Microneedling
RF Microneedling
Microneedles plus radiofrequency energy. Collagen rebuilt at the depth where it matters.
- Combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy delivered directly into the dermis — stimulating deep collagen remodelling and skin tightening.
- May help improve acne scars, skin laxity, pore size, wrinkles, and overall texture.
- Administered only by board-certified nurse practitioners using an FDA-cleared device.

WHERE CAN RF MICRONEEDLING HELP?
Why skin loses firmness — and how RF microneedling addresses the structural layer.
Collagen and elastin fibres in the dermis provide structure, firmness, and resilience. As these fibres break down from aging, sun exposure, and scarring, skin loosens, wrinkles deepen, and texture becomes irregular. RF microneedling delivers heat energy directly into the dermis — triggering deep collagen remodelling at the layer where structural change actually occurs.
Full face & neck
The most common treatment zone. Addresses skin laxity, wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne scarring, and overall textural irregularity across the full face and neck.
Lower face & neck
For patients whose primary concerns are in the jawline, jowl area, and neck. Targeted treatment of the lower third and neck only.
Neck only
Crepey texture and horizontal lines on the neck. Treated as a standalone zone where face concerns are not the primary focus.
Submental
The area beneath the chin — often combined with Kybella for patients addressing both submental fat and skin laxity in the same treatment plan.
WHICH APPROACH IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Three ways to treat. One principle — rebuild from within
RF Microneedling is the foundation. How far we take it depends on your skin, your goals, and what your provider recommends at consultation.
RADIOFREQUENCY MICRONEEDLING
Collagen rebuilt at the depth that matters.
Precision microneedles deliver radiofrequency energy directly into the dermis — triggering deep collagen remodelling at the structural layer where laxity, scarring, and textural irregularity actually form.

Best For
- Skin laxity and loss of firmness
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores and rough texture
- Acne scarring (mild to moderate)
RF MICRONEEDLING + PLATELET-RICH FIBRIN
Radiofrequency energy. Your own biology. Working together.
PRF is drawn from your own blood and applied immediately after RF Microneedling. The micro-channels created by the needles allow PRF to penetrate directly into the dermis — where growth factors stimulate collagen production and accelerate healing beyond what RF energy alone achieves.

Best For
- Patients wanting to maximise collagen stimulation
- Acne scarring with post-inflammatory pigmentation
- Skin quality improvement alongside structural tightening
- Those wanting a fully natural, additive-free enhancement
RF MICRONEEDLING + SCULPTRA
Surface correction and structural rebuilding — at the same time.
Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) is applied during RF Microneedling, reaching the deep dermis through the micro-channels. While RF energy triggers immediate collagen remodelling, Sculptra stimulates ongoing collagen production over 3–6 months — addressing both the surface and the structural deficit below it.

Your Treatment Journey
What to expect at every stage.
- Avoid NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen) for 2 weeks.
- Stop topical exfoliants, retinol, and AHA/BHA 3–5 days before.
- Avoid sun exposure. If you tan easily, your provider may recommend Brightening Pads for 2 weeks prior.
- Arrive with no jewelry, a low-cut top, and bare skin (SPF is okay).
- Numbing cream applied for 30–45 minutes.
- Precision microneedles penetrate the skin while delivering RF energy to the deeper dermal layers.
- Treatment takes approximately 60 minutes.
- Slight to moderate swelling and sunburn-like redness for 1–3 days. Skin may crust and feel tight for 2–7 days.
- No makeup for 48 hours. No hot showers, saunas, or sweat-inducing activity for 48 hours.
- Physical SPF only — no active ingredients for 5–7 days until skin has fully healed. Avoid exfoliation, picking at texture, or over-moisturising.

How it works
How RF microneedling compares to standard microneedling.
Both treatments stimulate collagen. RF microneedling goes deeper — delivering radiofrequency energy through the needles into the dermis, where it causes collagen fibre contraction and triggers deep structural remodelling that standard microneedling alone cannot achieve.

Questions & Answers
What patients ask before they book.
How is RF microneedling different from SkinPen?
SkinPen creates mechanical micro-injuries. RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy for deeper collagen stimulation and tightening. Your provider recommends the right option based on your skin concerns.
Does it hurt?
A numbing cream is applied before treatment. Most patients describe the RF sensation as brief warmth during the procedure.
How many sessions do I need?
Most patients benefit from 3–6 sessions. Your provider assesses your skin and builds a plan at consultation.
What areas can be treated?
Face, neck, submental body. Treatment areas and pricing vary — discussed at consultation.
