Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is an anti-aging treatment that allows us to improve your skin’s tone and complexion during a comfortable visit to our Palo Alto office.
The Benefits
This treatment combines microneedling with the power of radiofrequency energy to deliver enhanced anti-aging effects. It’s more intensive than traditional microneedling, which means you’ll require fewer sessions and enjoy faster and longer-lasting results.
It works by using ultra-fine and sterile needles to gently create microscopic holes in the upper layer of your skin and deliver RF energy through those injuries. This process triggers your body’s healing response, stimulating the production of elastin and collagen and generating new skin cells to replace damaged ones.

RF microneedling and laser treatments are both skin rejuvenation procedures that work by triggering your body’s natural healing response and increasing production of skin cells, elastin, and collagen. However, they accomplish these outcomes in distinct ways.
Laser treatments heat the outer layer of your skin and reach deep below the surface to target aging tissues. Because they penetrate so deeply, lasers can treat wrinkles, fine lines, scars and more. There is a longer recovery period, but the results are also more dramatic and enduring. Conversely, RF microneedling keeps the surface layer of your skin intact. It tends to be tolerated well by most patients and there is not a lengthy recovery period. However, the results tend to be more subtle.
Is there anyone who shouldn’t have radiofrequency microneedling?
In general, this is a safe procedure that’s suitable for most people. However, you can’t have radiofrequency microneedling if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have a history of abnormal scarring.
