What is RF Microneedling?

RF Microneedling combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and support skin tightening. The treatment works by creating controlled micro-channels in the skin while delivering heat energy deeper into the tissue for enhanced rejuvenation.

What concerns can RF Microneedling treat?

RF Microneedling may be used to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, loose skin, and certain types of scarring.

How many RF Microneedling treatments will I need?

For best results, a series of treatments is typically recommended. Most patients benefit from 3–4 treatments, while more significant concerns such as deeper scarring or stretch marks may require additional sessions.

Is there any downtime after RF Microneedling?

Most patients experience mild redness and swelling for 24–48 hours following treatment. Many clients are able to resume their normal skincare routine and wear makeup approximately 24 hours after treatment.

When will I see results from RF Microneedling?

Results develop gradually as collagen production increases and the skin remodels. Many patients begin noticing improvement within several weeks, with optimal results often visible 3–6 months after treatment.

RF Microneedling

RF microneedling combines two technologies to support skin renewal: microneedling and radiofrequency energy. Fine needles create micro-channels in the skin, which signals the body to produce collagen, elastin, and new capillaries. At the same time, radiofrequency energy is delivered through the needles into the skin, adding controlled thermal stimulation to further support collagen remodeling. As the skin heals, it can look smoother, firmer, and more refined over time.

At Rise Medical Aesthetics, RF microneedling treatments are planned based on what you’re noticing and what you’d like to improve, with a series recommended for best results.

What RF Microneedling Can Help With

RF MICRONEEDLING MAY BE USED TO IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE OF:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Stretch marks
Enlarged pores
Acne scars
Scars from injury or surgery
Hyperpigmentation and uneven tone
Loose, sagging skin
Cellulite
Hyperhidrosis (excess sweating) in select cases

How RF Microneedling Works

RF microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin to trigger a healing response and collagen production. Radiofrequency energy is then delivered into those channels, creating additional controlled stimulation that can enhance collagen remodeling and skin tightening. Over time, this process supports smoother texture and improved firmness.

What To Expect During Treatment

PREPARATION

Our Medical Aestheticians cleanse the area and apply a topical anesthetic about 1 hour before the procedure to keep you comfortable.

TREATMENT TIME

The procedure itself typically takes 10–20 minutes, depending on the area treated.

COMFORT

RF microneedling can feel more intense than standard microneedling because the needles go deeper. Numbing helps significantly.

POST-TREATMENT CARE

After treatment, topical serums are applied to support healing and skin repair.

What To Expect After Treatment

IMMEDIATE EFFECTS

Mild swelling and redness are common for 24–48 hours.

RETURN TO ROUTINE

Most clients can resume normal skincare and makeup application about 24 hours after RF microneedling.

Treatment Plan + Results Timeline

Results build gradually as collagen remodels.

WHEN RESULTS PEAK

Optimal results are often seen 3–6 months after treatment, depending on the concern being treated.

RECOMMENDED SERIES

In most cases, at least 4 sessions are recommended.

TYPICAL SPACING

Treatments are commonly scheduled every 3–8 weeks to allow healing between sessions.

EXAMPLES

Moderate acne scarring often responds well to 3–4 treatments, while larger scars and stretch marks may require 5–6 treatments.

Longevity + Maintenance

After completing a series, results often last about 1 year. Many clients choose a touch-up session once per year to help maintain their results.
