Everything You Need to Know About RF Microneedling

Are you looking to transform your skin without going under the knife? RF microneedling could be your answer. The treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, resulting in a brighter, smoother complexion. 

At Lone Star State Dermatology Clinic in Live Oak, Texas, Jean-Denis Boucher, MD, and Amanda Palmer, PA-C, deliver customized RF microneedling treatments tailored to your face and body. Here's how this scientifically-backed treatment works its magic.

What is RF microneedling? 

Imagine a treatment that tricks your skin into healing itself. RF microneedling uses tiny, sterilized needles to create micro-injuries in your skin, prompting it to begin the natural healing process. At the same time, radiofrequency energy penetrates deep into your skin, amplifying collagen production and firming your skin’s texture.

Whether it’s fine lines, acne scars, or stubborn pores, RF microneedling helps your skin look and feel rejuvenated without the downtime of more invasive procedures.

How RF microneedling works

RF microneedling sounds more intimidating than it is. We start by applying a numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Then, our specialized device glides over your skin, creating tiny punctures. The radiofrequency energy works its magic simultaneously, penetrating deep into your skin's layers.

The entire process lasts about 30 to 60 minutes. Most patients are surprised by how quick and manageable it is. You’ll be back to your daily routine in no time.

Benefits of RF microneedling

Think of RF microneedling as a reset button for your skin that:

• Smooths rough textures
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Minimizes acne scars
• Shrinks enlarged pores

The collagen boost creates a radiant, youthful glow without surgery or significant recovery time.

What to expect after treatment

Right after the procedure, your skin might look like it's spent too much time in the sun. The redness typically fades within a few hours. Your body’s natural repair processes kick in immediately, and over the next several weeks, you’ll notice your skin becoming smoother, firmer, and more vibrant.

Who is a good candidate for RF microneedling?

RF microneedling suits many skin types and concerns, from fine lines and uneven texture to lingering acne scars. It’s also safe for most skin tones, unlike some laser treatments that carry risks for individuals with darker complexions. 

Our experts will assess your skin during your consultation to develop a treatment plan that meets your goals.

How to maximize your results

Long-lasting results often depend on your post-treatment skincare routine. Using a gentle cleanser and high-quality moisturizer helps maintain hydration while your skin heals, and sunscreen helps protect your rejuvenated skin from UV damage. 

Additionally, products containing hyaluronic acid or peptides can further enhance collagen production. Our team can recommend post-treatment skin care products tailored to your goals.
