Q&A
How does the treatment work?
The PiXel8-RF provides precise and controlled coagulation and hemostasis deep within the dermis to help stimulate collagen, providing dramatic skin tightening and skin rejuvenation. The micro-needle depth can be adjusted for each treatment area.
Can the PiXel8-RF be used on all skin types?
Yes. Unlike laser treatments, the Pixel8-RF uses only radiofrequency energy. The microneedles precisely deliver the RF energy into the dermis tissue. There is virtually no thermal damage to the epidermis and almost eliminates the risk of PIH in darker skin types and all color of skin.
Is there downtime after the procedure?
One of the greatest things about the RF micro-needling is that patients usually experience minimal to no downtime and have a few restrictions following an RF micro-needling treatment. The treatment area may be red for up to 24 hours.
What should I expect after the PiXel8-RF treatment
After the treatment, most patients will experience redness and some minor swelling. This usually subsides within 24-hours or less. After 24-hours, the patient may apply make-up to the treatment area.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is PiXel8-RF?
PiXel8-RF is an advanced radiofrequency microneedling treatment that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to achieve superior skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and scar improvement. At Purefico MedSpa in Cornelius, NC, PiXel8-RF delivers RF energy deep into the skin through microneedles, stimulating collagen production at multiple depths for dramatic skin rejuvenation results.
How is PiXel8-RF different from regular microneedling?
PiXel8-RF adds radiofrequency energy to traditional microneedling, delivering heat deep into the dermis to enhance collagen production and skin tightening. While regular microneedling relies solely on needle injury to trigger healing, PiXel8-RF combines mechanical and thermal stimulation for more dramatic results, particularly for skin laxity, deep wrinkles, and stubborn scars.
What skin concerns does PiXel8-RF treat?
PiXel8-RF effectively treats moderate to severe wrinkles, skin laxity and sagging, acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, sun damage, and overall skin aging. The treatment is particularly effective for neck tightening, jowl reduction, and areas where traditional microneedling alone provides insufficient results.
Is PiXel8-RF painful?
PiXel8-RF is performed with topical numbing cream and the treatment includes adjustable depth and energy settings for comfort. Most patients report moderate sensation during treatment, described as heat and pressure. At Purefico MedSpa, we customize treatment intensity to your comfort level while maximizing results. The procedure takes 30-60 minutes depending on treatment areas.
How many PiXel8-RF treatments do I need?
Most patients achieve optimal results with 3-4 PiXel8-RF treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Mild concerns may improve with 2-3 sessions, while severe skin laxity or deep scars may require 4-6 treatments. Many Lake Norman area patients see significant improvements after just one treatment, with results continuing to enhance over several months.
When will I see PiXel8-RF results?
You'll notice initial skin tightening and improved texture within 1-2 weeks after PiXel8-RF treatment. Visible improvements in wrinkles, scars, and skin firmness develop over 4-6 weeks as collagen production increases. Optimal results appear at 3-6 months as collagen remodeling continues, with some patients seeing improvements for up to 12 months after treatment.
What is the downtime after PiXel8-RF?
PiXel8-RF downtime is typically 2-4 days. Expect redness, swelling, and possible pinpoint bleeding immediately after treatment, with most symptoms resolving within 48-72 hours.
