RF Microneedling

What is RF microneedling?

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is an innovative cosmetic treatment that combines two proven skin treatments: traditional microneedling and radiofrequency energy. It’s a non-surgical procedure that revitalizes your skin by triggering collagen production, provoking cell turnover, and promoting tissue regeneration.

During your RF microneedling session, Dr. Goyal uses the PiXel8-RF system, a specific device that applies hair-thin needles to create microscopic punctures in your skin. Heat energy travels through the needles, penetrating the surface and targeting your skin’s deepest layers. 

This dual-action treatment is a powerhouse, with two effective procedures working in tandem to smooth, tighten, and rejuvenate your skin. 

What problems can RF microneedling resolve?

The Coastal Dermatology & Medspa team recommends RF microneedling to address a range of skin issues, including:

• Stretch marks
• Acne scars
• Enlarged pores
• Fine lines
• Wrinkles
• Crepey skin
• Saggy skin
• Uneven texture
• Hyperpigmentation

Depending on the area you’re treating, the procedure is quick and only takes about 30 minutes.  You need 3-6 sessions for the best results, and the team advises how far to space each treatment.

Does RF microneedling hurt?

Though needles are involved, they’re ultra-thin. The team applies a numbing cream to your skin before the treatment to ensure comfort. You may feel a little sting or pressure as your provider glides the device over your skin, but it’s quick and generally well-tolerated.

You may be sore or experience some redness for a few hours. Still, the PiXel8-RF design enables your provider to customize heat intensity and needle depth to minimize discomfort and maximize your recovery. 

Who is a candidate for RF microneedling?

While RF microneedling is a beneficial rejuvenation treatment that’s suitable for most skin types, you should avoid it if you:

• Are pregnant
• Have an active skin disease
• Have a history of keloid scarring
• Experience severe acne breakouts
• Use blood thinners

Our team of medical spa experts consults with you to discuss your goals, examine your skin, and learn about your health history to determine if you’re a good candidate for the treatment.
