Microneedling is a skincare treatment that uses needles to create micro-injuries on the skin. This technique stimulates the body’s natural healing response, which increases the production of collagen and elastin. In radiofrequency microneedling, an additional element is added that helps reduce signs of aging, soothe irritation and improve the appearance of the skin.

Microneedling combined with radiofrequency energy is a procedure that can offer the patient more benefits. This type of microneedling delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis, which improves tightness and lessens scars.

RF microneedling is used to reduce or treat:

  • Increases the production of collagen and elastin
  • Reduces the appearance of scars
  • Tightens skin appearance
  • Reduces the appearance of wrinkles & fine lines
  • Allows for better product absorption due to a thin, non-greasy layer
  • Reduces acne and acne scars
  • Helps with enlarged pores
  • Evens out skin tone, texture, and hydration
  • Fat reduction

Pre-Treatment Info

What to do/not to do before

  • Avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs like aspirin, Motrin, Advil, ibuprofen, or any other product that isn't Tylenol or acetaminophen) for two weeks before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.
  • Hydrate: Your hydration status is crucial for an effective treatment. Aim to drink 2 liters of water per day at minimum 2 days prior to treatment.
  • Take antiviral medication beginning one day before and continuing for the duration of your treatment if you have a history of cold sores.
  • Stop all topical acid-based treatments (such as glycolic, alpha, or beta hydroxy acids), retinol, Retin-A, or other similar products one week before your treatment, and for one week after your treatment.
  • Avoid sun exposure before your treatment. Use SPF daily. If you arrive to your appointment tanned, you may be required to reschedule.
  • Please arrive to your appointment with a clean, makeup free face (SPF is okay!).

Because RF microneedling stimulates your own body to build collagen, the effects are long-lasting, or “semi permanent.” Your results wont go away over night, but the treatment wont stop aging, and you can still gain weight in the treatment areas.
No! We love microneedling with rf due to its effective, natural results. The treatment will rejuvenate the tone, texture, and complexion of the skin.
RF Microneedling treatments are not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

RF Microneedling FAQs

RF Microneedling is a minimally invasive fractional system that dispenses micro-needles deep in the dermis to produce dramatic skin tightening and rejuvenation. This RF microneedling combines the latest advancement in RF technologies and Micro-Needling with little downtime and pain regardless of skin type.
Microneedling with Radio Frequency (RF) energy provides precise and controlled coagulation deep in the dermis, encouraging collagen production, resulting in dramatic skin tightening and rejuvenation. We can customize the microneedle's depth or each individual's treatment area. Depending on how sensitive the desired spot is, you may want to adjust the depth accordingly.
Unlike other treatments using lasers, the RF-Microneedling only uses radiofrequency energy. Microneedles precisely deliver the RF energy into the layers of skin, minimizing thermal damage to the epidermis. This procedure helps to reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin types. Therefore, it is safe for all skin colors and textures to use this treatment.
One of the most significant benefits of RF microneedling is the minimal downtime and limited restrictions following treatment. The treated area will be red for up to 24 hours.
Patients may experience redness and swelling after treatment, which usually subsides within 24-hours or less.
The procedure should take approximately 20-25 minutes, but preparations may take up to 30-minutes. Expected results will manifest after only one treatment; however, three treatments at four weeks in between provide the most beneficial effects.
