RF Microneedling

What Is RF Microneedling?

RF (radiofrequency) microneedling is a cutting-edge treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate deep collagen and elastin production. This makes it highly effective for improving fine lines, laxity, acne scars, stretch marks, and overall skin texture. The combination technique makes this treatment more effective than traditional microneedling alone.

Morpheus8 is one of the most popular microneedling RF devices on the market. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, tissues of the face and body can be remodeled to improve skin elasticity and reveal a more radiant youthful appearance.

Benefits of RF Microneedling

• Tightens and firms lax skin, especially jowls and lower face
• Improves acne scars and stretch marks
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Enhances skin tone and texture
• Safe for all skin types with minimal downtime using coated microneedles

How It Works

• Microneedles create controlled microchannels in the skin.
• RF energy is delivered into the dermis, heating tissue to stimulate collagen production.
• The dual action remodels skin from the inside out, leading to long-term improvements.

Treatment Experience

• Procedure takes 30–45 minutes.
• Numbing cream is applied prior to treatment for comfort.
• Redness and swelling typically resolves within a few days to a week.
• A series of 2–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended.

FAQs

Is it safe for darker skin tones?

Yes — unlike some lasers, RF microneedling is safe across all skin types when using coated microneedling (protecting the top layers of the skin).

When will I see results?

Early improvements appear within weeks, with continued remodeling over 3–6 months as new collagen is formed.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

Yes — often paired with fillers, lasers, or PRP for enhanced results.
