Key Takeaways

• Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling for skin tightening is a noninvasive treatment that uses controlled radiofrequency energy to heat tissue beneath the skin.

• RF can help improve skin firmness, texture, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production.

• There’s usually little to no downtime, so it’s a great non-surgical skin tightening treatment.

• Some people undergo a series of RF treatments to achieve more noticeable results.

• Using sunscreen daily, and following post-treatment care instructions helps protect the skin and maintain results.

As we age, our skin naturally becomes less firm and elastic. One reason is that our bodies produce less collagen, a protein that helps support the skin’s structure to keep it strong and resilient. The decrease in collagen production is what contributes to sagging around the jawline, cheeks, and neck. If you’re looking to firm loose skin without surgery, radiofrequency skin tightening is a great noninvasive cosmetic treatment.

What is Radiofrequency Skin Tightening?

Radiofrequency microneeding for skin tightening is a revolutionary noninvasive treatment that uses 36 gold-plated needles alongside red or blue LED to safely deliver a specific amount of radio frequency energy to the skin. This treatment is used to tighten skin, minimize wrinkles, improve skin laxity, skin texture, acne, scars, and stretch marks.

There’s minimal discomfort, but you can request numbing cream from your provider for additional comfort. Downtime is minimal, and best results are seen after 3-5 sessions.

RF Microneeding for Skin Tightening Before and After

RF microneeding for skin tightening results show gradually over time and become more noticeable in the weeks and months after treatment.

Before Treatment

Before the treatment, your esthetician will apply a gel to the area, and then gently move the RF device across your skin. 

During Treatment

You may feel a warm sensation as the energy heats the deeper layers of the skin. Your experience may vary depending on the type of RF treatment, the settings used, and the area being treated. 

After Treatment

After RF treatment, your skin may look slightly pink or feel warm, however, this usually fades within a few hours. There’s typically little to no downtime, so you can return to your usual routine after treatment.

You may also notice some tightening right away, but you’ll see the final results over the next two to six months as new collagen production continues and your skin becomes firmer and smoother. Best results are seen with 3-5 sessions.

To help maintain your skin after RF treatment, stay hydrated, wear sunscreen every day, and follow aftercare instructions. Shop our recommended sunscreens.
