RF Microneedling and Direct Primary Care (DPC): Radiant Skin, Personalized
If you don't feel good about your skin because of acne scars, wrinkles, or uneven texture, RF microneedling can help. But figuring out cosmetic treatments can be hard. Direct Primary Care (DPC) makes this journey easier by giving you coordinated, caring care that will make you feel good about yourself.
What is RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling uses tiny needles and radiofrequency energy to boost collagen. It helps with scars, wrinkles, loose skin, and stretch marks. Needs 3 to 6 sessions, with 4 to 6 weeks between each one.
Important information for patients:
- Uses: Get rid of acne scars, fine lines, large pores, or rough skin.
- Safety: There is only a 1–2% chance of burns or infection, and redness and swelling can last for 2–5 days.
- Costs: Standard clinics charge between 500 USD and 1,500 USD per session, but DPC lowers fees by 20% to 30%.
Risks of broken care:
- Areas that need more sessions because they haven't been treated enough.
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation due to inadequate aftercare.
- Unplanned touch-ups put a strain on finances.
