What to Expect After Your First RF Microneedling Treatment

RF microneedling delivers tiny needles into the skin while releasing radio-frequency energy. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving texture, firmness, and fine lines.

Before your appointment, avoid retinoids, strong acids, and excessive sun for 3–5 days. During the treatment you'll feel warmth and mild pressure as the device works across the skin.

Afterwards, expect redness similar to a sunburn for 24–48 hours. Avoid washing your face for the first 24 hours, keep skin clean, and avoid makeup for at least 3 days. Use only gentle products, and avoid active ingredients, retinol, AHA, BHA, and exfoliation for 7 days. Wear SPF diligently. Results build over 4–6 weeks, with a series delivering the best outcome.
