RF-Needling (Body)
What is RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling utilizes ultrafine needles, along with LED lights emitting radiofrequency waves, to produce thermal energy. The process involves irritating the skin and stimulating its repair response, while encouraging the body's ability to naturally produce collagen.
Typically, the treatment involves a device with an array of insulated fine needles designed to puncture the top layer of skin, about up to 3 millimeters deep. High-intensity radiofrequency energy is applied in a fractional pattern through microneedles to trigger collagen and elastin production.

Radiofrequency microneedling is a cosmetic procedure. It uses tiny needles and radiofrequency waves to rejuvenate facial skin.
The treatment is a form of controlled skin injury. The damage stimulates the growth of healthy new skin, which can benefit common skin issues like acne scars and wrinkles.
Compared with treatments like chemical peels and dermabrasion, radiofrequency microneedling is minimally invasive. Read on to learn about the procedure, side effects, and benefits.
The skin that grows back is thicker and smoother. This can target:
fine lines wrinkles
stretch marks
appearance of large pores ache scars
scars from injury or surgery hyperpigmentation loose, sagging skin cellulite hyperhidrosis
You can also get radiofrequency microneedling with platelet-rich plasma
(PRP), platelet-rich-fibrin(PRF) and exosomes.
In this procedure, your provider draws blood from your arm and uses a machine to separate the platelets.
After a radio-frequency microneedling session, we inject or apply the platelets to the treated area. This may maximize the results of your treatment.
Who's an ideal candidate for radiofrequency microneedling?
Radiofrequency microneedling is considered safe, but it isn't appropriate for everyone.
You may be an ideal candidate if you:
are in good health have early signs of aging have realistic expectations
Alternatively, you should avoid the treatment if you:
currently or recently used Accutane have an active cold sore breakout have a skin infection
have a moderate to severe skin disease (like psoriasis)
are receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy
are pregnant are taking anticoagulants
have a history of keloids, hypertrophic scarring, or poor wound healing
