With the new advancements in technology, there are regular developments we witness in the dermatology and the cosmetic industry. One such treatment is Pixel 8 RF; it promotes the tightening and rejuvenating of older skin, smoothing away wrinkles, tightening loose skin, and just providing all-around skin clarity. This procedure combines microneedling with radio frequency energy.

The most used application in Pixel 8-RF is for wrinkles. Topical creams or serums can never achieve such results for wrinkles or fine lines because tightening of the skin happens from beneath the surface, and though these creams and serums provide surface level benefits, these issues require deep penetration. The microneedling component of Pixel 8-RF punctures the skin surface at a superficial level in order to ‘push’ the radiofrequency energy deeper into the deeper layers of the skin to produce more collagen that then fills the wrinkles from below and makes them less apparent.

There are people, especially past the age of 40, who lose collagen build-up that gives skin that ‘plump’ and ‘lift’ look. In terms of skin-tightening, the radiofrequency used in Pixel 8-RF penetrates deep into the skin tissues with controlled heat to stimulate cellular regeneration. The Pixel 8 before and after results show increased production of new collagen and elastin fibers, giving the skin elasticity and tone. Microneedling, meanwhile, by creating tiny perforations in the skin, not only delivers an easy passage for the nutrient rich serums or solutions to be absorbed into the dermis, where collagen production takes place, but also enhances the skin-tightening process by activating receptor sites for improved firmness. The result is healthier skin with higher firmness, which makes facial features look more defined.

It is also useful to improve skin clarity and smooth skin texture. Pixel 8 RF can help to address a number of skin concerns where clarity and texture improvements are desired, including scars from acne, hyperpigmentation, skin texture, and pore congestion. Accumulation of old scar tissue can be broken down with the microneedling procedure while the new skin cells can be reinvigorated to grow stronger. This radiofrequency energy also induces collagen and elastin remodeling, which is thought to work on discoloration and pigmentation. Patients can see clearer and more even-looking skin over time.
