Radiofrequency microneedling is an advanced cosmetic procedure that combines two effective technologies: microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy. This treatment is primarily used for skin rejuvenation and addressing various skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and skin laxity. The process begins with the microneedling device creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin while the added radiofrequency waves deliver heat to deeper layers, encouraging collagen and elastin production. This combination signals a natural healing process to rebuild firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
When you arrive for your appointment, your Elizabeth MD aesthetician will guide you through a consultation and skin assessment, learning about your skin type and any specific concerns to create a customized treatment plan.
During the procedure, a device equipped with tiny, fine needles is used to create microscopic punctures or channels on the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin's natural healing response. Simultaneously, the device delivers controlled RF energy into the deeper layers of the skin through the micro-needles. This RF energy generates heat, which promotes collagen and elastin production, leading to skin tightening and improved texture over time.
RF Microneedling is versatile and effective, making it a top choice for treating several skin conditions, including:
RF Microneedling is effective on multiple areas of the body, allowing for comprehensive skin rejuvenation:
The combination of microneedling and RF energy allows for a more comprehensive and effective treatment compared to either method used alone. It can target both the superficial and deep layers of the skin, resulting in enhanced skin tone, reduced wrinkles, and overall skin rejuvenation.
Radiofrequency microneedling is considered a safe and minimally invasive procedure and can be used to treat areas of the face, neck, and body.

The number of sessions required can vary depending on your specific skin concerns and individual goals. Our experienced aestheticians will develop a treatment plan around your needs and preferences.
As your skin begins the process of rebuilding fresh skin cells, you may experience mild redness and slight swelling, similar to a sunburn. These side effects typically subside within 1-3 days. Your aesthetician will advise you on ensuring optimal healing by following a gentle skincare routine, avoiding harsh products, and protecting the treated skin from direct sun exposure. As collagen production builds over the weeks following treatment, your skin reveals a refreshed, firm, and smooth appearance.
Patients often see initial improvements in skin texture and tone within a few weeks of treatment. However, the true beauty of RF Microneedling is that results continue to develop as collagen and elastin production increases, with full effects visible after completing a series of treatments. By smoothing your skin’s texture, reducing acne scars, and restoring elasticity, RF Microneedling rejuvenates from within. Scheduling periodic maintenance treatments every 6-12 months can help sustain these youthful, glowing results.
