Infini™ RF Microneedling in Atlanta

For many patients, signs of aging are synonymous with facial plastic surgery. Although this might once have been the case, there are more non-surgical alternatives than ever to combat aging skin before it even sets in. One effective option that offers a handful of benefits is RF microneedling.

What is RF Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment technique (also known as collagen induction therapy) that uses tiny needles to generate micro-wounds in the skin using a stamping or dermarolling handpiece. This process will jumpstart the skin’s natural wound-healing processes and stimulate collagen production Infini™ RF (radio-frequency) microneedling takes this one step further by administering radio-frequency waves within the deep layers of the skin to cause collagen contraction by generating gentle heat. Over time, this process can firm and tighten the skin while boosting cell turnover and reducing the appearance of many different skin concerns.

How RF Microneedling Works

A micro-needling device creates extremely tiny wounds. The body reacts by producing new collagen, elastin and capillaries in the skin resulting in rejuvenated, firmer skin with improved texture and fewer wrinkles.

How Does RF Microneedling Differ from Regular Microneedling

Regular microneedling focuses on the surface of the skin to improve texture and tone, RF microneedling works at a deeper level to address both superficial and structural concerns. By combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy, the treatment not only stimulates collagen production but also delivers controlled heat beneath the skin. This results in firmer, tighter, and more lifted skin compared to standard microneedling alone.

Good Candidates for RF Microneedling

Patients who benefit most from RF microneedling in Atlanta are those who are looking for effective, non-surgical options for skin tightening and surface concerns like acne scars and uneven skin texture and skin tone. It is a suitable treatment for all skin types. This treatment can be used on many different areas of the face and body where aging signs and skin laxity are common, like the jawline, chest and décolleté, upper arms, and midface. During a consultation, Dr. DiFrancesco and our skincare experts can create the ideal treatment package for you and your cosmetic goals.

What to Expect During RF Microneedling Consultation

During this appointment, Dr. Lisa DiFrancesco and our skincare specialists will evaluate your skin type, discuss your primary concerns, and determine whether RF microneedling is the ideal treatment for your goals. We’ll also review your medical history, current skincare routine, and any previous cosmetic treatments to ensure the procedure is both safe and effective for you.

Preparing for RF Microneedling

Before your treatment, our team will provide detailed instructions to help you achieve the best possible outcome. You may be advised to avoid direct sun exposure, exfoliating products, or certain active ingredients such as retinoids in the days leading up to your appointment. Staying well-hydrated and maintaining a gentle skincare routine will also help your skin respond more effectively to treatment.

Your RF Microneedling Treatment

This procedure can be performed with the use of a topical numbing cream so that you’re comfortable and relaxed. The specialized handpiece is carefully applied to your treatment area so that it can create tiny channels in the skin and access the deep layers for targeted RF treatment. Afterward, serums with active ingredients can be applied to further address your concerns.

Steps for RF Microneedling

Your RF microneedling treatment begins with the application of a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Once your skin is prepared, the handheld device is applied to the treatment area to create controlled micro-injuries while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy deep within the skin. This dual action stimulates collagen and elastin production, remodels tissue, and encourages long-term tightening. After the procedure, soothing serums or recovery products may be applied to enhance your results and promote healing.

RF Microneedling Risks and Recovery

RF microneedling is a safe and well-tolerated procedure when performed by experienced professionals. Mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity may occur immediately after treatment, similar to a light sunburn, but these effects typically resolve within a day or two. Most patients can return to their normal activities right away. It’s important to follow post-treatment instructions closely, including avoiding sun exposure and applying sunscreen to protect your skin. Over the following weeks, collagen remodeling continues beneath the surface, revealing firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin.

Maintaining RF Microneedling Results

RF microneedling works best as a series of treatments to fully address your skin concerns. However, you can return for maintenance treatments as needed. You can expect to see your full results emerge at around two months after treatment, but you’ll see a noticeable improvement in your skin’s quality after one or two weeks. There’s no downtime required with this treatment, so you can return to your regular schedule immediately. It’s extremely important to avoid sun exposure, so be sure to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen for the first few days after treatment. Our skincare experts can recommend the right physician-grade products to use at home to maintain your results, as well as additional treatments to augment your new look.
