RF Microneedling Procedure: What to Expect Q&A

RF microneedling is generally safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones. The treatment combines microneedling, which creates tiny controlled punctures in the skin, with radiofrequency energy that penetrates deeper layers of the skin. This combination stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity. RF microneedling is effective for addressing a variety of concerns, such as fine lines, acne scars, uneven skin texture, and skin laxity across different skin types.

Before undergoing the procedure, it’s important to consult with a trained skincare professional to ensure it is appropriate for your specific skin needs. A thorough assessment of your skin type and condition allows for a customized treatment plan, ensuring that the procedure will be both safe and effective. With proper guidance, RF microneedling can deliver significant results while minimizing the risk of side effects, helping you achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

At True Bliss Medical, we provide comprehensive post-procedure care instructions to ensure the best results from your RF microneedling treatment. This includes recommendations for sun protection and proper skin products to support healing and maintain the benefits of the procedure. Our goal is to help you achieve radiant, healthy skin with treatments that are carefully tailored to your unique needs.

At True Bliss Medical, your comfort and confidence are our top priorities. When you come in for an RF Microneedling procedure, your journey begins with a thorough skin cleansing by our experienced team, ensuring your skin is prepped for optimal results.

During the RF microneedling procedure, you can expect a relatively comfortable experience with minimal downtime. First, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort throughout the process. Once the numbing has taken effect, a microneedling device with fine needles is used to create micro-injuries in the skin. As the device works, radiofrequency energy is delivered into the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and enhancing the treatment’s effectiveness.

The procedure typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. You may feel a slight warming or tingling sensation during the treatment, but it is generally well-tolerated. After the procedure, your skin may appear slightly red or swollen, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually subsides within a few hours to a day. Following the procedure, your provider will give you post-treatment care instructions to promote optimal healing and results.

We understand that every individual’s skin is unique. The number of RF microneedling sessions needed varies depending on your skin type, the concerns being addressed, and your desired results. Generally, most clients require between 3 to 6 sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. These treatments work gradually to stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity over time.

For maintenance, many clients opt for occasional touch-up sessions every 6 to 12 months to sustain the benefits of RF microneedling. Your provider will tailor a treatment plan based on your individual skin goals and progress, ensuring you achieve the best possible outcome for your skin.

At True Bliss Medical, Dr. Alexander Rios, MD, will conduct a thorough skin assessment and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored just for you. We focus on delivering expert care and guidance to help you achieve your skin goals with RF microneedling, ensuring a safe and effective treatment experience.

At True Bliss Medical, we strive to make your experience with RF Microneedling as comfortable and seamless as possible. One of the many benefits of choosing this advanced treatment is the minimal downtime involved. Most clients experience some redness and mild swelling immediately after the session, but these effects typically fade within 24 to 48 hours. Occasionally, there may be slight pinpoint bleeding or minor bruising, which generally resolves within a few days.

Your skin may feel a bit sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn, but you can usually resume regular activities within a day. Many people find they can apply makeup after 24 hours to cover any lingering redness. Depending on the depth and intensity of the treatment, full skin recovery—including the disappearance of any dryness or flaking—usually takes about three to seven days. To ensure the best results, aftercare instructions will be provided, including using gentle cleansers, keeping the skin moisturized, and protecting it from direct sun exposure.
