Reclaim Your Radiance With RF Microneedling
If you’re looking for a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that improves texture, tone, and tightness, radiofrequency (RF) microneedling could be the perfect solution. Dr. Mona Hardas, a board-certified gynecologist and aesthetic medicine specialist, offers this innovative treatment to help patients in Detroit achieve smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
What Is RF Microneedling?
Radiofrequency microneedling combines traditional microneedling with RF energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This dual-action approach promotes skin remodeling, reduces wrinkles, and improves tone and texture.
Dr. Mona uses the Exceed™ Microneedling device with RF energy. The Exceed™ Microneedling device is FDA-cleared for both wrinkle reduction and acne scar treatment. Designed for precision and effectiveness, Exceed™ Microneedling with RF allows for a high degree of customization and exceptional outcomes when used to target:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars and surgical scarsUneven skin tone and textureSkin laxity on the face, neck, and bodyEnlarged poresStretch marks
Benefits of RF Microneedling
Increased collagen and elastin productionSkin tighteningReduced fine lines, wrinkles, and scarsNon-surgical treatmentMinimal downtimeSafe for all skin types and tones
What to Expect During Treatment
To begin, a topical numbing cream is applied, so you will be comfortable during the procedure. Dr. Mona will then guide the Exceed™ Microneedling handpiece across the treatment site. The microneedles create controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen production, and RF energy is applied to deeper layers of the skin for enhanced tightening and rejuvenation.
Total treatment time is usually 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Discomfort is minimal, though it is normal to experience a warm, tingling sensation during the procedure.
What to Expect After Radiofrequency Microneedling
After microneedling with RF, patients may experience minor redness and swelling in the treated area. These symptoms tend to be similar to a mild sunburn and typically subside within a day or two. Some patients may experience minor flaking or peeling as the skin heals and regenerates.
Unlike more aggressive skin resurfacing treatments, RF microneedling involves minimal downtime, and most patients are back to their normal activities within 48 hours. For optimal healing and results, Dr. Mona recommends:
- Avoiding direct sun exposure for a few days
- Using gentle skincare products to keep the skin clean and hydrated
- Applying a high-quality sunscreen
RF Microneedling Results
Many patients notice an improvement in skin texture and tone within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over the next three to six months as collagen and elastin levels increase. For optimal results, a series of three to four treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is often recommended.
Short-term improvements
A noticeable glow and smoother texture within the first month
Long-term benefits
Progressive skin tightening, scar reduction, and wrinkle reduction over several months
Patients who take care to protect their skin from the sun and who are consistent with proper at-home skincare can enjoy their RF microneedling results for 12 months or more.
