RF Microneedling
What is RF Microneedling?
RF Microneedling, also known as radiofrequency microneedling, is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that combines the benefits of traditional microneedling and radiofrequency energy. It is designed to improve skin texture and firmness by stimulating collagen production.
During the procedure, tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production. At the same time, radiofrequency energy is delivered into deeper layers of the skin through these tiny channels. This heat promotes further collagen remodeling and tightening of existing collagen fibers.
The combination of microneedles with radiofrequency technology makes RF Microneedling an effective solution for various skin concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone or texture, acne scars, enlarged pores, and sagging skin. The procedure can be customized based on individual needs and delivers long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
The Benefits of RF Microneedling
- Improved skin texture: RF microneedling can help to smooth out rough skin, minimize the appearance of acne scars, and reduce the size of pores. By stimulating collagen production, this treatment promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells.
- Reduced wrinkles and fine lines: Our skin naturally loses elasticity as we age. RF microneedling helps tighten and firm the skin by boosting collagen production. This can lead to a reduction in the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines.
- Enhanced skin rejuvenation: RF microneedling addresses existing skin concerns and encourages overall improvement in your complexion. You can achieve a more youthful glow with increased collagen synthesis and improved blood circulation.
RF Microneedling With PRP
Enhance the results of your RF microneedling treatment at YES MD Atlanta by adding Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy.
- When combined with RF microneedling, PRP delivers even more impressive rejuvenation and skin-tightening effects.
- PRP uses growth factors from your blood to stimulate collagen production and accelerate healing.
- The process involves drawing a small amount of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets, and then applying this concentrated solution topically or injecting it back into specific areas of concern.
By incorporating PRP into your RF microneedling session, you maximize its benefits for firmer, smoother skin while promoting faster recovery. Take advantage of this powerful combination offered right here at YES MD Atlanta!

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to see results from RF Microneedling?
Patients often start seeing improvements in their skin after just one session of RF Microneedling. However, multiple sessions are typically recommended for optimal results. The effects of each treatment gradually become more noticeable over time as collagen continues to rebuild and regenerate in the months following the procedure. Most patients experience significant improvement in their skin's appearance within 4-6 weeks after completing a series of treatments.
Is there any downtime or recovery period associated with RF Microneedling?
RF Microneedling has minimal downtime compared to more invasive procedures like surgery. Immediately after treatment, patients may experience mild redness or swelling in the treated area, similar to a sunburn-like sensation; however, this usually subsides within a few hours. Some patients may also notice tiny pinpoint scabs where the needles were inserted, typically healing within a week or two. It is essential to follow post-treatment instructions provided by your healthcare provider to optimize healing and reduce potential complications.
