What Is Radiofrequency Microneedling and How Does It Work?
RF microneedling delivers radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin through fine needles, creating controlled coagulation zones that prompt your body to produce new collagen and elastin. In the weeks that follow, this can improve the appearance of skin laxity, firmness, and texture, for a smoother, firmer, lifted look. Because the radiofrequency energy seals micro-vessels as the needles pass, treatment is associated with minimal bleeding and short downtime. Results build gradually over a recommended series; individual outcomes vary.
RF microneedling is perfect for those seeking an alternative to surgically invasive procedures that can cost $35,000 out of pocket every 10 years to maintain or injectables that last for a much shorter timeframe 3 months – 1.5 years), with results you just cannot obtain with a regular microneedling pen alone. You can expect to notice early improvements within a few weeks. Results can last up to 3 years after a full treatment plan is completed. A single yearly maintenance session can help to maintain good results, alongside ongoing regular professional grade skincare.

FAQs
How soon will I be able to see results from RF Microneedling treatments?
You may see improvements within a few weeks, with results gradually appearing in just two to three months as your body produces more collagen and elastin.
How long do RF microneedling results last?
Results will last up to 3 years with occasional maintenance once a year. Touch-up treatments are recommended to maintain the effects.
Most patients find the procedure comfortable. Numbing cream is applied to thinner skinned areas such as the face and neck beforehand to ensure minimal discomfort during the treatment. Thicker skinned areas such as the inner/outer thighs, under arms and scalp don’t usually need numbing.
Can RF Microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes! RF microneedling pairs beautifully with many of our other treatments to enhance and maintain results. We can guide you on the best combinations for your skin goals.
How many sessions of RF microneedling will I need?
A minimum of three sessions are required (*additional sessions recommended based on decade of life), with noticeable improvements often after the first. Treatments are typically scheduled every 4 – 8 weeks.
Is there downtime after RF microneedling?
This procedure involves minimal downtime. While redness and mild swelling is expected, the use of our EXO|E Plant-Derived Exosomes helps support a quick and seamless return to daily activities in as little as one hour, making this possible to be a lunchtime procedure!
