About RF Microneedling

RF microneedling is a procedure that uses a device with fine needles to create small micro-injuries in the skin, combined with radio frequency energy to boost collagen production and improve the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, and other skin imperfections.

RF microneedling cost typically starts at around $800. The procedure usually takes around 90-120 minutes. Recovery time is minimal, with most patients returning to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Common side effects include redness, swelling, and mild pain at the treatment site. These side effects usually resolve within a few days, and the final results will be visible after 2-3 months.

About method

RF (Radiofrequency) Microneedling is an innovative treatment method combining microneedling at different depths and radiofrequency energy to tighten loose skin, erase acne scars, minimize stretch marks, reduce unwanted fat, boost collagen production and much more.

How does RF microneedling work?

During the procedure, a device with sterile gold plated microneedling attachment uses radiofrequency generator to make tiny punctures in the skin. The radio frequency energy heats the underlying tissue and stimulates the production of collagen, which helps to tighten and smooth the skin.

What are the steps of the RF microneedling procedure?

Consultation: During a consultation with Dr. Natalya, she will evaluate your skin and determine if RF Microneedling is the best treatment option for your needs and concerns. Based on the evaluation, she will create a personalized treatment plan, which may include multiple treatment sessions for the best results.

Cleansing the skin: Your skin will be cleaned and prepared for the procedure to reduce the risk of infection.

Anesthesia: Before the procedure, your face will be numbed using a topical numbing cream called BLT (benzocaine, lidocaine, and tetracaine), making the treatment very comfortable and virtually pain-free.

Applying the device: The device will be moved over the treatment area, making tiny punctures in your skin and delivering radiofrequency energy to the underlying tissue.

After RF microneedling: We apply especially designed microcurrent mask immediately after the treatment, to drive nourishing solutions into open skin, while calming and soothing the redness.

Exceptional post care: Included with every microneedle RF treatment is a 5 day Epionce essential recovery kit. Immediately following your treatment the skin will have open channels, ready to absorb anything you apply to it.
