Besides Using Skincare, Do Minimal Invasive Treatment to Keep Your Face Youthful

Dream - More and more women and men are paying attention to signs of aging on their faces. This can be seen from the high interest of the community in skincare products that contain retinol or other anti-aging active ingredients.

In addition, there are quite a few public figures who are seen undergoing treatments at beauty clinics to make their faces firm and smooth again.

This statement is also supported by a JAKPAT study in 2021 which found that 76 percent of Indonesian women feel that aging symptoms are a serious problem that needs to be addressed.

Tightening the skin and disguising other signs of aging such as fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkles require gradual treatments. Especially if you do it by using skincare products.

If you want faster results, you need non-invasive, minimally invasive, or invasive procedures. However, according to Plastic Surgeon Pier Rovatti, the trend of plastic surgery has declined. This includes when patients want to make their faces look younger.

"The trend has changed and evolved. The trend of plastic surgery has decreased. I want to adapt by using tools that can be used to change the texture of the face without plastic surgery," he said during the launch of Morpheus 8 with Regenesis at the Sheraton Hotel, South Jakarta, on Saturday, July 30, 2022.

Non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures also appear to be safer and more comfortable for patients. The results are also easier to control because the treatments must be done gradually and have minimal side effects.

One of the minimally invasive treatments that can be done to address signs of aging and other skin problems is using microneedle radiofrequency devices. The use of these devices has become a trend in beauty clinics in the United States and Korea.

Treatments using microneedle radiofrequency are done by inserting several needles with a depth of 1-7 millimeters to deliver radiofrequency. This process can stimulate collagen formation and make the skin texture smoother, firmer, and brighter.

So far, this treatment has been done by Kim Kardashian and Iggy Azalea. In Korea, this treatment is also done by young people to prevent signs of aging.

However, the application of this treatment depends on the patient's condition. If it is safe and necessary for the skin, you can do it. But if your skin is still very moisturized and healthy in your teenage or childhood years, it is not recommended.

When the treatment criteria are met, you can try microneedle radiofrequency to address wrinkles, fine lines, stretch marks, dark spots, sagging, and others.

Several doctors who have applied this treatment state that microneedle radiofrequency does not cause excessive pain. The depth of the needles used is also adjusted to the treatment target.

Later, the device will be operated with a pedal that is pressed with the foot. "The needle sizes are prepared for each target area. The needle depth is also adjusted with the machine's calibrated settings," explained Fransiska Simamora, Marketing Manager of Regenesis.

Dr. Rovatti also claims that microneedle radiofrequency has minimal side effects and only causes redness on the skin for 1-2 days. To address this, the doctor will also provide specific skincare products to alleviate the skin condition after the treatment.

"The treatment machine has a heat regulator. So, there is rarely a burning side effect on the skin. Maybe, patients can use moisturizer to minimize the side effects," he said.

If you want to try microneedle radiofrequency treatment, you can visit several clinics that use Morpheus 8 by Inmode for safer, more comfortable, and effective skin care.
