What is Radiofrequency Microneedling?

At Mountain View Dermatology and Aesthetics in Tucson, AZ, RF microneedling is an advanced treatment that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. Tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin while delivering thermal energy to deeper layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This treatment improves skin firmness, texture, and overall health, while also assisting with fat reduction, acne improvement, and skin rejuvenation. Contact Dr. Marc I. Epstein and our team to schedule a consultation and learn more about this innovative procedure.

How Does RF Microneedling Work?

Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. The RF microneedling device is then adjusted based on your treatment goals. The needles create tiny controlled injuries in the skin, which triggers collagen production. Simultaneously, concentrated radiofrequency pulses remodel the dermis, tightening the skin and improving its appearance. Results develop gradually over the following months, offering long-lasting rejuvenation.

What to Expect After RF Microneedling
