What Is RF Microneedling for Skin Tightening?

RF microneedling is an advanced aesthetic therapy that combines radiofrequency energy with the controlled micro-injuries of microneedling to rejuvenate and firm the skin. The procedure creates microscopic channels on the skin’s surface while also delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the tissue, triggering your body’s natural healing response. This process ignites a surge in collagen and elastin production, which are proteins essential for skin structure and elasticity. As new collagen generates and strengthens, the skin becomes smoother, tighter and more resilient.

Our RF Microneedling Treatment Options

Matrix™ RF Microneedling System

Matrix uses bipolar radiofrequency energy delivered through insulated microneedles to heat the dermis while protecting the skin’s surface. The bipolar configuration creates a focused heating pattern between two electrodes on the needle tips, making it particularly effective for treating localized concerns like enlarged pores or individual acne scars.

Matrix Pro® is the RF microneedling modality within this system. Treatment parameters can be adjusted based on your concerns: needle depth ranges from shallow for fine lines to deeper for significant texture issues. At the same time, energy levels vary from gentle maintenance sessions to intensive treatments for dramatic results.

The system’s flexibility allows us to customize treatments to your skin type and tolerance level. Clinical studies show Matrix can significantly increase collagen production, with results that continue improving for three to six months as new collagen forms and matures.

Exion® RF Microneedling

Exion uses monopolar radiofrequency energy guided by artificial intelligence to penetrate deeper than traditional systems. The monopolar configuration allows energy to flow from a single electrode through tissue to a grounding pad, creating diffuse heating that reaches depths up to 8mm. This extended penetration addresses moderate to severe laxity that other devices cannot effectively treat.

The AI technology continuously monitors your skin’s temperature during treatment, adjusting energy delivery in real time to maintain optimal therapeutic levels. This intelligent feedback loop maximizes collagen stimulation while preventing overheating.

Unlike traditional RF microneedling, which requires multiple passes, Exion achieves results in a single pass due to its AI-powered precision. This approach means shorter treatment times and potentially less discomfort. The system can safely treat delicate areas like under the eyes and neck, where traditional devices struggle.

What Are the Benefits of Radiofrequency Microneedling?

Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles

One of the main benefits of radiofrequency microneedling is reducing fine lines and moderate wrinkles, including nasolabial folds (“smile lines”) and marionette lines. By boosting collagen synthesis deep within the skin, these treatments help smooth out existing lines while preventing new ones from forming.

Improves Skin Elasticity

Our skin loses its natural elasticity over time, leading to sagging and loose skin. RF microneedling treatments restore this elasticity by promoting the growth of new elastin and collagen fibers, resulting in firmer, more resilient skin that maintains its youthful bounce.

Enhances Skin Texture

Uneven skin texture, including acne scars and enlarged pores, can be effectively addressed with RF microneedling. Our treatments help refine and smooth the skin’s surface, creating a more even and polished appearance.

Minimizes Pore Size

Large pores can contribute to an aged appearance and other skin concerns. RF microneedling treatments help minimize pore size by tightening the surrounding skin tissue, giving your complexion a smoother, more refined look.

Boosts Natural Collagen Production

Clinical studies demonstrate that advanced RF microneedling can increase collagen production by 50 percent or more. This natural collagen boost helps improve skin structure and maintain firmness over time.

Nonsurgical With Minimal Downtime

Unlike surgical procedures, RF microneedling treatments are minimally invasive and require little to no downtime. You can return to your daily activities shortly after treatment, making it convenient for busy lifestyles.

Long-Lasting Results

The benefits of RF microneedling skin tightening are long lasting, providing sustained improvement in skin tightness and texture. With proper skincare, sun protection and maintenance sessions, results can last for months to years.

RF Microneedling Treatment & Recovery Processes

Preparation

Before your skin tightening treatment begins, we’ll cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing cream to maximize your comfort during the procedure. While RF microneedling is well-tolerated, the numbing cream helps minimize any potential discomfort from the microneedles.

Treatment

Once the numbing cream has taken effect, your Choosi provider will gently apply the RF microneedling device to your skin. The fine needles create precise micro-channels while radiofrequency energy is delivered to the deeper layers of your skin. You may feel a slight warming sensation and mild pressure, but most patients report that the treatment is very tolerable.

Treatment duration varies based on the area being addressed and which system we’re using. Treatments typically take 30 to 60 minutes, with Exion’s single-pass technology often requiring less time than traditional multi-pass systems.

Recovery and Aftercare

While minimal downtime is associated with RF microneedling, following proper aftercare instructions promotes the best results and fastest healing. Right after the procedure, your skin may appear red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. This is entirely normal and indicates that the treatment is working. You may also experience some tightness or sensitivity in the treated area, which typically subsides within 24 to 48 hours.

In the days following your RF microneedling session, it’s crucial to:

  • Avoid direct UV (sun) exposure and wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher
  • Refrain from using harsh skincare products, including retinoids and acids, for at least one week
  • Keep your skin well-hydrated with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer
  • Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sweating for 24 to 48 hours

Results

Most RF microneedling patients begin to see noticeable improvements within three to five days as the initial redness fades and skin begins to feel smoother. Optimal results develop progressively over the following weeks and months as new collagen forms and matures.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does RF Microneedling Cost?

The cost of radiofrequency microneedling at Choosi Skin Face and Laser Spa varies based on several factors, including the treatment area size, the number of sessions needed, which technology we use (Matrix or Exion) and your specific skin tightening goals. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed cost estimate based on your personalized treatment plan.

Who Are Good Candidates for RF Microneedling?

RF microneedling is suitable for many individuals seeking skin tightening and rejuvenation. Ideal candidates include those who:

  • Are in good general health
  • Have mild to moderate skin laxity or texture concerns
  • Would like to address fine lines, wrinkles or acne scarring
  • Seek nonsurgical skin tightening options
  • Have realistic expectations about results
  • Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Don’t have active skin infections in the treatment area

Both our Matrix and Exion systems can be customized for various skin types and concerns. The best way to determine your candidacy is through a personalized consultation at Choosi Skin Face and Laser Spa.

Is RF Microneedling Safe for All Skin Types?

RF microneedling is widely regarded as safe for most skin types and tones, including darker complexions that may be at higher risk for complications from laser treatments. Unlike some light-based therapies, RF energy bypasses the melanin in the epidermis, significantly reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

The radiofrequency energy delivered through insulated needles targets the dermis, where collagen production occurs, which prevents overheating the outer skin layer. This makes RF microneedling an excellent option for individuals with Fitzpatrick skin types IV-VI who may have concerns about pigmentation changes from other treatments.

However, certain conditions require careful consideration. Patients with active acne, rosacea flares or keloid-prone skin should discuss these concerns during consultation to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

How Many RF Microneedling Treatments Will I Need?

The ideal number of treatments varies based on your individual goals, skin condition and which technology we use. For optimal results with RF microneedling, we typically recommend a series of three to five treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart. Some patients see significant improvement after just one or two sessions, while others may benefit from additional treatments for more dramatic results.

Is RF Microneedling Painful?

Most patients find RF microneedling very tolerable, especially with a topical numbing cream before treatment. The sensation is often described as a warming feeling with mild pressure or tingling. Exion’s AI-controlled delivery and single-pass technology usually result in even greater comfort compared to traditional multi-pass RF microneedling systems.

How Soon Will I See Results?

You may notice some immediate skin tightening and a healthy glow right after your treatment. However, the most significant results appear gradually as your body produces new collagen. Initial improvements typically become visible within two to three weeks, with continued enhancement over the following three to six months as collagen remodeling progresses.

How Long Do RF Microneedling Results Last?

RF microneedling results can last up to a year or more based on your individual skin characteristics and maintenance. Factors such as age, lifestyle, sun exposure and skincare routine all influence the longevity of results. Many patients have periodic maintenance treatments once or twice yearly to sustain their improvements.

Can RF Microneedling Be Combined With Other Treatments?

Yes, RF microneedling pairs beautifully with other aesthetic treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. While they may not be performed during the same session as your RF microneedling, these treatments can be alternated or performed after your treatment series for optimal results. Popular combinations include:
