In traditional microneedling, small needles are used to create tiny abrasions on the skin. It encourages the body to heal itself, leading to the production of collagen and elastin for healthy, youthful skin.

By incorporating radiofrequency, the treatment can heat the skin’s underlying layers for additional collagen and elastin stimulation. Compared to a regular microneedling session, this allows us to access deeper layers of the skin. The results are faster, more dramatic, and longer-lasting compared to microneedling alone.

Guests who come in for RF Microneedling in AMARA may experience some mild discomfort during the procedure. Prior to RF Microneedling treatment, your provider will provide a prescription for numbing cream. You will apply the numbing cream 1 hour prior to your treatment visit. At the time of your consultation, you will be given full instructions as to when and how to apply the numbing cream at home.

It takes 45 to 60 minutes for a session of RF Microneedling at AMARA.

For optimal results, our experts suggest an initial round of 2 to 4 sessions of RF Microneedling spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. After that, you can discuss with your provider a schedule for maintaining your results.
