From first call to your treatment plan
RF microneedling is a medical procedure, so it starts with an assessment of your skin and health history.
We call you back
A member of our team calls to answer your first questions and schedule your consultation.
Consultation and skin assessment
We review your health history, skin type and concerns, then design a plan with the needle depth and energy your skin needs.
Treatment and recovery
Controlled energy is delivered into the skin during each session. You leave with clinical aftercare instructions to support healing.
What RF microneedling can address
Treatment areas and expected benefits vary. At your consultation we assess your skin and set realistic expectations for your concerns.
Fine lines and wrinkles
Encourages natural collagen and elastin production to soften the look of fine lines and mild laxity.
Texture and pores
Refines rough texture and the appearance of enlarged pores.
Acne scars
Depth control helps improve the appearance of depressed facial acne scars.
Firmness, neck and jawline
Controlled heat supports tissue tightening, including crepey skin on the neck and along the jawline.
Stretch marks and body areas
Can be used on areas like the abdomen or knees to improve skin quality and the look of stretch marks.
Syringomas
Precision thermal energy can target these small, benign sweat-duct bumps.
Results that build from within.
Small needles enter the skin at carefully selected depths and deliver radiofrequency energy, creating controlled heat in the targeted tissue. Your body responds by producing new collagen and elastin.
- Customized. Depth and settings are chosen for your treatment area, skin and goals.
- Gradual. Initial changes may show in the weeks after treatment; the biggest improvements usually develop over three to six months.
- Planned as a series. Most plans involve 3–4 treatments spaced several weeks apart.
Results aren’t instant, because they rely on your body’s own healing. We’ll tell you what to realistically expect for your skin.
You may be a good candidate if…
Your goals
- You want to address fine lines, mild skin laxity or textural irregularities
- You’re looking for a medical procedure tailored to your specific skin concerns
Your expectations
- You have realistic expectations for gradual results
- You’ve been cleared for treatment after a medical consultation
What recovery really looks like
RF microneedling involves intentional, controlled injury to the skin, so a medical assessment is required to make sure it’s safe for your health history. Ask us anything about risks and outcomes.
Recovery
Most patients have redness, swelling and a mild-sunburn feeling for 24–48 hours. Small, temporary micro-crusts may form as the skin heals. You’ll get specific aftercare instructions.
Common effects
- Temporary redness and swelling
- Sunburn-like warmth or sensitivity
- Minor bruising or pinpoint bleeding
- Flaking or dry skin while healing
Potential complications
- Infection or pigment changes
- Scarring or texture changes
- Allergic reactions to topicals
- Cold sore outbreaks (if you have a history)
A clinical procedure, not a med spa visit.
RF microneedling here is performed in a professional medical office by our nurse practitioners. We prioritize safety and long-term skin health, with the medical expertise and personal care you’d expect from a trusted family practice.
