PIXEl-8 RF Microneedling

Starting at $575

FDA-Approved PROFESSIONAL MICRONEEDLING DEVICE

Microneedling falls under a process called collagen induction therapy, or CIT, which relies on skin’s natural ability to repair itself after an injury. Unlike typical exfoliation treatments, RF microneedling penetrates past the stratum corneum and brings heat into the sub-dermis, stimulating and remodeling the collagen within. Think of it as a non-surgical facelift!

RF microneedling procedure can be used to improve the appearance of:

  • Enlarged pores

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Facial acne scars

  • Stretch marks

  • Hyperpigmentation

  • Uneven skin tone

  • Crepey skin

  • Skin texture

  • And more!

WHY THE PIXEL8-RF MICRONEEDLING SYSTEM?

The PiXel8-RF system facilitates non-surgical skin tightening using bi-polar RF energy and minimally invasive microneedles to drive heat deep within the patient’s skin layers. The heat stimulates and remodels collagen and prompts the elastin cells to regenerate. The treatment requires little to no downtime and results in a skin surface that is firmer, smoother, and more even

The medical grade FDA-cleared PiXel8-RF microneedling device uses tiny needles to penetrate the stratum corneum and administer heat with bi-polar radiofrequency energy. The heat stimulates and remodels the collagen within the skin, resulting in restored elastin cells and the improved appearance of facial acne scars, stretch marks, and other imperfections in a short time.

The PiXel8-RF microneedling system is a professional device providing the perfect non-surgical solution for common skin concerns like skin tightening, scar fading, reducing the size of pores, and more. The safe and effective microneedling procedure is minimally invasive with little to no downtime. It is suitable for all skin types and a variety of issues, and the PiXel8-RF’s built-in safety features reduce possible risks.
