RF Microneedling, or Radiofrequency Microneedling, is a next-generation collagen-stimulating treatment that rejuvenates skin from the inside out. At Calabasas Med Spa, this advanced procedure combines the power of microneedling with controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten skin, refine texture, and improve tone with minimal downtime. It’s a favorite among patients seeking natural-looking rejuvenation and long-term skin health.
Traditional microneedling uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating your body’s natural healing process and encouraging new collagen production. RF Microneedling takes this one step further. As the needles penetrate, they deliver gentle bursts of radiofrequency heat energy into the deeper dermal layers.
This combination creates precise thermal stimulation that remodels collagen and elastin while tightening the skin from within. The result: smoother, firmer, and more refined skin texture that continues to improve over time.
Because the RF energy is delivered below the surface, the treatment is safe for most skin types and can achieve impressive results without significant peeling or recovery.
RF Microneedling addresses multiple skin concerns at once, including:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars and surgical scars
Loose or crepey skin on the face, neck, or body
Enlarged pores
Uneven tone and rough texture
Stretch marks
Early skin laxity and volume loss
Patients often notice their skin feels firmer and more lifted, with improved clarity and smoothness after just a few sessions.
RF Microneedling can be performed safely on the:
Face and jawline
Neck and décolletage
Abdomen
Upper arms
Knees or thighs
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to ensure comfort. The procedure takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. You may feel gentle warmth or a mild prickling sensation as the device delivers energy.
Following treatment, mild redness or swelling can occur for 1–2 days, similar to a light sunburn. Most patients can resume normal activities within 24 hours and wear makeup the next day.
Over the next several weeks, collagen remodeling occurs naturally, revealing progressively smoother, tighter, and healthier-looking skin.
RF Microneedling produces the best results when performed in a series of 3–4 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Noticeable tightening and textural improvement often begin within weeks, with continued enhancement for several months as collagen production builds.
For long-term maintenance, many patients schedule touch-up sessions every 6–12 months to sustain their results.
RF Microneedling pairs beautifully with other rejuvenating procedures for comprehensive results:
IPL Photofacial: Reduces sun spots, redness, and discoloration for even tone.
Clear + Brilliant: Refines surface texture and enhances glow.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Can be added for an extra boost in collagen renewal and healing.
