Tighten skin. Smooth acne scars. Soften lines and pores — by waking up your body's own collagen production with radiofrequency energy.
You're not ready for surgery. You don't want fillers everywhere. But the mirror keeps showing you skin that's losing its bounce — looser jawline, deeper acne scars from years ago, pores you didn't used to have, fine lines that didn't come from smiling.
RF Microneedling is the treatment patients keep coming back for. Not because of one dramatic before/after, but because their friends keep saying "your skin looks amazing — what are you doing?" without being able to point to anything specific.
It works by stimulating your body's own natural production of collagen. We're not adding anything to your face. We're telling your skin to rebuild itself.

Deep ice-pick and rolling acne scars rebuild from within — the gold standard nonsurgical scar treatment.
The RF heat tightens existing collagen immediately and triggers months of new collagen — for jawline, neck, and crepey under-eye skin.
Tightens the skin around each pore opening — the only treatment that actually reduces pore size long-term, not just temporarily.
Two proven treatments stacked into one. The result is far stronger than either alone.
Fine sterile needles create controlled micro-injuries
Radiofrequency heat travels through needles to dermis
Heat causes immediate contraction — visible same day
Healing response keeps producing collagen for 3+ months
Microneedling alone creates surface healing. RF energy alone heats tissue. The combination delivers RF deep into the dermis through the needle channels — where collagen actually lives.
You may feel some poking sensations during this process, but many patients find the treatment to be quite tolerable thanks to topical numbing cream applied beforehand.
The result is collagen-induction therapy that reaches deeper, builds stronger collagen, and produces visible tightening that surface-only treatments simply can't match.
Same machine, same protocol — different goals depending on the area.
Tightens jawline, smooths fine lines, refines pores. Most common treatment area.
The #1 patient request. Tightens "tech neck" lines and improves crepey skin.
Smooths sun-damaged chest crepiness and vertical lines from years of side-sleeping.
Tightens crepey skin under the eyes. Pairs beautifully with PRP under-eye treatment.
Rebuilds the dermis where ice-pick and rolling scars have collapsed it. Multi-session.
Abdomen, thighs, upper arms. Tightens loose post-weight-loss skin and softens stretch marks.
About 90 minutes total. The treatment itself is ~1 hour.
Dr. B reviews skin + sets goals
30 min topical numb · zero pain
~60 min · 2–3 passes by Dr. B
1–2 days mild redness · zero serious downtime
RF Microneedling is the rare treatment that keeps getting better long after you leave the office.
RF heat causes collagen contraction · visible firmness within hours · slight pink/red flush
Tiny pinpoint marks visible from microneedles · easily covered with makeup by day 2
Surface heals fully · early improvements in texture and pore size visible
Texture continues improving · acne scars start filling in · ideal time for session 2
Maximum tightening and smoothing visible · this is your "before/after" photo moment
1 session every 6–12 months keeps the collagen production active long-term
Most patients see best results with a series of 3 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
"I'd lived with acne scars since high school. Tried lasers elsewhere — modest improvement. Three sessions of RF Microneedling with Dr. B and the depth of my scars cut in half. By the 3-month mark friends were asking what I'd done. Nothing else gave me close to this result."
"I was on the fence between a neck lift and trying RF Microneedling first. Two sessions in and my jawline has more definition than it's had in 10 years. I'm not having surgery — I'll just do this once a year."
The honest answers Dr. B would give you in the room.
You may feel some poking sensations during this process, but many patients find the treatment to be quite tolerable. We apply topical anesthetic for 30 minutes before starting, which numbs the area significantly. Most patients describe it as a strong pressure with brief warmth — not pain.
Regular microneedling creates micro-injuries with tiny needles to stimulate surface collagen. RF Microneedling adds radiofrequency energy delivered through those needles deep into the dermis — where collagen and elastin actually live. The result is far stronger tightening, deeper acne scar improvement, and longer-lasting results than microneedling alone.
Most patients see best results with a series of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. For deeper acne scars or significant skin laxity, some patients benefit from 4–6 sessions. After the initial series, one maintenance session every 6–12 months keeps the collagen production active.
Initial benefits — slight tightening, smoother texture — are visible within weeks. Full collagen-rebuilding results show approximately three months post-treatment. Many patients see continued improvement up to 6 months after their final session.
Minimal. Expect mild redness and tiny pinpoint marks for 24–48 hours that look like a light sunburn. By day 2 most patients cover any remaining redness easily with mineral makeup and return to normal activities. No "hiding indoors for a week" required.
It depends on the scar. Halo Laser is excellent for surface texture and sun damage. RF Microneedling reaches deeper, making it the better choice for ice-pick acne scars, deeper rolling scars, and skin laxity. Many patients combine both treatments — Dr. B will recommend the right approach for your specific case. See our Acne Scar Treatment page for the multi-modality approach.
Yes. RF Microneedling works well on the neck, décolletage/chest, abdomen, thighs, and upper arms — particularly for loose skin after weight loss, stretch marks, and crepiness. Body areas typically need additional sessions vs face.
It pairs beautifully. RF Microneedling works on the deep dermis — Botox works on muscle, filler restores volume, lasers treat surface pigment. Dr. B coordinates all your treatments so they layer correctly. Typical spacing: 2 weeks before/after Botox or filler · same week as facials/peels OK · separate from Halo Laser by 4+ weeks.
Patients who are pregnant, have active skin infections (cold sores, severe acne flare), have used Accutane in the last 6 months, have a pacemaker or implanted electronic device, or have certain autoimmune conditions. Dr. B reviews your full medical history before treatment.
30 minutes with Dr. B. She'll examine your skin, discuss your goals, and tell you honestly whether RF Microneedling is the right next move — or if a different treatment fits better.
