RF Microneedling FAQs
What can I expect after an RF microneedling skin-tightening treatment?
The results of the RF microneedling treatment won’t be immediately apparent. The procedure creates tiny wounds below the skin’s surface, triggering the gradual healing process that produces new collagen and elastin, the key components of smoother, tighter skin. Mild redness is the most common side effect, along with the sensation of a minor sunburn. Most patients can return to work and other normal activities a day or two after the procedure. Results will begin to become apparent in the following weeks as the deep layers of the skin heal and the surface tightens.
How many treatments will I need?
Each patient’s needs vary, but usually optimal results can be achieved after 2 to 3 treatment sessions.
If I have a tan or darker skin, is it safe to get an RF microneedling treatment?
Yes. Unlike an RF laser treatment, the RF microneedling devices bypass the external layer of skin. That significantly reduces the chances of hyperpigmentation, a complication associated with other skin resurfacing techniques.
Can I combine RF microneedling with other non-surgical cosmetic treatments?
Absolutely. You can discuss the options when you visit our med spa. For example, many patients choose injectable fillers such as JUVÉDERM®, Radiesse®, or Sculptra® Aesthetic to replace the volume lost through the normal aging process or enhance the lips. BOTOX® Cosmetic injections also complement the results of RF microneedling skin tightening treatments.
