RF Microneedling
What is RF Microneedling?
RF Microneedling is an advanced skin rejuvenation procedure that combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture, tone, and firmness. This minimally invasive treatment targets fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin.
How It Works
Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin while delivering radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers. This dual action promotes natural healing and collagen remodeling, resulting in smoother, tighter, and more youthful skin.
What to Expect
During treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the treatment area. You may experience mild redness and swelling, similar to a sunburn, which usually subsides within a few days.
Pre-Treatment Guidelines
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks prior
- Discontinue retinoids and exfoliating products 3-5 days before treatment
- Inform your provider of any skin conditions or medications
Post-Treatment Care
- Keep skin hydrated and avoid direct sun exposure
- Use gentle cleansers and avoid makeup for 24 hours
- Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily
- Avoid strenuous exercise or heat exposure for 48 hours
Results and Frequency
Visible improvements typically appear within 1-2 weeks, with continued enhancement over 3-6 months as collagen builds. For optimal results, 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended.
Who is a Good Candidate?
RF Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and those looking to improve skin texture, firmness, and scars without significant downtime. Candidates should be in good overall health and free from active infections or severe skin conditions in the treatment area.
