At Springs Aesthetics, we’re dedicated to helping you look and feel your best, because glowing skin is always in style. If you have been exploring ways to tighten, smooth, and rejuvenate your skin, you might have heard of two innovative technologies making waves in the aesthetics world: Pixel 8 microneedling- radio frequency skin tightening. We know you have questions, and we are here to answer them, all while making the science of beauty easy to understand. Keep reading to find out how these advanced treatments could transform your skin with Dr. John R. Burroughs at Springs Aesthetics in beautiful Colorado Springs, Colorado!
Our providers describe Pixel 8 as a radio frequency skin tightening, non-invasive treatment that uses energy waves to heat the deeper layers of your skin. This heat stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are the building blocks of firmer, more youthful skin. Over time, your skin becomes tighter, smoother, and more toned.
Pixel 8 microneedling is a device that combines traditional microneedling with radio frequency technology. Tiny needles create micro-injuries in your skin while delivering targeted radiofrequency heat below the surface. This powerful duo enhances collagen production and skin renewal even more effectively than either treatment used alone.
This procedure is not nearly as scary as it sounds! Before your appointment, a numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort throughout the session. Most of our patients describe the sensation as mild tingling or warmth. Laughing gas (Pro-Nox) is available, upon request, to further improve any discomfort. With Dr. John R. Burroughs’ expertise and care, you will be in the best hands to ensure a comfortable experience.
These treatments are incredibly versatile! They are effective at reducing fine lines and wrinkles, minimizing acne scars, firming up sagging skin, improving skin texture, and even reducing pore size. Whether you are looking to address signs of aging or improve specific skin concerns, these treatments deliver glowing, long-lasting results.
The results vary depending on your skin type and goals, but most of our patients benefit from a series of 3 – 6 treatments spaced about four weeks apart. You will likely notice some immediate improvement after the first session, with full results developing over several months as your skin produces more collagen.
One of the best things about these treatments is that the downtime is minimal. Following your treatment, you may experience slight redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically fades away within 1 – 2 days. You will be free to return to your routine quickly, but do not forget the sunscreen as it is essential for protecting your freshly-treated skin!
