RADIO FREQUENCY MICRO-NEEDLING FACIAL

What Is Fractional RF Microneedling?

Revolutionary Skin Rejuvenation Through Science

Fractional Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling is a next-generation skin treatment that combines two powerful technologies—microneedling and radiofrequency energy—to deliver outstanding results in skin tightening, lifting, and rejuvenation.

This non-invasive procedure works deep beneath the skin’s surface to smooth wrinkles, improve skin texture, reduce acne scarring, and firm sagging areas—offering a visibly more youthful, contoured appearance without the need for surgery or downtime.

How Does RF Micro-needling Work?

Fractional RF uses ultra-fine microneedles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which penetrate into the dermal and subdermal layers—far deeper than traditional microneedling. These micro-channels allow the precise delivery of radiofrequency energy, heating the tissue below the surface and triggering a natural healing response.

This response stimulates the production of:

Collagen and elastin
New skin cells
Tissue remodeling

The result? Tighter, firmer skin, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and improved overall tone and texture.

What to Expect After Treatment

Although non-surgical, RF Micro-needling is a powerful skin resurfacing treatment and some temporary side effects are expected:

Redness, swelling, and tenderness for 2–4 days
Skin may feel tight post-treatment
Crusting and mild peeling for 3–7 days
Mild bruising in some cases

A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, and while you may feel heat or slight discomfort during the procedure, most clients find it tolerable and well worth the results.

Key Benefits of Fractional RF Microneedling

Boosts Collagen Production
Stimulates collagen where it’s needed most. After age 20, we lose about 1% of collagen each year – RF Micro-needling reverses this process to restore volume, elasticity, and youthfulness.
Smooths Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Effectively softens wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, revealing smoother, brighter, more refreshed skin.
Lifts & Tightens Skin
Delivers results comparable to a mini-facelift—reducing sagging along the jawline, neck, arms, and other problem areas.
Reduces Acne & Scarring
RF Micro-needling can help regulate oil production and minimize active acne, while also reducing the visibility of acne scars and improving overall skin clarity.

Radiofrequency RF Micro-needling
Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Radiofrequency (RF) Micro-needling?

RF Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that rejuvenates the skin by combining tiny, sterile microneedles with radiofrequency energy. This innovative procedure improves skin tone, texture, and firmness by stimulating the body’s natural healing response—making it ideal for those seeking non-surgical skin tightening and resurfacing.

You can expect a smoother, more radiant complexion within a week, with continued improvements over the following months as collagen production is enhanced.

What Can RF Microneedling Treat?

RF Microneedling effectively addresses a variety of skin concerns on both the face and body, including:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Loose or crepey skin (neck, eyes, upper lip, etc.)
Acne scars and other scarring
Enlarged pores
Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
Stretch marks (abdomen, thighs, arms, and more)
Décolleté and under-eye wrinkles

It is also safe for all skin tones and types, including delicate areas.

How Is RF Microneedling Different from Traditional RF Treatments?

Unlike conventional RF treatments that only target the skin’s surface, RF microneedling delivers energy beneath the skin, directly into the deeper layers. This enhances collagen production and significantly boosts skin cell regeneration for longer-lasting, more noticeable results.

Does the Procedure Hurt?

The treatment is generally well tolerated. A topical numbing cream is applied 30–45 minutes prior to the procedure to ensure your comfort. PLEASE ASK FOR IT PRIOR TO YOUR VISIT The needles create only micro-injuries and do not cause permanent skin damage. Most patients describe the sensation as mild heat or light pressure.

Is There Downtime?

Yes, but it’s minimal. Most clients experience redness and mild swelling similar to a sunburn for 24–48 hours. Some may have light peeling or crusting for a few days. It’s important to:

Avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen
Refrain from applying makeup for at least 24 hours
Follow the provided skincare protocol for optimal recovery

How Does RF Microneedling Work?

During the treatment, ultrafine needles create controlled microchannels in the skin’s upper layers, while delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis. This dual-action approach:

Triggers the skin’s natural repair process
Stimulates collagen and elastin production
Encourages new skin cell generation
Reduces pigmentation and resurfaces the skin

What Are the Results?

RF Microneedling stimulates deep collagen remodeling and boosts skin regeneration, delivering:

Smoother, firmer skin
Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
Evened skin tone and texture
Lifted, tightened appearance

The radiofrequency energy works from within to firm and tighten skin while accelerating the healing response. Visible results typically appear within a few weeks and continue to improve over time.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

RF Microneedling is suitable for most healthy adults with concerns about skin aging, texture, scarring, or laxity. It works on all skin tones, including tanned and darker complexions.

However, this treatment may not be appropriate for individuals who:

Have active cold sores or skin infections
Suffer from skin conditions like psoriasis or eczema
Are currently undergoing chemotherapy or radiation
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Take blood-thinning medications
Have a history of keloids or poor wound healing

Are There Any Risks?

Side effects are typically mild and temporary, and may include:

Redness, swelling, or tenderness
Minor pinpoint bleeding or bruising
Itching or peeling as the skin heals
Temporary acne or cold sore flare-ups

You will receive detailed aftercare instructions to support proper healing.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

The number of treatments depends on your skin’s condition and your individual goals. On average, 3 to 4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart are recommended for optimal results.

Maintenance treatments may be suggested every 6–12 months to preserve your results.
