What Is RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling is a non-surgical treatment that uses tiny needles and RF energy to rejuvenate the skin from within. As the microneedles create controlled micro-injuries on the surface, radiofrequency energy is delivered deep into the dermis. This dual action stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, helping to tighten the skin, smooth texture, and improve tone.1,2

At BioSpa in Newport Beach, your treatment begins with a one-on-one consultation to ensure the procedure is tailored to your unique needs. During this visit, your provider will assess your skin type, review your medical history, and discuss your skincare goals in detail.
We’ll examine the treatment area, evaluate your current skincare regimen, and identify which skin concerns you’d like to address—such as fine lines, acne scars, stretch marks, or skin laxity. Based on your consultation, we’ll design a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals and fits your lifestyle.
Every aspect of your care is customized to support optimal results and long-term skin health.
How Should I Prepare for RF Microneedling?
To prepare for your treatment:
- Avoid sun exposure for at least one week prior
- Discontinue use of retinoids and exfoliating skincare products 3–5 days before treatment
- Inform us of any recent cosmetic treatments or medications you are taking
- Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup, lotions, or SPF if possible
- Stay hydrated and follow any additional pre-treatment instructions from your provider
How Does RF Microneedling Work?
Your provider will apply a topical numbing cream before the treatment to help keep you comfortable.
During the treatment, your provider will use a microneedling device with tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These microchannels deliver radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the dermis. This dual-action approach stimulates a natural healing response, boosts collagen and elastin production, and tightens the skin.
Treatment depth and intensity are customized to your skin type, condition, and the treatment area. Most sessions take about 30 to 60 minutes.
What Is Recovery Like After RF Microneedling?|
Most patients experience minimal downtime. You may notice:
- Redness and swelling similar to a mild sunburn
- Sensitivity or dryness for 1–3 days
- Mild flaking as the skin heals
Avoid direct sun exposure and use gentle, hydrating skincare products as directed. Most patients return to daily activities within a day.
How Many RF Microneedling Treatments Will I Need?
Your recommended treatment plan depends on your skin concerns and goals:
- Mild issues: 3 treatments spaced 10–14 days apart
- More significant skin concerns: 6–8 treatments may be needed
- Maintenance: One treatment every 6–12 months to support ongoing collagen production
Your provider will create a customized plan to help you achieve and maintain optimal results.
