Are you looking for a safe, effective, non-invasive treatment to improve the appearance of your skin or minimize scarring on your face? <strong>Fractional radiofrequency (FR) just might be the solution for you!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>What is fractional radiofrequency?<\/h2>\n<p>This state-of-the-art anti-aging technique aims to renew skin tissue by heating the dermis, leading to contraction of the collagen fibers, stimulating the production of new collagen (a process known as \u201cneocollagenesis\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>By stimulating the production of collagen and elastin fibers, the radiofrequency treatment activates the regenerative capacity of the tissue. The result? The skin of the face is rejuvenated, recovering its youthful tone, elasticity and radiance.<\/p>\n<p>Completely natural and risk-free, this technique can treat a number of skin conditions, including the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Acne scars and other irregularities<\/li>\n<li>Inconsistent texture<\/li>\n<li>Rosacea<\/li>\n<li>Fine lines and wrinkles<\/li>\n<li>Enlarged pores<\/li>\n<li>Brown spots<\/li>\n<li>Seborrheic keratosis<\/li>\n<li>Hyperkeratotic lesions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Currently, two radiofrequency treatments are especially noteworthy for their efficiency: fractional and nanofractional radiofrequency.<\/p>\n<h3>Nanofractional radiofrequency<\/h3>\n<p>Based on nanofractional radiofrequency with SmartScan\u2122 technology, <a href=\"https:\/\/drbernier.com\/en\/aesthetic-medicine\/nanofractional-radiofrequency-venus-viva\/\">our device allows the technician to smooth the patient\u2019s skin with utmost precision<\/a>. It\u2019s the only technology of its kind to give the operator perfect control over ablation, coagulation and smoothing in order to repair skin damage ranging from minimal to severe. In fact, ablation is essential for eliminating the tissue that needs to be regenerated and resurfaced.<\/p>\n<h3>Fractional radiofrequency<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike the nanofractional technique, which uses energy to create perforations in the skin, this fractional radiofrequency treatment requires the use of microneedles to create tiny holes in the skin. However, the goal of the treatment is the same: to stimulate the natural synthesis of collagen, tone and improve the appearance of the skin and erase acne scars and other blemishes. It is known as a \u201chybrid treatment,\u201d as it combines radiofrequency energy with a device similar to that used in microneedling (a procedure that stimulates collagen production with the aid of sterile microneedles).<\/p>\n<h2>Is fractional radiofrequency painful?<\/h2>\n<p>The technician will apply an anesthetic cream approximately one hour before the treatment. However, during the treatment, it\u2019s common to experience a warm, tingling sensation. After the session, the skin may become reddish, warm and slightly inflamed, as if it were sunburnt.<\/p>\n<p>With nanofractional radiofrequency, the pain is mild to moderate, and there will be a 24-hour recovery period. In the case of fractional radiofrequency, the level of pain is moderate to high, and the recovery period will last for 48 hours.<\/p>\n<h2>Who can benefit from radiofrequency?<\/h2>\n<p>Radiofrequency can successfully treat all skin types. This technique is suitable for both men and women, regardless of the color of their skin.<\/p>\n<h3>Would you like to learn more about radiofrequency treatments?<\/h3>\n<p>Restoration of your skin\u2019s beautiful, youthful appearance is within your grasp. <a href=\"https:\/\/drbernier.com\/en\/contact-us\/\">Contact the team at Dr. Mario F.
