At ResonanceMarin, located in the heart of Marin County, Suzanne is one of our specialists in advanced skincare treatments designed to rejuvenate and restore your skin’s natural radiance. Situated in Corte Madera, our spa offers cutting-edge treatments like RF Microneedling (Radio Frequency Microneedling) and RF Nanochanneling, helping clients achieve smoother healthier skin.
These innovative therapies effectively target common concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture, while also lifting and tightening the skin. Below, Suzanne answers some of the most frequently asked questions about microneedling, nanochanneling, and radio frequency treatments, so you can understand what to expect and how to maximize your results.
- Regarding specific skin concerns, what measurable results can I realistically expect from RF Microneedling or Nanochanneling treatments?
These treatments can help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation while improving overall skin tone and texture, especially for dullness. They are also effective in minimizing acne scars, pitting, and other skin irregularities. Additionally, they can lift, tone, and tighten areas like the jowls, crow’s feet, and under-eye bags, as well as reduce pore size.
- Are the treatments suitable for all skin types?
Yes, with some exceptions. For instance, I wouldn’t recommend microneedling for individuals with active acne or open skin lesions.
- When will I start to see those changes?
You may notice visible improvements within a few days. More significant changes become apparent after 3-4 weeks, with results continuing to develop over the following months. By around six months post-treatment, you’ll see the full contouring effects.
- How often do you recommend someone should receive RF Microneedling or Nanochanneling treatments at ResonanceMarin to achieve and maintain optimal results?
For best results, I recommend at least three RF Microneedling sessions spaced 3-6 weeks apart, with Nanochanneling treatments in between to enhance the effects.
- With the combination of the technology used at ResonanceMarin and the added techniques, such as meridian acupuncture, how does that affect the results and longevity of the treatment?
Skincare is a multifaceted approach that involves both routine treatments and advanced techniques to maintain and enhance skin health. Consistency with at-home care, combined with regular spa visits for corrective and advanced treatments, will help improve and extend the longevity of your results.
- How can I proactively support my skin’s health before and after these treatments, and what specific ResonanceMarin-recommended products or practices will enhance my results and minimize any potential side effects?
To maximize your results, what you do before and after your treatment is just as important as the procedure itself.
Before and after care:
- Discontinue use of strong active ingredients like prescription-strength vitamin A (Retin-A or Tretinoin).
- Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol.
- Protect your skin from the sun by wearing SPF.
- Let your skin breathe—avoid makeup immediately post-treatment.
- Refrain from intense workouts and sauna sessions.
- Keep your skincare routine simple and avoid harsh irritants.
ResonanceMarin-recommended products:
- Gentle Cleanser – To cleanse without stripping the skin.
- Hydrate Serum – To maintain hydration and support healing.
- Recovery Cream – To soothe and restore the skin barrier.
- Shield Primer – To protect and enhance skin post-treatment.
