Stubborn dark patches and uneven skin tone can be difficult to treat, especially when topical creams fall short. RF Microneedling offers an advanced approach that works beneath the surface to target pigmentation and support healthier-looking skin. Could this be the solution you’ve been looking for?

At New Age Aesthetics & Wellness in Greenwood Village, CO, you’ll be in the capable hands of Dr. Jonathan Bernardini, a Harvard-trained, triple board-certified physician with over 13 years of experience in advanced, minimally invasive aesthetic procedures. Dr. Bernardini specializes in RF Microneedling for melasma, helping patients achieve smoother, brighter, and more youthful skin.

Understanding Melasma

Melasma is a pigmentation disorder that leads to dark, irregular patches on the face, particularly on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. Hormonal fluctuations, excessive sun exposure, and genetic predisposition often cause it. While melasma is harmless, it can be frustrating and challenging to treat with topical creams alone. RF Microneedling offers an effective approach to breaking down pigment clusters and promoting healthier skin regeneration.

How Does RF Microneedling Work for Melasma?

RF Microneedling delivers tiny, controlled micro-injuries to the skin while applying radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers. This process:

  • Breaks up pigment clusters that cause melasma.
  • Stimulates collagen and elastin to repair and rejuvenate the skin.
  • Reduces skin inflammation, minimizing the likelihood of melasma recurrence.
  • Improves skin texture and tone over a series of treatments.

This combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy provides long-lasting results for patients seeking a non-invasive solution to skin discoloration. 

Why Choose RF Microneedling for Melasma?

RF Microneedling is a minimally invasive and effective treatment for melasma. Unlike topical creams that take months to show minimal improvement, RF Microneedling offers:

  • Faster Results: Noticeable improvement in skin tone and texture within weeks.
  • Long-Term Pigment Reduction: Helps prevent future hyperpigmentation by strengthening the skin barrier.
  • Safe for All Skin Types: Unlike some laser treatments, RF Microneedling is suitable for darker skin tones prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
  • Minimal Downtime: Patients can return to daily activities quickly with only mild redness lasting a day or two.

By choosing RF Microneedling, patients can experience a safe and effective way to treat melasma while improving overall skin health. To maintain long-term results, a customized skincare regimen may be recommended.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

Most patients see significant improvement in 3 to 5 treatment sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. However, results vary based on melasma severity, skin type, and individual healing response. To maintain results, follow-up treatments may be recommended as part of a personalized skincare plan. Regular sun protection and professional-grade skincare products can further enhance the longevity of results.
