What Is Radiofrequency Microneedling?
Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling combines two powerful technologies to stimulate collagen production in the skin. During treatment, a specialized device creates microscopic channels in the skin while simultaneously emitting RF energy into the dermis. These controlled microinjuries are designed to trigger the body’s natural healing process, promoting cellular renewal and enhancing the skin’s quality.

Am I a Candidate for RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling may be ideal for those who want to minimize:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne and acne scars
- Uneven skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- Mild skin laxity
- Stretch marks
This minimally invasive procedure is suitable for many skin types and tones. With this in mind, individuals who are pregnant, have active skin infections or lesions, are on blood thinners, or have a history of poor wound healing may not be good candidates.
Complementary Procedures to RF Microneedling
For a comprehensive medical spa experience, RF microneedling can often be combined with other non-surgical treatments. Depending on your skin care needs and preferences, our team can incorporate chemical peels, dermaplaning, or other options into your care. A personalized consultation at Pluvia Medical Spa can help determine which procedures are right for you.
What Does the RF Microneedling Treatment Involve?
Your RF microneedling session will begin with a thorough cleansing of the treatment area to reduce any risk of irritation. A topical numbing cream or local anesthetic will be applied to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Next, the RF microneedling device will be moved evenly along the problem areas of the skin. As the microneedles are inserted, RF energy is released through their tips.
In general, RF microneedling requires little to no downtime. Some patients report slight swelling and redness after the treatment, but applying a cold compress can ease these symptoms. To support healing, it’s best to avoid direct sunlight for at least a week and refrain from applying makeup or other skin care products for the first 24 hours after the procedure.
What Are the Typical Results of RF Microneedling?
Because RF microneedling aims to stimulate your body’s natural healing process, results usually develop gradually rather than immediately. Most patients begin to notice visible improvements in skin tone, texture, and firmness within three to six months after treatment, as collagen and elastin production increases over time.
Furthermore, RF microneedling results typically last for about one year. To achieve optimal effects, most patients undergo a series of approximately four sessions spaced three to eight weeks apart.
How Much Does RF Microneedling Cost?
The cost of RF microneedling can vary depending on:
- The size and number of treatment areas
- The total number of sessions recommended
- Whether additional treatments or skin care products are included
During your consultation, we’ll provide a customized treatment plan and detailed pricing information to help you make an informed decision. Do not hesitate to contact our friendly team with any financial questions.
