RF Microneedling in Rancho Mirage, CA

Rancho Mirage, CA aesthetic physician, Dr. Art Quintanilla, uses a popular treatment known as radiofrequency (RF) microneedling, a unique technique that creates gorgeous results for our patients. RF techniques have been around for many years and are popular in the cosmetic industry for their skin-tightening effects. This particular type of therapy utilizes heat to promote the production of collagen in the deeper layers of the skin to create a tighter, smoother surface. This technique is combined with microneedling to optimize the results and further enhance the production of collagen. At Desert Medical Rejuvenation, we frequently incorporate this process to help Rancho Mirage, CA patients obtain firmer skin, a smoother texture, and a luminous complexion.

Microneedling RF uses a hand piece attached to a disposable sterile cartridge with microneedles of various depths that carefully penetrate the skin and create microchannels that stimulate collagen. This process is known as collagen induction therapy; thus healthier, smoother skin forms as the skin heals, leaving the surface looking and feeling tighter, brighter, and rejuvenated. Radiofrequency technology has enabled us to maximize patient outcome and results.

There are multiple devices In the aesthetic market for this procedure, among them the Morpheus 8, the Virtue RF and others; we have chosen the FDA cleared and registered device PIXEL-8® from US based manufacturer Rohrer Aesthetics, Inc., because it operates at a proprietary higher frequency with increased delay using insulated needles suitable for all skin types, for enhanced patient comfort and faster treatment times of 20-30 minutes; those qualities plus prior numbing make the procedure fast, easy and painless; the end result is a mild to moderate sunburn like reaction. The procedure can be performed on face, neck, hands, décolletage, body, acne scarring, stretch marks, hypertrophic scars, enlarged pores and such.

Although the procedure is generally comfortable, for those patients with very high levels of anxiety or low levels of tolerance to pain, we offer the use of PRO-NOX®, a device that delivers a mixture of inhaled Oxygen/Nitrous which numbs the patient's sensations for several minutes, enough to allow the doctor to complete the procedure. The patient recovers 100% at the end of the procedure.
