As we age, our bodies produce fewer structural proteins and have a more challenging time recovering from environmental damage. As a result, we develop wrinkles, discoloration, and other skin concerns. Radiofrequency, or RF, microneedling provides a deeper treatment for those struggling with skin texture and tone.
What is Radiofrequency Microneedling?
RF microneedling utilizes the body’s healing abilities for skin rejuvenation. Tiny needles create microchannels in the skin to trigger collagen production. With radiofrequency microneedling, RF energy delves deeper into the tissue to stimulate more extensive collagen production and reduce subcutaneous fat.
Adjustable settings and needle lengths allow West Michigan Plastic Surgery practitioners to control the depth and intensity of skin rejuvenation. At West Michigan Plastic Surgery, we use the Morpheus8 for all RF microneedling treatments.
How Long Do RF Microneedling Results Last?
To enhance the longevity and effectiveness of your RF microneedling treatment, we recommend a series of 4-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. A series of treatments allows for optimal skin rejuvenation. After your initial treatments, most patients see results for 6-12 months before needing maintenance treatments.
What Results Can I Expect from RF Microneedling?
RF Microneedling treats various skin conditions, including fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, acne scars, large pores, hyperpigmentation, cellulite, and sagging skin. You can expect brighter, younger-looking skin after the first four microneedling sessions.

No downtime is required for RF microneedling; however, you may experience redness and sensitivity for one to three days. We recommend applying medical-grade skin products during this time.
For the first 24 hours, we recommend only washing with tepid water. For the next three days, only use gentle cleansers with hydrating products. The microchannels in the skin allow hyaluronic acid and other beneficial ingredients to reach deeper layers of the skin.
Should I Get RF Microneedling?
Radiofrequency microneedling works on all skin types and tones. If you have an active skin condition, are pregnant, receiving chemotherapy, or are at a higher risk of developing keloid scars, we do not recommend receiving radiofrequency microneedling treatments. Please schedule a consultation with a skin care expert at West Michigan Plastic Surgery to know what skin rejuvenation treatment is best for you.
