What does RF microneedling do? A clear explanation
Request a consultation ↗before a commitment
The short answer
RF microneedling is often marketed with broad language about tightening and rejuvenation. A better starting point is to understand the mechanism, what it is intended to address, and the risks that come with a medical device procedure.
A considered guide
The short answer
RF microneedling uses small electrodes or microneedles to deliver radiofrequency energy at selected depths. The purpose, settings, and treatment areas vary.
The device matters
Different devices are not identical. Ask which device is used, what it is authorized for, who performs it, and how settings are selected.
A consultation should include risk
The FDA has warned about serious complications reported with certain uses, including burns, scarring, fat loss, disfigurement, and nerve damage. Ask how the practice reduces risk and handles concerns.
