How Exactly Does PiXel8-RF Operate?
If you’re contemplating getting PiXel8-RF, then you should make sure that you understand how the technology works. This treatment utilizes bipolar energy, putting heat far down into the layers of the epidermis. The aim behind this is to boost and revamp collagen and bring on the regeneration of the vital elastin cells. All of this can pave the way for a complexion that’s a lot softer and more resilient. If you want the surface of your skin to be a lot smoother and firmer, then getting this treatment may be just right for you.
PiXel8-RF causes hemostasis and coagulation, which activates the manufacturing of collagen, to help make the skin firmer. Doctors can tweak the depth of the microneedles for all specific treatment parts. This can come in particularly handy for patients who need treatment below their eyes, on their cheeks, and their foreheads.
