RF Microneedling at a Glance

Answers to your frequently asked
RF Microneedling questions.

The number of RF microneedling sessions required varies based on individual skin concerns and treatment goals. Typically, a series of 3 to 5 sessions is recommended, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Some patients may see results after a single session, but multiple treatments generally yield more significant and lasting improvements. Consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs.

Pain and Discomfort: RF microneedling can cause mild to moderate pain during the procedure

Skin Irritation: Redness, swelling, and bruising may occur and can last for a few days

Cost: The treatment can be expensive, especially if multiple sessions are required for optimal results

Risk of Infection: While rare, there is a risk of infection if the equipment is not properly sterilized

Post-procedure, patients may experience redness and swelling, akin to a mild sunburn, with potential for minor bruising or pinpoint bleeding. These effects are transient, typically resolving within a few days. The skin may also exhibit a temporary rough texture as part of the healing process. Adhering to post-treatment care instructions is crucial to fostering optimal healing and outcomes.

Before the RF microneedling procedure, the skin should be cleansed and a hydrating serum applied to prepare the skin. Post-treatment, it is important to complement the results with targeted at-home firming skincare formulas. The use of A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced is recommended, as it has been tested by physicians with RF Microneedling and has been shown to provide 3 times better facial lifting in 2 weeks. This anti-aging cream can help to complement and enhance the results of the treatment.
