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 before it even sets in. One effective option that offers a handful of benefits is RF microneedling.
What is RF Microneedling?
Microneedling is a nonsurgical treatment technique that uses tiny needles to generate micro-wounds in the skin using a stamping or dermarolling handpiece. This process jumpstarts the skin’s natural wound healing processes and generates new collagen. 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.
Candidates for RF Microneedling
Patients who benefit most from RF microneedling are those who are looking for effective, non-surgical options to tighten skin and rejuvenate surface concerns. 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.

This procedure can be performed with the use of a topical anesthetic 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. Then, you can return home.
RF Microneedling Results and Maintenance
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 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 direct sunlight, 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.
