Microneedling is a beauty treatment that uses a fine needle to create micro-wounds, or channels, in the skin. These mini injuries trigger the production of capillaries, elastin, and collagen. It’s also called skin needling or collagen induction therapy.

If the procedure also uses radiofrequency waves, it’s called radiofrequency microneedling. The needle releases radiofrequency into the channels, causing additional damage to amplify collagen production and enhance the effects of standard microneedling.

The skin tissue that grows back after a RF Microneedling treatment is thicker and smoother. The procedure helps eliminate:

• fine lines

• wrinkles

• stretch marks

• the appearance of large pores

• acne scars

• scars from injury or surgery

• hyperpigmentation

• loose, sagging skin

• cellulite

• hyperhidrosis

Most patients find RF microneedling very tolerable. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort. You may feel pressure and warmth during the procedure, but pain is typically minimal. Treatments are generally well tolerated, and any post-treatment sensitivity usually subsides within a day or two.

Most patients benefit from a series of RF microneedling treatments for optimal results. Typically, three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart are recommended. The exact number of treatments depends on your skin concerns, goals, and how your skin responds. Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.

Some patients notice improvements in skin texture and tightness within a few weeks, but full results develop gradually. Collagen and elastin production continue for several months after treatment. The most noticeable improvements are typically seen about three months after completing your treatment series, with results that continue to improve over time.

Let's break down how this treatment works! An RF Microneedling session starts with a thorough skin assessment and the application of a numbing cream to ensure comfort. The treatment involves using a device that delivers tiny needles and radiofrequency energy into the skin. This process stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture. The procedure typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, and you may experience mild redness and swelling that generally subsides within a few days.

RF Microneedling is great for anyone who wants to reduce acne scars, improve skin texture, and address fine lines and wrinkles. It is perfect for individuals seeking a non-invasive solution with minimal downtime. During your consultation at Lush RX Med Spa, our specialists will evaluate your skin concerns and determine if RF Microneedling is the best treatment for your needs.

Before your RF microneedling appointment, avoid excessive sun exposure, active skincare products, and exfoliants for several days. Arrive with clean skin and no active infections or irritation. Your provider will review your skincare routine and medical history to ensure your skin is properly prepared for safe and effective treatment.

Yes, RF microneedling can be safely combined with other aesthetic treatments for enhanced results. Many patients pair it with injectables like Botox® and dermal fillers, chemical peels, or Hydrafacials to address multiple concerns at once. At Lush RX Med Spa, combination treatments are carefully planned to support healing and maximize skin rejuvenation.
