1. Is DermaMax RF safe?

DermaMax RF is completely safe for any sin type, including type VI, with minimal risk of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Its innovative RF microneedling technique has been designed to penetrate the different layers of the skin with minimal to no pain and without causing damage or bleeding.

2. What treatments does DermaMax RF offer?

DermaMax RF offers a wide range of skin treatments such as: rejuvenation, skin tightening, spider vein and enlarged pore reduction, revision of scars and stretch marks, and also improves skin texture and tone.

3. What parts of the body can be treated?

Its specialized applicator uses three types of tips especially designed to accommodate to the different body areas. Its small 10 needle tip effectively treats smaller areas such as the eyes, and its 25 needle tip treats medium size areas such as neck and face. Its large tip is designed for broader areas such as the back, legs, arms and abdomen.

4. How does the DermaMax RF tightening and rejuvenation treatment work?

DermaMax RF’s microneedles penetrate from 0.5 mm to 3.5 mm into the skin and apply fractional high intensity radiofrequency at different depths to distribute the heat evenly in a uniform and controlled manner. The needles create microscopic thermal wounds that stimulate the skin’s repair mechanisms to activate the regeneration process. The heat generated by the radiofrequency works at a cellular level to stimulate natural collagen production, tightening the skin and improving elasticity, smoothening fine lines and wrinkles, and creating a lifting effect without the surgeries.

5. What does a DermaMax RF treatment consist of? 

The specialist will first meet with you to perform a skin assessment and establish a treatment plan. They will also take before and after pictures to prove its efficacy. The session will begin by applying an anesthetic cream on the treatment area to minimize the risk of pain during the procedure. Once the specialist has selected the treatment settings to ensure patient comfort, they will position the applicator on the treatment area.  The microneedles will gently penetrate the skin to deliver fractional high intensity RF energy causing minimal to no pain. The heat generated in the deeper tissues will stimulate the production of new collagen fibers, activating the skin regeneration process to repair, tighten and rejuvenate it. After the procedure is completed, a cool mask with soothing, autoinflammatory and antioxidant properties is applied, followed by a moisturizing lotion and a sunscreen of at least 50 SPF. You will be able to return to your daily routine without the need for recovery time.

6. How often should treatments be performed? 

The frequency depends on the treatment area and the condition that is being treated. For facial and neck rejuvenation, 2 to 4 treatments (once a month) are required. For scar and stretch mark reduction, 4 sessions (once a month) are needed to achieve the desired results.

7. What does the aftercare consist of? 

You will be able to resume your daily activities immediately after the treatment. To maintain the results, we always recommend applying a sunscreen lotion of minimum 50 SPF and avoiding sun exposure to protect it from the UV rays, as well as the use of saunas several days after the procedure. It is important to drink plenty of water, keep the skin hydrated, avoid abrasive products and refrain from waxing the treated area for at least 30 days after the treatment.

8. What results can I expect? 

By the end of the treatment series the skin’s appearance and texture significantly improve as it recovers its youthful firmness, smoothness, and elasticity. Fine lines and wrinkles fade, enlarged pores become smaller, the skin tone evens out, and scars and stretch marks become lighter, resulting in a new beautiful skin that feels and looks softer, brighter and healthier.

9. What are the contraindications? 

Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, as well as people with pacemakers or other implanted electric devices, metal implants in the treated are (except for dental implants), open wounds and skin infections in the treatment area, history of skin cancer or pre-malignant lesions, history of infection by the herpes virus in the treated area, thyroid disease, skin related autoimmune diseases, degenerative neurological diseases/lesions Other contraindications include epilepsy, varicose veins, recent surgical procedures, uncontrolled chronic degenerative diseases (hypertension, diabetes, etc.), recent abrasive treatments, rosacea (for facial treatments), recent filler injections, absorbable thread and/or botulinum toxin close to the treatment area, suntan, recent sun exposure, recent use of isotretinoin (Roaccutan, Accutane, Neotrex, Trevissage) and use of anticoagulants such as Aspirin. It is also important to avoid performing the treatment on the thyroid gland area. 

10. How is the new DermaMax RF better than other systems? 

While other microneedling devices can tear the skin and cause pain, the DermaMax RF’s ultrafine 0.2 gold needles penetrate deep into the skin to treat from within without damaging the tissues, without bleeding and with minimal risk of pain or discomfort. This advanced technology, unlike other similar products, distributes the heat in a uniform patter offering consistent and visible results in a any skin type.
