What is the Secret Beauty Obsession of Movie Stars

A-listers in Hollywood are using Radio-frequency micro-needling to keep their skin youthful. It has become a very popular treatment, and even the two renowned plastic surgeons from 'Botched' use this treatment. In their clinic NassifMD, they use a device called Skinfinity.

• Skinfinity: a radio-frequency micro-needling device, which includes two tips, a roller tip and a stamping tip
• Roller tip rolls over our skin, generating micro channels, as well as heating properties; combined they induce collagen growth.
• eTwo: is a sublative and a sublime device 
• Sublative: is a micro-needling radio-frequency device, includes two tips; standard and high density which can be used on the face, hands, arms, and other parts of our body as well. 
• Sublime: is a non-invasive wrinkle treatment, uses bi-polar radiofrequency combined with infrared treatment, which can treat various skin conditions.

Can help Treat: 

• Aging- helps reduce wrinkles by skin tightening 
• Acne scars
• Acne 
• Axillary hyperhidrosis 
• Cellulite 
• Stretch marks 
• Hair thinning/ alopecia 
• Rosacea/ postinflammatory erythema 

Dr. Hu's extra boost: 

I like to combine these treatments with PRP. My favorite is the PRP Eclipse harvest system. When combined and centrifuged, it should have a gel separation between the RBC & Granulocytes and the Platelet-Rich Plasma. The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is what is used for the treatment. 

Key Points: 

• It is safe. 
• Micro-needling skin rejuvenation is improved using Radio-frequency. 
• Multiple studies support minimal risks even on dark skin types. 
• RFM has been used to treat acne scarring successfully as well as skin laxity and hyperhidrosis.
