Achieving youthful and radiant skin is a common goal for many, but with so many treatments on the market, it can be challenging to find the right solution. Enter RF Microneedling—a revolutionary treatment combining traditional microneedling with the power of radiofrequency energy to deliver transformative skin results.
If you’re looking to enhance your skin’s texture, reduce signs of aging, or address stubborn acne scars, RF Microneedling might be the perfect treatment for you.
What is RF Microneedling?
RF Microneedling, also known as Radiofrequency Microneedling, is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that merges the benefits of microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy.
Microneedling involves creating micro-injuries in the skin using fine needles, which stimulate collagen production. When combined with RF energy, this treatment not only enhances collagen and elastin production but also tightens the skin through heat delivered to the deeper layers of the dermis. This dual-action approach makes RF Microneedling more effective than traditional microneedling treatments.
How Does RF Microneedling Work?
During an RF Microneedling session, a specialized device with tiny, insulated needles creates controlled micro-punctures in the skin’s surface. As these needles penetrate the skin, they deliver RF energy deep into the dermal layers. This combination of physical micro-injury and heat stimulation triggers the body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production. The result is firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin.

What to Expect During the Treatment
A typical RF Microneedling session at Refine, MD Northwest begins with a thorough skin consultation with Dr. McIntosh or his staff to determine your specific skin needs. During the treatment, a topical anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort. The procedure itself involves passing the RF Microneedling device over the targeted areas, which might cause a mild warming sensation. Most treatments last between 30 minutes and one hour, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Post-Treatment Care
After RF Microneedling, you might experience some redness or mild swelling, similar to a sunburn. These effects are temporary and usually subside within a few days. It’s important to follow post-care instructions, which may include:
- Avoiding direct sun exposure
- Using a gentle, hydrating moisturizer
- Applying sunscreen to protect the healing skin
Ideal Candidates for RF Microneedling
RF Microneedling is an excellent option for individuals looking to address:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and enlarged pores
- Uneven skin texture
- Mild skin laxity
- Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
However, individuals with active skin infections, certain skin conditions, or those who are pregnant may not be suitable candidates. A consultation with a skincare professional, like Dr. McIntosh at Refine, MD Northwest, is essential to determine if RF Microneedling is right for you.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
The number of sessions required varies based on your skin goals and specific concerns. Many patients see significant improvement after just one treatment, but for optimal results, a series of three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is often recommended. Maintenance sessions every six to 12 months can help preserve the results.
