- Minimal recovery with lasting improvement
At 82 Magnolia, our CRNA-led team personalizes settings, passes, and skincare so each session feels comfortable and delivers refined, confidence-building results.
What to Expect
What Happens During an RF Microneedling Treatment
Before your session, we apply a numbing cream to keep you comfortable.
During treatment, we make one to three passes with the microneedling device. Using a special applicator with coated pins, gentle heat warms the tissue to create a controlled injury that encourages tighter skin, softer wrinkles, and an overall refreshed look. You may feel light pressure and warmth as the pulses are delivered.
Most people do best with three treatment sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Each appointment typically takes about 60 minutes.

What skin concerns can RF microneedling treat?
RF microneedling can improve many common complexion concerns by refining texture, boosting firmness, and evening overall tone. It’s effective for reducing the appearance of
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven texture and tone
- Sun damage and discoloration
- Crepey skin
- Mild skin laxity
Treatments can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands, and with customized settings, most skin tones can be treated safely. For the best outcome, we recommend a series of three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart.
RF microneedling vs. microneedling without RF: what’s the difference?
Both treatments create precise microchannels that stimulate your skin’s natural healing process and collagen renewal.
The key difference is energy: RF microneedling delivers gentle radiofrequency heat through the needles into the deeper layers of the skin. This warmth activates the production of new collagen and elastin—the building blocks that keep skin firm, smooth, and resilient. The depth and energy can be adjusted to target issues like acne scars and mild laxity while keeping the surface of the skin protected.
Traditional microneedling focuses on mechanical micro-injury alone, which is great for improving surface texture and overall glow. Adding RF works deeper to enhance tightening and rejuvenation, with a similar brief downtime.
What is RF microneedling recovery and aftercare like?
Recovery from RF Microneedling is relatively easy, with only a few days of social downtime involved. For approximately one to three days following treatment, you may experience redness, itching, and swelling.
Post-procedure care includes:
- Using only a gentle cleanser, nothing abrasive
- Keeping the skin hydrated to promote rapid healing
- Staying away from anything that irritates your skin until it has healed
- Avoiding direct sun exposure and using mineral-based sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30
- Using products with growth factors, peptides, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and retinol to maintain your results after the initial healing process is complete
Follow this simple plan and your skin should recover quickly, revealing a fresh glow within days while deeper improvements continue to build over the weeks ahead.
How long does it take to see results?
Typically, patients will see initial results within a few days after their treatment. However, full results may take three to six months to appear, as collagen production takes time. But the results from RF Microneedling are long-lasting, and patients can expect to see a gradual and significant improvement in the appearance of their skin with maintenance sessions.
Can RF microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Popular pairings include PRP for added rejuvenation, neuromodulators, such as BOTOX® and Dysport®, to soften dynamic lines, and targeted pigment or vascular treatments between sessions when appropriate. We also recommend an at-home routine that includes medical-grade skincare to support barrier recovery and help extend results.
Your 82 Magnolia provider can create a timeline that allows treatments to complement each other rather than compete. Typically, this involves performing microneedling first and spacing injectables or energy procedures as needed for safety and optimal effect.
