Microneedling & RF Microneedling
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that has been trusted for decades. Using a device with fine, sterile needles, microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These microchannels stimulate the body’s natural healing response, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin.
The result is visibly smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin with improved tone, refined texture, and long-term collagen support.
Microneedling is commonly used to address:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- Acne scars
- Dull or aging skin
Areas Commonly Treated:
- Face
- Neck
- Jawline
- Acne-scarred areas
- Décolletage

What Is Radiofrequency Microneedling (RF Microneedling)?
Radiofrequency Microneedling (RF Microneedling) takes traditional microneedling to the next level by combining it with targeted radiofrequency (RF) energy.
During treatment, insulated microneedles deliver RF energy directly into the dermis, the deeper layer of the skin where collagen remodeling occurs. This dual-action approach provides both:
- Mechanical stimulation from the needles
- Thermal stimulation from RF energy
Together, they significantly enhance skin tightening, scar reduction, and collagen renewal, making RF Microneedling an excellent option for more advanced skin concerns.
Advanced Technology: Cynosure Lutronic INFINI
Our RF microneedling treatments are performed using the Cynosure Lutronic INFINI system, a clinically proven, FDA-cleared device designed for precision and safety.
Why INFINI Stands Out
- Real-time impedance monitoring for consistent energy delivery
- Insulated gold microneedles for controlled depth and minimal epidermal damage
- Customizable settings for different skin types and concerns
- Effective for skin tightening, acne scars, wrinkles, and texture irregularities
INFINI delivers RF energy exactly where it’s needed, allowing for powerful results with minimal downtime and a high safety profile for a wide range of skin tones.
Treatments are performed by trained medical professionals to ensure precision, safety, and optimal results.
What Is a Microneedling Treatment Like?
A typical microneedling or RF microneedling session lasts 45–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Treatment Steps:
- The skin is thoroughly cleansed.
- A topical numbing cream is applied and left on for approximately 30 minutes.
- Once numb, the skin is cleansed again.
- Pure hyaluronic acid is applied and microneedled into the skin section by section.
- After treatment, soothing aftercare products are applied.
Most patients describe the treatment as very tolerable, thanks to numbing and advanced device technology.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Microneedling and RF microneedling are well-tolerated with minimal downtime.
Common temporary side effects may include:
- Redness
- Mild swelling
- Sensitivity or warmth
These effects typically subside within 24–72 hours, depending on individual skin sensitivity and treatment intensity. A cold compress and proper post-care can help reduce inflammation and speed recovery.
What Results Can I Expect?
Results develop gradually as your skin produces new collagen.
- 2–3 weeks: Early improvements in skin tone and texture
- 3 months: Peak collagen production and visible skin tightening
- Ongoing: Continued improvement with a series of treatments
For best results, a series of treatments is usually recommended. Consistent professional treatments combined with proper home skincare will significantly enhance and maintain your results.

- Have mild to moderate skin laxity
- Struggle with acne scars
- Notice fine lines or crepey skin
- Want firmer skin without surgery
- Prefer minimal downtime
A personalized consultation will determine whether traditional microneedling or RF microneedling is best for your goals.
How many microneedling or RF microneedling sessions will I need?
Most patients benefit from 3–4 treatments, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your skin concerns and goals.
Is RF microneedling better than traditional microneedling?
RF microneedling offers deeper collagen stimulation and skin tightening, making it ideal for acne scars, wrinkles, and laxity. Traditional microneedling is excellent for overall texture and glow.
Is INFINI RF microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes. The Cynosure Lutronic INFINI system is safe for a wide range of skin tones due to its insulated needles and controlled RF delivery.
How much downtime should I expect?
Most patients experience mild redness for 1–3 days. Makeup is typically safe to apply within 24–48 hours, depending on your provider’s guidance.
When can I return to my normal skincare routine?
Gentle skincare can usually be resumed within 24 hours. Active ingredients (retinol, acids) are typically reintroduced after several days.
