Tighten Up Your Skincare Routine

RF microneedling in Fairfax, VA, and McLean, VA, involves creating controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface with tiny, sterile needles. This innovative technique stimulates the body’s natural wound-healing process, increasing collagen and elastin production, essential for maintaining youthful, radiant skin. At the same time, radiofrequency energy (RF) is delivered into the skin’s deeper layers for advanced tissue remodeling. RF Microneedling is versatile and can treat a variety of areas, including the face, neck, décolletage, arms, hands, legs, abdomen, and back. Individuals seeking to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks will benefit from this treatment.

Typically, visible improvements can be observed after just one session, with optimal results manifesting after multiple sessions. The longevity of the results varies, but with proper skincare and maintenance, benefits can last for several months. If you’re ready to rejuvenate your skin, we invite you to book an appointment at Sculpt Aesthetics in Fairfax, VA, or McLean, VA.

Where Science Meets Aesthetic Artistry

What is the RF Microneedling procedure like?

RF microneedling is a minimally invasive in-office procedure that typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

What to expect during treatment:

  1. Numbing Application: A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to ensure a comfortable experience.
  2. Microneedling with RF Energy: The microneedling device creates tiny micro-punctures, while radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production.
  3. Customizable Depth & Energy Levels: Our providers adjust the depth of penetration and RF intensity based on your skin type and concerns.
  4. Post-Treatment Care: A soothing serum is applied to aid healing.

Most patients notice visible improvements after one RF microneedling session. For enhanced results, we recommend a series of three treatments scheduled four to six weeks apart.

Deeply Refreshed and Rejuvenated

What conditions does RF Microneedling address?

RF microneedling is highly effective for treating a variety of skin concerns, including:

  • Acne scars and surgical scars: Improves skin texture and reduces the appearance of indented scars.

Your Best Skin Yet

RF Microneedling Results

Patients often see initial skin tone and texture improvements within one to two weeks. However, collagen remodeling continues for three to six months, revealing firmer, more youthful skin. Results can last one year or longer, especially with maintenance treatments.

For optimal skin tightening and rejuvenation, we often recommend having a series of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart.

RF Microneedling

Frequently Asked Questions

Almost anyone seeking to improve their skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance can benefit from RF microneedling. However, consulting with a professional is essential to determine individual suitability.

While some individuals notice improvements after just one session, optimal results typically manifest after multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart.

The longevity of RF microneedling results varies among individuals, but with proper skincare and maintenance, benefits can last for several months.

RF microneedling offers minimal downtime. Post-treatment, the skin may appear red or swollen, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually subsides within a few days.

Before the treatment, avoid sun exposure, certain medications, and skincare products that might irritate the skin. After the procedure, follow the aftercare instructions provided by your specialist, which typically include using a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sun protection.

In order to make it more comfortable, the area of treatment is numbed with a cream. The RF microneedling device is then glided over the skin, creating tiny punctures. The procedure is relatively quick, and while some mild discomfort may be felt, it’s generally well-tolerated.

While RF microneedling is suitable for various skin types, individuals with the following conditions should refrain from microneedling:

  • Presence of active skin cancer in the targeted treatment areas
  • Current use of products containing isotretinoin (like Accutane)
  • Allergies to stainless steel or anesthetics
  • Conditions related to hemorrhagic (bleeding) disorders or hemostatic (clotting) dysfunctions
  • Open wounds, sores, or inflamed skin in the designated treatment areas
  • Those who are pregnant or nursing
