Is RF Microneedling® Painful?

RF Microneedling® is designed to be a relatively comfortable experience. During treatment, a topical anesthetic is typically applied to minimize any discomfort, and most patients feel only a mild warming or prickling sensation as the device’s tiny needles work beneath the skin. The Infini device specifically focuses on maximizing patient comfort while delivering high-intensity RF energy, making it effective even for deeper treatments with minimal discomfort. Afterward, you may notice a little redness and sensitivity for a day or two.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

The number of RF Microneedling® appointments you’ll need varies based on your skin type, the concerns you’re addressing, and your desired results. However, patients usually schedule a series of 3 to 4 sessions every 4 to 6 weeks. During your initial consultation, Dr. Copeland or Dr. Copeland-Halperin will assess your individual needs and develop a personalized treatment plan. This way, you can achieve optimal results tailored to your unique skin goals!

How Long Until I See Results?

With RF Microneedling®, you can typically start noticing improvements in your skin’s texture and appearance within a few days post-treatment. However, the most noticeable results usually appear about 3 to 6 months after your final session, as collagen production continues to enhance your skin’s firmness and smoothness over time.

What Are the Risks Associated with RF Microneedling®?

Common side effects of RF Microneedling® include redness, swelling, mild discomfort at the treatment site, bruising, scabbing, or changes in skin texture as the skin heals. Dr. Copeland and Dr. Copeland-Halperin in New York City will provide thorough guidance on what to expect and how to minimize your risk.

What is RF Microneedling®?

RF Microneedling®, specifically with the advanced Infini® High-Intensity Focused RF Microneedling®, combines traditional microneedling with targeted radiofrequency energy to deliver powerful skin rejuvenation results. As tiny needles create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production, Infini®’s radiofrequency energy penetrates deeper, effectively tightening and smoothing the skin. This technology is specially designed to reduce wrinkles through 3-D volumization, delivering dramatic results with minimal discomfort.

With our unique combination treatments, Salmon Sperm DNA and Polynucleotides and/or platelet rich plasma (PRP) can boost your skin through their powerful antiaging properties that stimulate collagen, reduce inflammation, and hydrate the skin to reverse the signs of aging. By stacking these treatments with RF Microneedling®, Dr. Copeland and Dr. Copeland-Halperin are able to penetrate deeper layers of the skin with these potent adjunctive treatments.

What Are the Benefits of RF Microneedling®?

RF Microneedling® offers a range of benefits for anyone seeking smoother, firmer, and rejuvenated skin. By combining microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy, this treatment deeply stimulates collagen and elastin production, reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and even acne scars, improving skin texture, minimizing large pores, and enhancing overall tone.

RF Microneedling® Recovery

After treatment, your skin may be slightly red, warm, or feel tight—much like a mild sunburn. These effects usually fade within a day or two, and many people find they can go about their usual activities soon after. Infini RF Microneedling®’s advanced technology minimizes downtime, so you’re not stuck hiding out at home; you can comfortably get back to work or social plans.

Over the next few days, you might notice some flaking or mild dryness as the skin regenerates, signaling the beginning of the collagen-boosting process beneath the surface. Make sure to keep your skin moisturized and apply sunscreen diligently to protect the new, healing skin. As collagen production ramps up in the weeks following treatment, you’ll see progressive skin texture, tone, and firmness improvements, with full results visible around three months post-treatment.
