Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling
Radiofrequency Microneedling is a revolutionary treatment that combines the benefits of traditional microneedling with the powerful technology of radiofrequency energy, delivering visible results with minimal downtime.
Each RF Microneedling session at RPM Health Clinic is customized to meet your unique skin needs and goals. The procedure typically lasts 30–60 minutes, and our team applies a topical numbing agent for maximum comfort.
What is Radiofrequency Microneedling?
Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling is a treatment that goes beyond traditional microneedling by incorporating RF energy. While microneedling itself uses ultra-fine needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin, RF Microneedling takes it a step further. The gold-plated needles gently penetrate the skin to deliver RF energy deep into the dermal layers, promoting skin tightening and stimulating collagen and elastin production.
As the RF energy heats the underlying skin layers, it causes immediate constriction and tightening, while also triggering a natural healing response that results in ongoing collagen and elastin production. Because the RF energy reaches such precise depths, it can produce more dramatic and faster results compared to traditional microneedling alone.
How Does Radiofrequency Microneedling Work?
Our specialized RF Microneedling device creates micro-channels in the skin to deliver RF energy at specific depths within the dermis. The RF energy heats the skin at targeted layers, promoting cumulative and long-lasting benefits, including:
- Enhanced Collagen Stimulation: Increasing collagen improves skin elasticity and strength, leading to firmer, more resilient skin.
- Skin Tightening: The heating effect causes an immediate tightening, lifting the skin and reducing sagging.
- Resurfacing and Texture Improvement: The micro-injuries and RF heat also smooth the skin’s surface, reducing the appearance of scars, fine lines, and other imperfections.
Who Can Benefit from Radiofrequency Microneedling?
RF Microneedling is ideal for patients looking to address:
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Reduces the appearance of lines by promoting collagen and elastin production.
- Acne Scars: Improves skin texture and reduces the visibility of old scars.
- Uneven Skin Texture and Tone: Leaves skin smoother, more even, and glowing.
- Sagging Skin: Lifts and firms the skin, especially around the jawline and neck.
- Stretch Marks: Diminishes the appearance of stretch marks through skin renewal and tightening.

Recommended Pretreatment Measures
-
Practice Sun Protection
Protect your skin by avoiding direct sun exposure and applying a high-SPF sunscreen. Sun protection reduces the risk of sensitivity during and after treatment. -
Discontinue Skin-Sensitizing Treatments
Stop using products with retinoids, hydroxy acids, and any other skin-sensitizing ingredients a few days before your appointment. Tanning and tanning products should also be avoided to minimize irritation. -
Take Antivirals if Prone to Cold Sores
If you have a history of cold sores, we may prescribe an antiviral medication to prevent outbreaks during your skin’s healing phase. -
Boost Skin Healing with Topical Vitamins A and C
Applying topical vitamins A and C in the days leading up to treatment can help prepare your skin for a more efficient healing process. -
Pause Medications Affecting Clotting and Skin Repair
Avoid medications that may disrupt clotting or slow skin repair, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and steroids, after consulting with your healthcare provider. -
Avoid Alcohol and Cigarettes
Steer clear of alcohol and smoking for several days before treatment, as these can slow down the skin’s natural recovery process. -
Arrive with a Clean Treatment Area
Before your appointment, make sure the treatment area is clean and free of cosmetics, creams, and lotions.
Our Commitment to Your Comfort and Results
At RPM Health Clinic, your comfort, safety, and satisfaction are our top priorities.

What Happens During RF Microneedling Treatment?
At RPM Health Clinic, every RF Microneedling session is designed with patient comfort and safety in mind. Here’s a step-by-step overview of what to expect:
-
Preparing the Treatment Area
The clinician begins by thoroughly cleansing the treatment area to ensure the skin is fully prepped. Clean skin creates an optimal foundation for effective treatment and minimizes the risk of irritation. -
Applying Topical Anesthesia
To enhance patient comfort, a topical anesthetic is applied to numb the skin. This numbing agent takes about 20 minutes to take effect, during which time the clinician is available to answer any questions and provide guidance on what to expect during the session. -
Using the RF Microneedling Device
Once the skin is sufficiently numb, the clinician carefully passes the RF Microneedling device over the treatment area. Pinpoint bleeding may occur, which is normal and indicates the device is reaching the intended depth for collagen stimulation. The clinician ensures the entire area is evenly covered for consistent results. Depending on the size of the treatment area, the session can take up to an hour. -
Post-Treatment Care and Protection
After completing the treatment, the clinician cleans the skin and applies a vitamin-enriched moisturizer to support the skin’s healing and regeneration. In some cases, a topical antibiotic may also be applied to prevent any risk of skin infection. -
Aftercare Instructions and Ongoing Support
Before the patient leaves, the clinician and staff provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote a smooth recovery and maximize results. RPM Health Clinic’s team is dedicated to patient support, encouraging patients to reach out with any questions following their session.
What Can You Expect After Your RF Microneedling Procedure?
Following an RF Microneedling session at RPM Health Clinic, patients can expect a gradual yet transformative progression in skin appearance and texture. Here’s a general timeline of what to expect:
-
First Few Days Post-Treatment
The treated area will be somewhat tender, with most patients experiencing mild-to-moderate soreness, redness, and swelling. These effects are normal and tend to subside on their own within a few days. -
End of Week One
By the end of the first week, you may notice flaking or dryness as the skin begins its natural repair process. Some patients also report a mild itchiness as skin renewal continues beneath the surface. -
Two Weeks Post-Treatment
Around the two-week mark, the outer layer of skin has completed its regeneration process. Patients often notice an improvement in hydration, tone, and an overall refreshed look at this stage. Collagen production is still slow initially, but it begins to build momentum, with cumulative effects over the following weeks. -
Three to Four Months Post-Treatment
Collagen production typically peaks by the third or fourth month after treatment. During this period, patients can see substantial changes in skin firmness, texture, and resilience as new collagen strengthens and remodels the skin’s structure. -
Ongoing Enhancement Over Several Months
The skin continues to improve over the months following treatment, with results often lasting up to a year due to the continuous collagen remodeling and strengthening process. Multiple treatments spaced a few weeks apart can help accelerate and amplify these skin improvements, providing a faster path to desired results. Once optimal results are achieved, patients may reduce the frequency of treatments to maintain their skin’s refreshed appearance.
At RPM Health Clinic, we support you throughout this transformative journey, providing expert guidance and care to ensure the best possible outcome for your skin.
How to Care for Your Skin After RF Microneedling
Proper aftercare following RF Microneedling is essential to promote healing and achieve optimal results. Here are the recommended steps to help your skin recover smoothly:
-
Gentle Cleansing and Moisturizing
Use a mild cleanser to wash the treated area and follow up with a hydrating moisturizer, ideally one that contains hyaluronic acid. Perform this routine twice daily to keep the skin nourished and prevent dryness. -
Avoid Cosmetics
Refrain from using makeup or other cosmetics for a few days, or until any redness and inflammation have subsided. Healing skin is especially sensitive, so avoiding cosmetic products during this time helps prevent irritation. -
Sun Protection
Protect your skin from sun exposure by wearing a high-SPF sunscreen and avoiding direct sunlight as much as possible. Sun protection is crucial, as newly treated skin is more susceptible to UV damage. -
Follow Prescribed Antiviral or Antibiotic Treatments
If you are prone to cold sores, continue any prescribed antiviral medication as instructed. If an antibiotic was prescribed, be sure to complete the full course to minimize any risk of infection. -
Reduce Bruising and Swelling
To minimize bruising, consider icing the area, taking bromelain or arnica supplements, and keeping the treatment area elevated while resting. It’s also advisable to avoid strenuous activities for a few days to prevent further irritation. -
Avoid Picking or Scratching
Allow the skin to heal naturally and avoid picking at the area to prevent scarring or delayed healing. Steer clear of potential irritants, including chlorinated pool water and harsh chemicals, during the recovery period. -
Spacing Between Cosmetic Treatments
If you are undergoing multiple cosmetic treatments, ensure there is enough time between procedures to allow your skin to fully recover. Adequate spacing helps maintain the health of your skin and enhances treatment outcomes.
At RPM Health Clinic, we’re here to support you through your recovery. If you have any questions about your aftercare or experience any unexpected reactions, please reach out to our team for guidance.
How Long Is the Downtime After RF Microneedling Treatment?
The downtime is minimal to none after RF microneedling. The inflammatory phase after the treatment is mild and tolerable for most people. However, restricting activities and protecting the area from trauma for a few days help avoid complications that can slow down your recovery.
Potential Side Effects and Risks of RF Microneedling
How Long Does It Take for Radiofrequency to Show Results?
With RF Microneedling at RPM Health Clinic, patients often start to see results as early as the second week after treatment, when the initial healing phase concludes and the skin’s surface has renewed. However, full benefits, particularly the volumizing effect from collagen production, become more evident between the third and fourth months. This period is when collagen levels peak, providing skin-tightening and acne scar improvement that can continue to develop for up to a year, thanks to ongoing collagen remodeling.
How Many RF Microneedling Sessions Do You Need?
The ideal number of RF Microneedling sessions varies based on individual needs, the severity of the skin concern, and how each patient responds to treatment. Here’s a general guideline:
- Mild to Moderate Concerns: Some patients achieve noticeable improvement after only 1-3 sessions.
- More Severe Concerns: Individuals with deeper scarring, more advanced signs of aging, or other significant issues may benefit from additional sessions.
Sessions are typically spaced every 2-4 weeks to allow the skin to recover and rebuild between treatments. After achieving the desired results, maintenance treatments can be scheduled every 6-12 months to preserve and enhance the skin’s rejuvenation.
At RPM Health Clinic, we tailor treatment plans to each patient’s skin needs and goals, helping you achieve the best possible results in a safe and supportive environment.
