RF Microneedling pairs ultra fine needles with radiofrequency energy released beneath the surface. The needles create controlled microchannels while the RF heat warms the deeper dermis, a dual action that stimulates collagen and elastin more than microneedling alone. A single session lets you experience the treatment and begin remodeling texture, tone and firmness.
It helps with early laxity, acne scars, fine lines and visible pores, and suits anyone wanting to try RF microneedling before committing to a series or refreshing results between packages. At our Merrick clinic, your provider tailors depth and energy to your skin type and concerns, then advises whether more sessions would add meaningful benefit.

What to Expect
Your session begins with a quick consultation to review your skin, goals and any active products. Numbing cream is applied for comfort, then the handpiece is pressed gently across each area, delivering warmth through the microneedles. Afterward you may look and feel sunburned, with mild redness and slight swelling that usually ease within 48 hours. Makeup can typically return within a day or two. Your provider will advise whether additional sessions are worthwhile.
