Radio frequency and fractional micro-needling are minimally invasive treatments that reduce the appearance of wrinkles, scarring, acne scarring, sagging skin, and stretch marks.

Adding Radiofrequency energy to the microneedling procedure helps further stimulate the body’s natural collagen and healing processes, revealing firmer, rejuvenated skin.

How Does Radio Frequency Microneedling Work?

Radio frequency energy heats the underlying layers of skin, causing constriction and tightening and stimulating collagen and elastin production. Because the RF energy is delivered deeply, it can produce faster, more dramatic results.

Radio frequency microneedling uses tiny gold-plated needles in a device that gently penetrates the skin. This device delivers radio frequency waves (as heat) deep into the dermal layers of the skin, where the radio frequency heats at depths that provide cumulative and ongoing benefits of collagen stimulation, skin tightening, and resurfacing.

Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) is a minimally invasive treatment used for decades to rejuvenate the skin. A device with fine needles or pins creates tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body to produce new collagen and elastin.
