What is RF microneedling?

RF, or radiofrequency, microneedling is a minimally invasive skin procedure that improves the signs of aging, fine lines, scars, and wrinkles.

Your specialist glides the device affixed with superfine needles across your skin to create mini wounds. These wounds trigger your body’s healing capacity so that more collagen and growth compounds rush in, improving your skin’s texture and elasticity.

The device also delivers radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers of your skin. The RF boosts your body’s ability to produce collagen and hastens healing. The result is younger-looking, smoother skin.

What types of skin complaints can RF microneedling address?

Microneedling is an effective anti-aging procedure. It stimulates your skin's natural healing process, prompting an increased production of collagen. The effect tightens, smooths, and improves rough texture. Consider RF microneedling to:

Shrink large pores
Reduce the effect of sun damage
Minimize the appearance of scarring
Diminish the look of stretch marks
Ease fine lines and wrinkles

Adding platelet-rich plasma (PRP) enhances these effects. Suburban Laser and Skin creates PRP from a blood sample. Once drawn from your arm, your blood is spun down in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, which contain a tremendous amount of healing compounds.

Your provider applies the PRP to your skin after microneedling, so it can seep into the channels and accelerate healing and collagen production.

What is it like to get RF microneedling treatment?

Your specialist at Suburban Laser and Skin does everything possible to make your microneedling session comfortable and relaxing. You relax in a treatment chair and receive a topical numbing cream prior to the microneedling to ease any sensation.

As your specialist glides the RF microneedling device across your skin, you feel some warmth and tingling. Most patients find the session quite tolerable. It lasts about 20 minutes.

How often should I get RF microneedling treatments?

The team at Suburban Laser and Skin recommends you initially get a series of three to four RF microneedling treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. After your initial healing, which takes just a day or two, you notice a glowing, vibrant complexion. Results continue to improve over the next few months as your skin rejuvenates, heals, and new cells turnover.

You may schedule maintenance treatments after that every six to 12 months. Your specialist sets up the ideal schedule for you.
