What is the PiXel8-RF?

The PiXel8-RF is a new device that incorporates bi-polar, radiofrequency (RF) technology to gently improve collagen, tighten skin, and give your skin a smoother, more youthful appearance. Treatments with the PiXel8-RF can also gently, non-surgically remodel and contour areas of the face and neck. During the treatment, heat is driven deep within the skin layers to stimulate and remodel collagen and cause elastin cells to regenerate. This results in a firmer, smoother, and more consistent skin surface.

What does the PiXel8-RF treat?

The PiXel8-RF was developed to combat the signs of aging. It most commonly treats the “crepey” skin of the face and neck but can be used over the entire body for skin smoothing and tightening. The PiXel8-RF is suited for all skin types, and after a single treatment, most patients notice that the area treated is smoother and softer. The amount of energy delivered into the tissue is adjustable and the micro-needles can be adjusted from .5mm up to 3.5mm to address each individual patient’s needs. The PiXel8-RF uses a unique design for tissue coagulation and hemostasis that may improve fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and stretch marks.

Overall, the PiXel8-RF can address many problem areas:

• Skin tightening
• Wrinkle reduction
• Acne scar improvement
• Skin tone and texture improvement
• Pore reduction
• Scar reduction
• Double chin reduction
• Jowl lifting
• Eyebrow lifting
• Neck lifting
• Hand rejuvenation

Can the PiXel8-RF be used on all skin types?

One of the best advantages to the PiXel8-RF, compared to some laser treatments, is that it is safe to use on all skin types. The radiofrequency energy does not cause thermal damage to the top layer of skin (epidermis) and virtually eliminates the risk of causing pigment changes in the skin (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).

What is the downtime for a PiXel8-RF treatment?

Treatments have very minimal to no downtime. The treated area may be red for 1-2 days. Some mild swelling may occur. Ointment or moisturizers may be applied to the area after treatments. Most people can go back to their normal activities the following day and can apply makeup 24 hours after treatment.

How long does it take to perform a Pixel8-RF treatment?

Treatments require numbing cream to be applied to the area for 30-45 minutes. The treatment itself can last 20-40 minutes, depending on how many areas of the body are being treated.

What is involved with a Pixel8-RF treatment?

Typically, numbing cream is applied to the area for 30-45 minutes. Then the device is used on the skin. Tiny microneedles calibrated to a precise depth are “stamped” onto the skin. This is done over the entire area while chilled air is simultaneously used on the skin to improve comfort.

How painful is a Pixel8-RF treatment?

With the protocol stated above, treatments are very well tolerated with only mild discomfort reported by most patients.

How many treatments do I need?

While improvement of the skin can be seen after a single treatment, we highly recommend starting with 3 treatments (each treatment spaced 4 weeks apart) to get an excellent result. Those who wish to continue treatments may safely choose to do more than 3 treatments to continue to improve their skin.

Are there devices similar to the Pixel8-RF that I may have heard of?

Yes, radiofrequency technology with microneedling has become a very popular part of aesthetics. Many companies produce devices that also use the radiofrequency with microneedling for skin tightening. Some other devices include: Morpheus8, Secret RF, Fractora, INFINI, and Vivace.

The best way to know if PiXel8 RF microneedling is right for you is to sit down with your Bare Medispa specialist for a personal consultation. Together. You will discuss your concerns, your desired results, the details of the procedure and post-procedure expectations, financial options, and any concerns or questions you may have.

Changes in your skin as you get older are one of the most visible signs of the aging process. Like other body systems, cell production and turnover slows down as you get older. These changes make your skin thin, dry, and less resilient, resulting in lines, wrinkles, and sagging.

Slow down the effects aging has on your look without surgery or downtime.

The PEP Exosomes formula for your skin contains a mix of peptides (short strings of amino acids) and nutrients.  It works by stimulating the formation of fibroblasts, which are the cells that support the formation of collagen. Collagen is the structural protein responsible for your skin’s youthful strength, glow, and resilience.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that our bodies produce to keep the tissues in our skin hydrated. It’s key to helping us maintain youthful, radiant skin, but factors such as aging, smoking, pollution, and prolonged sun exposure can often deplete our stores of this essential anti-aging substance.

Hyaluronic acid can be used as an ingredient in microneedling to add moisture and lubrication back into your skin. Microneedling with hyaluronic acid can fill and plump areas with sagging skin, and repair minor skin irregularities that may be contributing to an older-looking appearance. This treatment can also reduce scarring and soften fine lines and wrinkles.
