What to Expect
1. Consultation
We'll discuss your concerns, assess your skin and determine whether RF microneedling is the right treatment for you.
2. Treatment
Topical numbing is included with your treatment to help keep you comfortable. Treatment time is typically 30–60 minutes depending on the area being treated.
3. Recovery
Redness, warmth and mild swelling are common after treatment. Your skin may feel tight or sensitive for several days. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions following your treatment.
4. Results

Many patients begin with a series of three treatments spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments as recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
RF microneedling is a commonly used aesthetic treatment, but it isn't appropriate for everyone. During your consultation, we'll review your skin, medical history and goals to determine whether the treatment is appropriate for you.
A topical numbing cream is typically applied before treatment. Most patients describe the treatment as manageable, although you may feel heat, pressure or a prickling sensation during the procedure.
Many patients begin with a series of three treatments spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart. Your recommended number of treatments depends on your skin and the concerns being treated.
Most patients experience redness and some swelling immediately after treatment. Your skin may feel warm or tight, and mild redness can continue for several days. We'll provide specific aftercare instructions following your treatment.
