This nearly painless treatment can significantly improve wrinkles, scars, and skin laxity.
RF microneedling stimulates collagen fiber growth to enhance skin quality and texture.
Clients generally achieve optimal results with two to four treatments.
Results may not be as dramatic as surgical procedures – but downtime is far less.

Radio frequency (RF) microneedling devices use special needles to administer high-intensity radio frequency energy into targeted tissue beneath the skin. This procedure induces a uniform warming effect on deep tissue, stimulating new collagen fiber growth and significantly enhancing skin quality and texture. The outcome is minimal to no downtime and a nearly painless treatment that can dramatically improve wrinkles, scars, and skin laxity.
RF microneedling is a minimally invasive method for improving skin quality and texture. It stimulates collagen and elastin growth, leading to enhanced skin firmness and reduced appearance of wrinkles and scars. The procedure has minimal downtime and is nearly painless, making it an attractive option for those seeking skin rejuvenation without surgery.
The RF microneedling procedure involves topical numbing and typically lasts about an hour. Before the procedure, patients are advised to avoid alcohol, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, and salicylic acid products to minimize bruising. During the treatment, specially insulated or non-insulated needles deliver RF energy into the deep tissue, creating a warming effect that stimulates collagen growth. Clients generally achieve optimal results with two to four treatments.
Safe for all skin types if the device uses insulated needles. Non-insulated needles are contraindicated in skin types IV-VI due to the risk of pigmentation.
Erbium treatments can effectively treat wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, and stretch marks.
