Frequently Asked Questions

RF Microneedling combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy. Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin while delivering RF energy to the deeper layers. This dual action stimulates collagen and elastin production more effectively than either treatment alone, resulting in tighter, smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

RF Microneedling effectively treats fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and other scarring, enlarged pores, skin laxity, uneven skin texture, stretch marks, and overall skin dullness. It can be used on the face, neck, chest, and body. During your consultation, we will create a customized treatment plan for your specific concerns.

Most patients find RF Microneedling comfortable thanks to topical numbing cream applied before treatment. You may feel warmth, mild pressure, and a prickling sensation during the procedure. Pain tolerance varies, but most describe the discomfort as very manageable. We can adjust settings for your comfort.

Most patients achieve optimal results with 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The number of treatments depends on your specific concerns and goals. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months can help sustain results. We will recommend a customized treatment plan during your consultation.

Downtime is minimal. Expect redness similar to a mild sunburn for 1-3 days. Most patients return to work and normal activities within 24-48 hours. Avoid sun exposure, strenuous exercise, and active skincare for several days post-treatment. Makeup can typically be applied after 24 hours.

RF Microneedling offers several advantages: it is safe for all skin types (including darker skin tones), has shorter downtime than ablative lasers, and treats both surface and deeper skin layers simultaneously. While lasers work well for surface concerns, RF Microneedling excels at skin tightening and collagen stimulation deeper in the skin.
