Let’s take a moment to explore the old saying, “You’re as young as you feel.”
Since opening Novel U Wellness in Long Beach just two short years ago, I’ve welcomed
numerous patients to my practice who tell me they’ve come to my office in pursuit of the
best, most appropriate, and innovative treatments that will give them not only a
rejuvenated appearance but also an enhanced sense of well-being.

It’s not unusual during an initial intake session to hear these patients say, “When I look
In the mirror, I see a person who looks years older than the way I feel about myself. I’m
hoping you can help me appear more youthful, like the person I feel I am on the inside. I
don’t want to do anything drastic – I just want to look like me at my best.”
For these patients, I often recommend our Agnes RF microneedling treatment, which is
a premiere treatment that offers a non-surgical solution that tightens skin, reduces fat,
and improves overall skin texture.

Agnes RF microneedling is a cutting-edge aesthetic procedure that combines the
traditional benefits of microneedling with the power of radiofrequency (RF) energy. This
synergistic approach targets the deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen
production and resulting in a firmer, smoother, and more youthful complexion.
The procedure is minimally invasive, involving the use of ultra-fine needles that create
microchannels in the skin. These channels serve as conduits for RF energy, which
heats the tissue and stimulates the body’s natural healing process. Because of this,
Agnes RF microneedling offers a versatile non-surgical solution that can help sculpt and
contour the face, neck, chin, and other small body areas. The result is a significant
boost in collagen and elastin production, key components in maintaining skin’s elasticity
and youthful appearance.

Scientific studies have demonstrated the efficacy of Agnes RF microneedling in treating
various skin conditions, including wrinkles, scars, and signs of aging. Microneedling
offers a viable, minimally invasive treatment option for my patients, who have been
extremely pleased with their results. (Personally, I love the effectiveness of
microneedling devices in improving the appearance of wrinkles on the neck, an area
that often betrays one’s age.)

And take a moment to consider this: research has shown a compelling link between
one’s appearance and their mental health. A study by the University of Oklahoma found
that individuals who perceive themselves as looking younger than their peers reported
more positive experiences related to age, such as being asked for advice and having a
strong sense of purpose. Conversely, those who felt older experienced more negative
interactions.

This research from the University of Oklahoma underscores the psychological impact of
physical appearance on one’s quality of life by revealing self-care and body positive
treatments offer more than just cosmetic benefits.
Agnes RF microneedling offers not only tangible results but also empowers us to take
control of the aging process, potentially leading to a more positive and confident outlook
on life. The treatment’s ability to reduce fat, tighten skin, and improve the appearance of
fine lines aligns with the desire to maintain a youthful appearance, which, as research
suggests, is intrinsically linked to a better quality of life.
