Stimulate Collagen for Youthful, Radiant Skin

RF microneedling combines the collagen-stimulating benefits of microneedling with the skin-tightening power of radiofrequency (RF) energy. At DeRosa Center, our providers utilize the Candela Profound RF system to deliver controlled heat through ultra-fine needles to the deeper layers of your skin, stimulating the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. This process naturally firms, smooths, and revitalizes the skin from within, reducing wrinkles, tightening laxity, and improving tone and texture over time.

Do I Need RF Microneedling?

If you’re starting to notice fine lines, loss of firmness, or uneven skin texture but aren’t ready for surgery, RF microneedling may be the perfect solution. This treatment helps rejuvenate your skin from within, addressing early signs of aging and restoring a naturally lifted, radiant look.

You may consider RF microneedling if:

  • You want to tighten mild to moderate skin laxity on your face, jawline, or neck
  • You notice fine lines, wrinkles, or crepey skin
  • You wish to smooth uneven texture or acne scars
  • You’re seeking firmer, more youthful-looking skin without surgery
  • You want to enhance skin tone and elasticity for long-lasting radiance

How Is RF Microneedling Performed?

During your RF microneedling treatment, your provider will begin by applying a topical or local anesthetic to ensure comfort. The Candela Profound RF handpiece is then placed against your skin, where ultra-fine needles gently penetrate the surface and deliver radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis. This controlled heat stimulates your natural healing response, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin. The treatment typically lasts 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the specific area being treated.

What Are the Benefits of RF Microneedling?

  • Stimulates natural collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production
  • Tightens and lifts areas with mild to moderate laxity, such as the jawline and neck
  • Improves fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture for a more youthful appearance
  • Enhances skin tone, radiance, and elasticity without the need for surgery
  • Delivers long-lasting results that continue to improve over several months
  • Suitable for all skin types and tones with minimal risk of pigmentation changes

RF Microneedling FAQs:

What Areas Can Be Treated With RF Microneedling?

RF microneedling can be performed on your face, neck, and jawline to firm sagging skin, smooth fine lines, and improve texture. It can also treat areas of the body with laxity or stretch marks, such as the abdomen, thighs, or décolleté. At DeRosa Center, your provider will tailor the treatment plan to your unique skin needs and aesthetic goals.

What Is Recovery Like After RF Microneedling?

You can expect mild redness, swelling, and tenderness for a few days after treatment, similar to the sensation of a sunburn. Most patients return to normal activities within a week. Following your provider’s aftercare instructions, such as avoiding makeup for 24 hours and protecting your skin from the sun, will support faster healing and optimal results.

When Will I See Results After RF Microneedling?

You may start to notice smoother, tighter skin within a few weeks, but optimal results typically develop over 3 to 6 months as your body naturally rebuilds collagen. The improvements are gradual and natural-looking, helping you look rejuvenated without appearing “done.”

How Many RF Microneedling Treatments Will I Need?

Most patients achieve noticeable tightening and rejuvenation after a single session with the Candela Profound RF system. Because this technology delivers energy deep into the skin to remodel collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, the results continue to improve for several months. Depending on your goals and skin condition, your provider may recommend a maintenance treatment every 1 to 2 years to sustain your results.
