What is Radiofrequency Microneedling?
Radiofrequency microneedling uses a specialized device with tiny needles as well as radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Who is a Good Candidate for Radiofrequency Microneedling?
Radiofrequency microneedling is considered safe and effective for many people, but there are some who are better candidates than others for the treatment.
You may be a good candidate for this skin treatment if you:
- are in good health.

The Radiofrequency Microneedling Procedure
The radiofrequency microneedling procedure is relatively simple. Dr. Andrews will start the procedure by cleaning the skin and then applying a topical numbing agent to the treatment area to ensure you’re completely comfortable. From there, the microneedling device will make micro-wounds in the skin. Simultaneously, the radiofrequency energy will penetrate and warm the skin and make its way into the micro-wounds.
The needles and the radiofrequency energy are able to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, causing deep stimulation of both collagen and elastin.
The whole procedure shouldn’t take more than an hour. We typically recommend 2-4 treatment sessions with one-month intervals in between to achieve optimal results.
Aftercare
After radiofrequency microneedling, you may have some pinpoint bleeding, redness, swelling, and bruising, but those will diminish within the first 24 hours. You will be able to return to your normal routine within a day.
To ensure proper healing and the best results, you will want to apply ice packs to the treatment area, use sunscreen regularly, use a gentle cleanser, and avoid wearing makeup for the first 24 hours.
You will see results 3-6 months after your final treatment as new collagen and elastic growth continues and your body’s natural wound-healing properties take effect.
