RF Microneedling

At Aesthetic Center of Richmond Dermatology, we offer RF Microneedling, a cutting-edge treatment that combines the benefits of traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This advanced procedure stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin. It’s easy to achieve a radiant complexion with RF Microneedling regardless of whether you’re trying to reduce fine lines, acne scars, or improve skin laxity.

What Is RF Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy)?

RF Microneedling, or Collagen Induction Therapy, is a non-invasive procedure that produces micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process. Combined with radiofrequency (RF) energy, it delivers controlled heat deep into the skin’s layers, boosting collagen and elastin production. The process improves skin’s firmness and overall minimize fine lines and texture, making it an excellent option for addressing various skin concerns.

How RF Microneedling Works (Morpheus8® & Virtue RF)

Morpheus8® Technology

Morpheus8® is an advanced RF Microneedling treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. As a result of targeting deeper layers of skin, it is able to enhance the production of collagen, as well as improve the skin’s tone and texture. It’s suitable for treating areas such as the face, neck, and body, and can be customized to address specific concerns like skin laxity, wrinkles, and acne scars.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

Comfort and Pain Management

Before your treatment, we apply a cream that numbs the treatment area for your comfort. During the procedure, most patients report mild discomfort, describing the sensation as mild prickling or warmth.

Treatment Duration and Sessions

The RF Microneedling procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the treated area. Usually, 4-6 weeks between treatments are recommended for the best results.

Downtime and Recovery

There may be mild redness or swelling following the procedure, similar to mild sunburn, which usually resolves within 24-48 hours. The downtime is minimal, so most patients resume their daily activities immediately following treatment.
