What is Radiofrequency Microneedling?
At Starwood Med Spa, our staff utilizes a unique approach that produces excellent results for our patients using a treatment called radiofrequency (RF) microneedling. RF treatments have existed for many years and are well known in the cosmetic industry for skin tightening. This specific sort of therapy uses heat to encourage the creation of collagen deep within the skin to reveal a firmer, smoother surface. This treatment can be used in conjunction with microneedling to maximize the results. We frequently incorporate this new process into our patient's skin remedies to produce healthier skin, a smoother feel, and a glowing complexion for our patients in Frisco, TX.

How is RF Microneedling Performed?
Microneedling uses a tool with small needles at the end that is rolled gently against the skin to puncture and create micro-injuries that interrupt the cells and stimulate the production of collagen. Some even refer to this as collagen induction therapy. New skin grows as the skin heals, leaving the top layer looking and feeling brighter, smoother, and more refreshed. Although this process is usually performed by itself, combining this advanced method with radiofrequency microneedling technology has enabled us to maximize the results for our patients.
The procedure is quite simple. The applicator that emits radiofrequency energy works by providing short bursts of RF energy through a collection of 25 sterile, golden microneedles. The power is delivered through the needles, which concurrently puncture your skin and circle back the electrodes into the skin. The RF energy warms at levels that provide cumulative and ongoing results.
RF Microneedling FAQ
How much does RF microneedling cost?
Your cost for an RF microneedling treatment will vary based on your condition and how many treatments are recommended to achieve the optimal improvements. During your first visit, we will answer all your questions and estimate your treatment costs.
How many RF microneedling treatments should I get?
Each patient is unique — so some people may want more treatments compared to others.

What are the benefits of RF microneedling?
An RF microneedling treatment is both safe and effective for most complexion tones and types, and it can be used on almost every area of your face and body. RF microneedling delivers stunning improvements and minimal downtime if you aren't ready for a facelift or body lift surgery. RF microneedling is also a great option if you'd like to refresh the overall appearance of your skin after a facelift or body lift surgery.
Does RF microneedling hurt?
After a topical numbing cream is applied to the target area, most patients experience minimal pain during RF microneedling. Throughout the treatment, our team will check in to ensure you are doing all right. When the anesthetic wears off, you might feel mild discomfort for a short time as your skin is healing itself.
Can I combine RF microneedling with other treatments?
Although RF microneedling can deliver amazing outcomes alone, you may consider combining it with a second procedure for more improvements. In your consultation, our team will listen to all your goals about your face and body before suggesting RF microneedling and/or complementary treatments.
