If you're noticing early signs of skin laxity, fine lines, acne scars, or uneven texture, but aren't ready for more aggressive laser treatments or dermatologic surgery, RF microneedling could be the answer. This minimally invasive treatment uses tiny needles and radiofrequency energy to trigger your skin’s natural healing response, leading to collagen and elastin production—which means smoother texture, tighter skin, and a more refreshed appearance over time.
At 4esthetics Lounge in Lexington, KY, our RF microneedling procedure is customized to your skin type and treatment goals. Whether you're focused on reducing fine lines, firming areas of sagging skin, or addressing stretch marks or acne scars, your treatment is carefully designed to deliver safe, natural-looking improvements with minimal downtime.

RF microneedling, also called radiofrequency microneedling or microneedling with radiofrequency, is a cosmetic procedure that treats the deeper layers of the skin using two technologies at once. First, tiny needles create controlled microinjuries (or tiny wounds) in the skin’s surface. At the same time, targeted radiofrequency energy is delivered beneath the skin, stimulating collagen formation and elastin production where it counts.
This combination encourages your body to heal and build healthy new skin, improving concerns like fine lines, acne scars, and skin laxity to address skin tightening and refine overall tone and texture.
Compared to traditional microneedling, adding RF energy allows us to reach deeper layers of the skin for greater, longer-lasting benefits.
Before your RF microneedling treatment, we’ll apply a topical anesthetic (numbing cream) to keep you comfortable. Once the treated area is prepped, your 4esthetics specialist uses a handheld microneedling device to glide over the skin.
The treatment uses fractional radiofrequency—meaning only small zones of skin are treated at a time, reducing recovery time while maximizing impact. You may feel warmth or light pressure, but most patients find the experience very tolerable.
The full RF microneedling procedure takes about 45–60 minutes, depending on your treatment area, and there's no significant recovery time—just some redness and minor swelling for a day or two.
Radio frequency microneedling is incredibly versatile and effective for:
Because the treatment works below the skin’s surface, it’s appropriate for both the face and neck, and can be adapted to sensitive areas.
The key benefit of this treatment is its ability to tighten skin and stimulate new collagen naturally—without damaging the top layers of your skin. This makes RF microneedling ideal for anyone seeking skin rejuvenation without the downtime of more invasive options.
Over time, you’ll notice:
With minimal risk and long-lasting results, RF microneedling is one of the most effective non-surgical skin treatments available today.
Most patients with mild to moderate skin conditions like wrinkles, skin laxity, or acne scarring are excellent candidates for RF microneedling. It’s safe for all skin types and can be used on multiple areas of the face or body.
You should avoid this treatment if you have severe skin disease, poor wound healing, active cold sores, or certain medical conditions. We’ll go over everything in your consultation and ensure the procedure is safe and effective for you.
This minimally invasive treatment has minimal downtime. After your appointment, expect mild redness and swelling for 24–48 hours. Some patients feel slightly dry or tight in the days that follow, but there’s no harsh peeling or extended recovery.
