Spring is on its way, which means we’ll be showing a lot more skin in a matter of weeks. With shorter hemlines, sleeveless silhouettes, deep-V necklines, and bright sunlight on the horizon, you might be looking into ways to make your skin look younger and firmer, even in the harshest lighting. Exercise, a healthy diet, and advanced skincare are all a fantastic start, but sometimes skin needs additional treatments to look revived, refreshed, and its best. For that, you’ll want to head to your dermatologist for the most advanced treatments for improving the way your skin looks and feels.
Skin that shows the signs of aging quickly—like your face, neck, and chest—or skin with deep scaring or acne scaring can benefit greatly from laser treatments, or treatments that use radio frequency skin firming or microneedling. Older versions of laser treatments took a while to work effectively and had the potential to be quite painful, so patients would be concerned about not just the pain, but how many sessions they would have to endure to see results. Newer treatments, like Endymed, are changing all that.
When it comes to rejuvenating skin, Endymed Intensif is the most advanced radio frequency technology on the market for refreshing the skin on areas of your face, neck, chest, and body. This minimally invasive procedure combines microneedling and focused radio frequency to improve the texture of your skin. The procedure works by emitting heat into the dermis, which triggers the skin’s natural healing process. The result is skin that looks visibly revitalized and renewed, with improved elasticity.
Endymed Intensif’s non-insulated gold needles work in harmony with Endymed’s Fractional Pulse Mode technology to produce more heat safely inside the dermis for better results. The unique delivery of the energy into the dermis minimizes risk to the surrounding tissue and skin surface. The adjustable high precision needle depth allows for customized treatment strength depending on the area being treated. A shorter needle depth is used for thinner skin, while thicker skin can be treated with a deeper delivery. This treatment is ideal for patients who are looking for improvement of acne and acne scaring, stretchmarks, deep wrinkles, and more, though Endymed Intensif 3DEEP technology also successfully minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
If you find yourself heading for the door at the mention of needles, fret not. You will be pleased to know that numbing cream is used on your face first, and Endymed Intensif only requires relatively short treatments, with fewer passes over the skin per treatment because of the efficient Endymed 3DEEP technology. Treatments typically only take between 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the skin area and concern you’re treating. The shorter time and smaller number of passes over the skin ensures better comfort for you and faster recovery times for results you’ll see sooner.
You might also be surprised to learn that while the procedure does involve miniscule needles, there is no bruising and no bleeding after the treatment, though you may need three to five days of downtime after the procedure. Patients report some redness immediately following the treatment, followed by slight puffiness as the healing begins. After that, you may experience some roughness or flakiness on day three or four as your skin continues to heal itself and reveal the results of the treatment.
After the treatment, you will immediately see visible improvement, even as your skin recovers from the procedure. After your skin is completely healed in three to seven days, you’ll see a noticeable difference in the way your skin looks and feels. You’ll also see considerable improvement for some time after your treatment is complete. A treatment that continues to provide results even after it’s over? That’s a benefit we can all get on board with.
Depending on the results you’re looking for, most patients need between three and six treatments spaced out between one to six weeks apart to achieve optimal results. For particularly deep acne scars, an additional one to two treatments may be necessary. However, since you’ll continue to see improvement over time, you may find that you don’t need that final treatment after all! Make sure you see an experienced, Board-certified dermatologist for accurate treatment recommendations.
Endymed’s 3DEEP technology makes improving your skin’s elasticity easier, safer, and more effective than it has ever been before. If you’re looking for quick improvement of your skin’s texture and firmness with minimal discomfort, Endymed Intensif is likely an excellent choice for you. Don’t waste time feeling like you have to cover up anymore. Allow a trusted dermatologist and Endymed Intensif to refresh your skin and your confidence for skin you feel good about showing off. Spring is the time for renewal! Call your dermatologist and find out if Endymed is right for you.
