How is RF Microneedling Performed?
Microneedling uses an instrument (with tiny needles on the end) that's rolled carefully around the skin to puncture and make micro-injuries that "disrupt" the tissues and produce collagen. Some even refer to this technique as collagen induction treatment. New skin grows as the skin begins to heal, leaving the top layer feeling and looking brighter, smoother, and refreshed. Although this procedure is commonly done on its own, combining this innovative technique with radiofrequency microneedling technologies has enabled us to maximize patient outcomes.
The method is quite straightforward. The handheld Agnes device emits radiofrequency heat and delivers brief pulses of RF energy. The power is delivered through the needles, which concurrently puncture your skin and returns the electrodes to the skin. The RF energy heats at levels that provide cumulative and continuing benefits.

What To Expect After RF Microneedling
After undergoing RF microneedling, patients can expect a brief downtime as the skin begins healing. It's common to experience redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to a sunburn in the treated areas for the first few days. However, these side effects typically subside within a week, revealing a smoother, firmer, and more rejuvenated complexion. Over the following weeks to months, as collagen production is stimulated, the full benefits of the treatment, including improved skin texture and reduced appearance of scars or wrinkles, will become increasingly visible.
