meaning treatment results may vary across different age groups.
When discussing the indications for monopolar radiofrequency, it’s crucial to understand which factors might influence the safety of the procedure. Pregnant women or individuals with implanted devices like pacemakers should not undergo this procedure. Some mild skin issues, such as minor acne, may still be treated; however, for serious skin conditions, it is advisable to seek other safe options.
For clients looking to combat aging but who have a slimmer physique, monopolar radiofrequency is also an excellent choice. After the treatment, considering fillers appropriately can help achieve the desired effects. Whether it’s making the apples of the cheeks rounder or improving jowls, professional doctors can assist in customizing the appropriate treatment for you.
