Microneedling with Radiofrequency
Microneedling is a noninvasive method of skin rejuvenation that uses your body’s natural healing process to improve the appearance of the skin. It’s true that the majority of patients seek microneedling with radiofrequency treatment for its anti-aging benefits like smooth, taut skin and a less wrinkled appearance, but it also corrects scarring due to acne. The collagen that the procedure creates helps fade your scarring. The result is the restoration of your flawless skin! Click now to book your consultation.
What is Microneedling?
Traditional microneedling uses a special device that creates micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s own healing response. Collagen and elastin production are initiated, which effectively tightens skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and acne scarring.
In addition to the benefits seen with the micro-injury provided by the microneedles, RF microneedling also delivers RF energy deep into the dermis further enhancing skin tightening and scar reduction. The RF energy heats the underlying layers, causing constriction and tightening of the skin, as well as the stimulation of collagen and elastin production. Because the RF energy is delivered so deeply, it can produce faster, more dramatic results.
Microneedling can be used to address many common concerns, including:
- Sun damage
- Acne scars
- Fine lines
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin tone
- Sagging skin
Microneedling procedures are most commonly performed on the face but are also effective at rejuvenating skin all over the body including stretch marks, loose skin under the chin and other areas such at underarms. The increase in collagen plumps up your skin and reduces the appearance of scars and fine lines. Microneedling also makes it easier for your skin to absorb topical products.
What should I expect during the procedure?
To ensure the safety and effectiveness of your treatment, all microneedling procedures at Image Revolution Health and Medical Spa are performed by an experienced physician. To begin the procedure, your doctor applies a topical numbing cream to control any discomfort. Then the microneedling device, outfitted with a cluster of needles, delivers several dozen pricks about three millimeters deep into your skin. The device also shoots radiofrequency energy into your skin to treat scars and wrinkles and yield a fuller, more youthful look.
Together, the needles and heat energy stimulate your skin into creating new collagen and hyaluronic acid, which help repair tissue and hydrate your skin, respectively. One session is about 20 minutes, and a minimum of three sessions is recommended for optimal results. It’s common, as well, to undergo touch-up procedures to maintain your appearance.
Is there downtime?
Although the microneedling procedure is extremely safe, some mild side effects are to be expected. Many patients report a slightly uncomfortable yet tolerable experience. Redness and swelling around the treated site is not unexpected, though this should only be mild. Your face might also feel warm, as if you have a sunburn.
Microneedling is a noninvasive procedure, so recovery time is minimal. As you recover, it’s important to keep the skin clean and moisturized. You should also avoid sun exposure and sweating.
When will I see results?
You will have an “inner glow” with very first treatment, however, most patients find that at least 3 treatments are needed to achieve desired results. Depending on the condition of your skin and your desired outcome, you could need up to six treatments.
During your consultation, Drs. McGuire and Alam will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan. With the right treatment plan, microneedling offers smoother, youthful, healthier appearing skin with minimal to no downtime.

What is the Total Skin Solution by Image Health Revolution?
Total Skin Solution is a combination of microneedling with rf and laser facial. This is the ultimate medical skin rejuvenation and is by far, the most effective and popular treatment for your face. These two devices will treat the entire depth of the skin, from deep layers of the dermis to superficial layers of the epidermis.
The total skin solution is a two step process providing a unique anti-aging solution for long-lasting results.
First, we use the Lutronic Genius with RF to perform a microneedling treatment which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin for sustained improvement in wrinkles, loose sagging skin, acne scars, and laxity of the face, neck, and body.
Then we use the LaseMD ultra, which is a nonablative fractionated laser that gently resurfaces the skin to achieve marked improvement in abnormal skin discoloration, pigmentation from issues such as melasma and sun damage as well as superficial fine lines, acne hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone.
Everything your skin needs – packaged in this one effective treatment.
