Radio-Frequency Microneedling (RF Microneedling)

Radio Frequency (RF) Micro-Needling is a powerful skin rejuvenating treatment. It works beneath the surface to support and improve your skin from within. Using advanced technology, this procedure is designed to refine and refresh your appearance. We have this treatment available in Brooklyn, NY.

RF Micro-Needling for Skin Rejuvenation and Tightening:

Radio-frequency (RF) microneedling is a minimally invasive, non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that enhances the collagen-boosting benefits of traditional microneedling with radio-frequency energy for deeper skin tightening and resurfacing. Using the PiXel8-RF device, this advanced procedure delivers bi-polar radio-frequency energy deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin production while improving skin tone, texture, and elasticity. The combination of RF heat and micro-injuries encourages skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and scar improvement for a more youthful appearance. 

RF microneedling is safe for all skin types and can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, abdomen, arms, and knees. The microneedle depth is fully customizable, allowing treatments to be tailored based on skin type, target area, and individual patient needs to achieve optimal anti-aging and skin-rejuvenation results.

What Does RF Micro-Needling Treat?

RF microneedling is an advanced skin rejuvenation and tightening procedure that effectively addresses a wide range of skin concerns, including:

  • Double Chin Reduction – Stimulates collagen and tightens skin to reduce sagging under the chin.
  • Skin Tone and Texture Improvement – Enhances overall skin smoothness, brightness, and elasticity.
  • Stretch Mark Reduction – Minimizes the appearance of stretch marks by promoting skin regeneration.
  • Fine Lines and Wrinkles – Reduces signs of aging by increasing collagen and elastin production.
  • Acne Scars & Other Scarring – Helps fade acne scars, surgical scars, and other textural irregularities.
  • Skin Tightening & Lifting – Firms and contours the jowls, neck, knees, arms, abdomen, and other areas prone to skin laxity.

 Treatment Details & What to Expect:

  • Anesthesia: A topical numbing cream is applied 45 minutes before the procedure to ensure comfort. Additionally, we offer Pro-Nox™, a patient-controlled nitrous oxide (laughing gas) system, which helps reduce discomfort and anxiety during the treatment. Pro-Nox provides immediate pain relief and relaxation, wears off quickly, and allows patients to resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.
  • Procedure Length: Treatments typically last 30-50 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
  • Recommended Sessions: For optimal results, a series of 3-5 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended.
  • Downtime & Recovery:
    • Mild redness, swelling, and scabbing may occur for 1-2 days post-procedure.
    • Makeup can be applied 24 hours after treatment to cover any temporary redness.
    • Avoid direct sun exposure and strenuous activities for a few days to support proper healing.

Enhancing RF Microneedling Results with Radiesse or Sculptra:

For optimal skin rejuvenation and tightening, Dr. Olga Zilberstein often recommends a combination approach by injecting the skin with biostimulatory fillers such as Radiesse or Sculptra before RF micro-needling. These treatments work synergistically to boost collagen production, enhance skin elasticity, and improve overall treatment outcomes.

  • Radiesse: A calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) filler that not only provides immediate volumizing effects but also acts as a powerful collagen stimulator. When injected into the skin, Radiesse encourages natural collagen production, making the skin firmer, thicker, and more youthful over time. It is particularly effective for treating loose skin on the face, neck, and hands. It also improves skin tone and texture. 

  • Sculptra: A poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injectable that works deep within the skin to gradually rebuild lost collagen and restore volume. Unlike traditional fillers that add volume instantly, Sculptra stimulates collagen over time, improving skin density, texture, and elasticity for a more natural, long-lasting rejuvenation.

By using Radiesse or Sculptra before RF microneedling, we prime the skin for enhanced collagen remodeling, leading to superior firming, smoothing, and tightening effects. This approach is ideal for patients seeking a more intensive anti-aging solution.

Maximizing Results with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) or Exosome Therapy Post-Treatment:

To further enhance the benefits of RF microneedling, we apply Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) or Exosomes immediately after the procedure. These healing agents accelerate skin regeneration, improve recovery, and maximize collagen and elastin stimulation for long-lasting results.

  • Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF): PRF is derived from the patient’s own blood plasma and is packed with growth factors, white blood cells, and fibrin, which stimulate natural healing and collagen formation. Unlike PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRF contains a higher concentration of regenerative cells and releases growth factors over time, promoting faster healing, improved skin texture, and enhanced skin tightening.

  • Exosome Therapy for Skin Regeneration: Exosome therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment that utilizes cellular messengers derived from stem cells to promote skin repair and rejuvenation. Exosomes play a crucial role in cell communication and tissue regeneration, delivering a concentrated blend of growth factors, proteins, and RNA to stimulate collagen and elastin production, accelerate healing, and reduce inflammation.

    When applied after RF Micro-Needling, exosomes provide instant cooling and deep hydration, strengthen the skin barrier, improve overall skin texture, and help diminish the appearance of age-related pigmentation. By enhancing the skin’s natural healing process, exosome therapy maximizes the benefits of microneedling, resulting in faster recovery, improved skin elasticity, and a more youthful, radiant complexion.

Applying PRF or Exosomes post-treatment ensures faster recovery, deeper collagen production, and long-term skin improvements, making RF Micro-Needling results even more transformative.

In addition, we incorporate Red Light Therapy (RLT) as part of our post-procedure care. Red light therapy utilizes low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to reduce redness and inflammation.
