What are RF microneedling and RF skin resurfacing?
RF microneedling and RF skin resurfacing are advanced aesthetic treatments designed to rejuvenate and improve the appearance of your skin. At Leah Thompson Gagnon, DMD, PA in Niceville, FL, these innovative treatments utilize Potenza® technology to help patients achieve smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. RF microneedling combines the benefits of traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy, targeting deeper layers of the skin to promote collagen production and skin tightening. This procedure promotes collagen and elastin creation and improves the tone and tightness of the complexion. RF skin resurfacing, also known as fractional skin resurfacing or a laser peel, focuses on treating the skin's surface and deeper layers to improve texture, tone, and overall skin health.
How does RF microneedling work?
Prior to beginning your RF microneedling session, a topical numbing agent is usually used to help you remain relaxed during the procedure. The strength of the device may be individualized based on the intended outcome. The RF microneedling procedure uses the Potenza handpiece, which utilizes very fine needles to create tiny injuries, interrupting the cells and generating collagen. At the same time, the needles send concentrated radiofrequency waves into the skin to promote skin tightening and a youthful appearance. Through this cutting-edge mechanism, patients generally get long-lasting results that keep building over the next several months.
How does RF skin resurfacing work?
If you are scheduled for a more intense or deeper laser resurfacing treatment, you may be asked to use a retinoid cream for a few weeks before your laser treatment. This helps prepare the skin for maximum results. Medication may be given prior to the treatment to help lessen discomfort so you can relax throughout your appointment. If your complexion needs mild correction, topical anesthesia may be applied to numb certain areas where the laser will target. A type of sedation may be necessary for the full complexion or deeper laser treatments. Throughout the procedure, you will relax in our special treatment chair while the Potenza laser handpiece glides over your skin, precisely targeting the specific sections for resurfacing. You will feel heat from the laser and cold air from the built-in cooling system. The laser energy is designed to eliminate damaged skin cells while stimulating natural collagen production.

Did great as usual teeth feel clean
Absolutely fantastic Botox/Filler experience. Following a full, thorough consultation, the injection procedure was seamless. The results are perfect!!
In the last 3 months I have had all of my teeth cleaned, 2 fillings replaced and (my first crown) 1 crown completed. Dr. Gagnon's dental expertise was excellent and the service from ALL of her staff was outstanding. My teethe look better than they have in years. Additionally, within the last week my husband had a cleaning and 1 filling done, also a great experience! We are both very pleased.
She makes me super comfortable although I have anxiety about going to the dentist.
I hadn't been in for a cleaning in a long time, due to personal circumstances, and I was welcomed here without judgement. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and I learned more about how to take better care of my teeth! Highly recommend them for any dental needs :)
