RF Microneedling & HIFU

Here at Medicare Cosmetics in Redcar; Teesside, we are delighted to say we have the Lynton Focus Dual medical grade machine. It consists of RF Micronedling and HIFU within the one machine. The main aim is to provide facial lifting, skin tightening and improving skin quality.

The Focus Dual system utilises a combination of 3 effective anti-aging tools in a single system. The Fractional Needle RF is a combination of Vacuum technology and micro-needle RF. In addition to this, the HIFU hand piece uses High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to produce a pronounced lifting and tightening effect. Radio Frequency Microneedling and HIFU work well in combination for lifting, tightening and firming, achieving optimal rejuvenation.

Why the Focus Dual is different to other devices/machines

Focus Dual is a revolutionary treatment using super fine non-insulated micro-needles which, unlike some laser procedures or surgery, protects the surface of the skin from damage. As treatments are targeted at variable depths below the skin surface, healthy skin is left undamaged causing minimal pain, reduced discomfort and less downtime when compared to invasive procedures. Unlike invasive procedures and many non-invasive procedures, Focus Dual involves limited downtime.

RF Microneedling

How does Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling work?

Ultrafine needles penetrate the skin to different depths whilst simultaneously releasing radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the skin in a controlled manner, stimulating a wound healing response leading to the production of new collagen and elastin. Our clients in Teesside love how natural their skin looks and the results get better and better over time.

Can Radiofrequency Microneedling (RFM) be used on clients of all ages?

Yes, younger skin that doesn’t yet require lifting and tightening can benefit from Microneedling without the RF, where the focus is now more on refining pores, evening out texture and improving overall quality. Older clients with laxity concerns can benefit from the dual effect of the Microneedling with Radiofrequency. As the Focus Dual offers many different needle depths and intensity settings for the RF, treatments can be easily customised for every different skin and level of concern.

What benefits does Radiofrequency Microneedling have for your skin?

Microneedling has several benefits for your skin. The main aim of the treatment is to generate collagen so that your skin feels tighter, smoother, and softer. After treatment you will see a smoothing of visible fine lines and a reduction in the appearance of pores for fresh, bright, and tight skin.

What are the benefits of combining Radiofrequency with Microneedling?

Practitioners have seen much quicker treatment results when combining both radiofrequency

and microneedling. For deep wrinkles, results can be achieved in half the time compared to single, standalone technologies. For skin laxity cases, results can be achieved in half the time compared to single, standalone technologies.

Radiofrequency Microneedling targeted treatments:

Eyebrow lift for loose skin
Smooth acne and surgical scars
Tighten lax skin on the face, neck, chest, hands and body
Shrink large pores and improve uneven skin tone and texture
Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
Reduce stretch marks

HIFU

What is High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)?

HIFU stands for ‘High Intensity Focused Ultrasound’ and it is a non-surgical treatment that uses ultrasound to lift, firm and tighten the skin.

How does HIFU work?

HIFU deposits focused ultrasound energy below the surface of the skin, contracting all skin layers in just one treatment! This stimulates the creation of new collagen in the area. HIFU is highly effective in firming, tightening, and lifting the facial skin and reducing excess skin on the body.

How does HIFU stimulate collagen?

Collagen is a natural protein that gives skin its youthfulness by keeping it firm, tight, and lifted. As we age, collagen loses its structure and its ability to stand up to the effects of gravity. HIFU kickstarts the repair process and helps the skin to produce fresh, strong collagen.

How does the treatment work?

This non-surgical face lift works on the SMAS layer deep below the skin, which is the area surgeons tighten for face and neck lifts. Rather than surgery, the Focus Dual harnesses ultrasound technology to radiate energy to the SMAS layer to tighten, lift and plump the skin.
