Many people go to laser dermatologists and they will be recommend to do gold radiofrequency microneedle treatment. So what is the specific treatment method? Simply put, it is similar to acupuncture technology, a medical beauty technology, no obvious injury, and fast recovery. This technology can enter your skin 3 mm or even deeper. It sounds a bit painful, but those who have done it will feel that the effect is good. As the saying goes, “Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease.”
The name of this technology is phase-controlled gold microneedle. Phase-controlled-microneedle-radio frequency (also called 3DEEP, hereinafter referred to as 3DEEP), what is the combination of these three unrelated and seemingly unrelated things? Today I will explain it to you:
1. Identity of 3DEEP
3DEEP is a member of the radio frequency family. Radio frequency is one of the earliest families in the medical beauty industry. For example, Thermage, which was the first to enter the world, has a history of 16 years since it obtained the token to walk the world in 2002. With the development of technology, the radio frequency family has differentiated into different schools: monopolar, bipolar, multipolar and fractional. All schools are actively cultivating habits and improving skills, but there are many talented people in the world, and many of them are short-lived and forgotten by people who love beauty. 3DEEP is a new branch derived from the fractional radio frequency school. It integrates and absorbs the advantages of microneedle fractional radio frequency, and innovates it. It uses phase control technology to obtain more powerful martial arts, and the efficacy is greatly increased.
2. Microneedle Fractional Radio Frequency
Radio frequency will generate heat when applied to human tissues. The distribution of heat in the tissues can be seen to be inversely proportional to the fourth power of the depth (the distance between the target tissue and the radio frequency source). In other words, as the tissues get deeper, the heat will decay rapidly. In order to ensure that there is still enough intensity at deeper levels, radiofrequency microneedle families are trying to find a solution. However, the simplest and crudest way is to directly insert the radio frequency electrode into the skin, skipping the epidermis and attenuation, and directly emitting radio frequency energy in the skin or even subcutaneous tissue to stimulate the tissue.
Microneedle radiofrequency was initially designed to protect the epidermis, so the needle body was made insulated, and only the needle tip emitted energy. The advantage of this is that recovery is fast, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to ooze blood during treatment, and the clinical effect is slightly poor due to the small range of action. Later, people realized that the resistance of the epidermis is greater than that of the dermis, so even if the microneedle body used is not insulated, the epidermal damage is relatively light, the range of action is large, and it is not easy to bleed, so the effect is improved, and it is the best of both worlds.
At the same time, the distribution of microneedle radio frequency is in a dot matrix arrangement, so that there is normal tissue between the two needles (electrodes), which will lead to faster recovery and less likely to cause side effects such as pigmentation and scars.
After understanding 3DEEP, you will find that the depth of 3DEEP is guaranteed, because the needle is deep enough! Its needle body can be up to 3.5mm. The length of the needle body alone is not enough. The needle for sewing clothes is several centimeters long. Would it be better to pierce the flesh? More importantly, it can also emit phased radio frequency!
3. Phased RF
Phase control technology is a very physical term. You can use a subwoofer as an example. By properly placing different speakers (sound sources), you can get the best sound effect in a certain area. 3DEEP uses an array of multiple RF transmitters and a complex electronic calculation method to control the energy flow between multiple electrodes. Adjacent electromagnetic fields generate repulsive forces, which drive the energy vertically and have a deeper effect. As shown in the video.
At this point, you should understand that 3DEEP microneedle radiofrequency can penetrate 3mm into the skin, but the effect is more than 3mm – the effect is deep enough
At the same time, the micro-needle dot pattern is adopt, the stimulation range is controllable, which is conducive to recovery – the operation is safe enough
4. What does 3DEEP look like?
After talking about 3DEEP for so long, what does it look like? Is it tall and slender? In fact, the 3DEEP machine itself is equipp with a variety of hand tools, and microneedling is one of its many functions. The specific English name of microneedling is intensif. Don’t be scare by so many needles. These needles are thin and sharp and can quickly penetrate the skin. It is tolerable under the condition of external lidocaine cream anesthesia.
​The principle of its emission: computer-controlled progressive smooth needle insertion, rather than manual insertion or spring mechanical insertion. The microneedle penetration depth is 0-3.5mm, adjustable by 0.1mm, so that the skin thickness at different parts of the root can be personalize. At the same time, the pulse width and power are adjustable, so that specific treatment plans can be design according to the different tissue thickness and personal tolerance.
5. What are the specific functions of gold microneedles? What problems can they improve?
Facial sagging (such as reducing nasolabial folds, crow’s feet, eye bags…), neck sagging, enlarged pores, stretch marks, acne scars, facial capillary dilation
6. Questions about phase-controlled gold microneedles
1. Is the treatment painful?
There is pain, but you can hold back your tears by applying anesthetic. In short, remember one thing: don’t blame the doctor for being cruel, the pain is the deepest care for you.
2. Will it form a scab?
Since the needles all emit radio frequency, they have a hemostatic effect and do not bleed like other radiofrequency microneedle, so there is no obvious scab.
3. Will there be redness or swelling?
There will be redness and swelling within 3-7 days after treatment (not exaggerated), many people have punctate bruises on the lower eyelids (the eyelids are thin and rich in blood vessels), and some people still have very slight swelling within 2 weeks (this is related to the depth and power of the radiofrequency microneedle). Using better postoperative care and repair technology can shorten the recovery period.
4. Will there be a pigmentation period?
Generally, the skin will not darken, but patients with severe melasma may experience a transient darkening in the short term.
5. Can one treatment be effective?
One treatment will be effective, and the duration of the effect is related to the age/degree of tissue aging. Of course, if you can do it 2-3 times in a row, the effect will be better and the duration will gradually increase. The recommended treatment interval is about once every 3 months.
6. How long does it take to reduce?
Generally, the effect can be see after the swelling subsides.
7. What is the appropriate age to do it?
If you have skin aging, you can get treatment. So even if you are 27 or 28 years old, but your skin starts to sag, you should start early while the tissues are still hydrate. If you are 60 or 70 years old, as long as you have a desire for beauty, you can get treatment and it will be effective.
8. What are the contraindications?
Facial metal implants, electronic medical device implants, and pregnancy are absolute contraindications. Tumors, other organ diseases, oral chemotherapy, hormones, and anti-immune drugs should be use with caution.
9. Can I have sex during menstruation?
It is not a surgical procedure, and menstruation is not a contraindication to treatment. It does not increase the degree of bleeding. After all, the radiofrequency microneedle are very fine and will stop bleeding after wiping.
10. How to take care of yourself after surgery?
Regarding avoiding water (at least 9 hours), growth factors and other biologically active drugs can be use as appropriate to promote recovery, and attention should be pay attention to sun protection within 1 month after surgery.
