RF Microneedling
Non-insulated, gold-plated RF microneedle technology with Smooth Motion insertion for optimal comfort and results.
What Is RF Microneedling?
Radiofrequency with microneedling stimulates the skin's ability to produce collagen. You get the benefit of both modalities — microneedling combined with the energy of radiofrequency.
RF microneedling works by creating a very small amount of damage to make the body think it has been wounded. This stimulates the body's natural wound-healing response. The result is new collagen and elastin. (Translation: lifting and tightening!)
Aging, along with other factors — mainly sun damage — breaks down our body's ability to produce collagen and elastin and slows production. Procedures like RF microneedling slow down and even reverse this process, helping skin look and act younger.
Problems RF Microneedling Helps
- Uneven skin texture & large pores
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin laxity
- Acne scars & stretch marks
The most common areas treated are the face, neck & décolletage — though it can be used on almost any area of the body.
Pros
- Two collagen-stimulating treatments in one session
- All skin types & colors treated with low risk when administered properly
- Minimal downtime with results comparable to laser resurfacing
- Can be performed on almost any body area
- Tightens, smooths, fades scars, and diminishes stretch marks
Cons
- Requires 3–5 treatments, four weeks apart
- Can take up to six months to see your final outcome
- Even with numbing cream, some sensation can be uncomfortable
- Risk of hyperpigmentation for darker skin tones
Separate Focused RF Handpieces
My machine has several separate handpieces delivering focused radiofrequency without needles, enabling treatments to be very specific to your skin concerns. For example, the neck and parts of the lower face can be pre-treated with the RF handpieces, followed by the RF microneedling treatment.
The RF technology delivers energy deep into the dermis with minimal surface heat — which means minimal discomfort.
What Can I Expect During Treatment?
Treatment normally takes 60 to 90 minutes. The skin is numbed for 30 to 45 minutes, cleansed, and disinfected. During the treatment you may feel a warm, prickling sensation. Afterward, a calming mask and serum are applied and you'll receive at-home care instructions. Pinpoint bleeding and mild swelling are common directly afterward and resolve within a few days.
When Will I See Results?
Skin begins looking brighter and smoother about two weeks after treatment, with improvement continuing after each session. Full results take about six months. Results last one to two years depending on your body's response — overall health, nutrition, previous sun damage, genetics, and home skincare all play a part.
Think of it like working out — we don't exercise once every 6 months and expect muscles to form! It takes dedication and consistency. Your skin is no different.
