RF Microneedling

Revive and tighten your skin with minimal downtime. RF Microneedling combines collagen-stimulating needles with radiofrequency energy to contour, firm, and refine skin tone—ideal for the face, neck, abdomen, arms, and more.

Advanced Skin Remodeling at Southern Surgical Arts

At Southern Surgical Arts, we use RF microneedling technology to bridge the gap between surface skincare and surgical lifting. This clinically backed treatment stimulates deep collagen remodeling and tightens tissue using controlled heat and precision microneedles. It’s one of the most effective ways to achieve visible skin refinement without surgery.

What Is RF Microneedling?

RF Microneedling (radio frequency) is a minimally invasive treatment that combines tiny, controlled needle punctures with energy-based heat delivered below the surface. Together, these actions trigger the body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin to firm the skin and improve texture, tone, and tightness.

Firmer, tighter skin
Improved tone and texture
Fading of fine lines and scars
Minimal recovery time
Natural collagen regeneration
Suitable for face, neck, and body

Am I a Good Candidate for RF Microneedling?

During your consultation, we evaluate your skin type, health history, and treatment goals. Most adults in good health are excellent candidates for this collagen-building treatment. The following are ideal candidates:

Individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity
Patients with texture or acne scarring concerns
Adults looking for non-surgical skin tightening
Those not currently pregnant or on acne medications
People with realistic expectations and a commitment to aftercare

What to Expect During Treatment

We begin with a consultation to evaluate your skin and map treatment areas. A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.

Skin is cleansed and numbed
Microneedling device delivers RF energy beneath the skin
Treated areas may appear red or warm
A calming serum is applied
Return to regular activity with light sun protection

RF Microneedling Frequently Asked Questions

Is RF microneedling the same as traditional microneedling?

No—RF adds a heat element that penetrates deeper, tightening skin and improving firmness more significantly.

How long do results last?

Results can last 12–18 months, depending on your skin’s aging process and lifestyle. Maintenance treatments may be recommended annually.

Can it be used on darker skin tones?

Yes. RF Microneedling is considered safe for most skin types when performed by experienced providers.

Does it hurt?

A strong topical numbing cream is used. Most patients report mild discomfort, especially in bony areas.

What are the risks?

Risks include redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding, or rarely, skin irritation or pigmentation changes. These are minimized with professional care.

How soon can I wear makeup?

Makeup can usually be applied 24–48 hours after treatment, once redness subsides.
