Best for
Anyone who wants to work on tone, texture and lift at the same time, especially if you’re noticing fine lines, a loss of firmness or skin that’s starting to feel lax.
Why choose it
This is my lifting, skin-rebuilding treatment. Microneedling builds collagen for better tone and texture, and RF Pro is FDA-cleared to improve the appearance of mild to moderate facial wrinkles, for a firmer, lifted look.
Downtime + aftercare
a mild sunburn-like finish, typically for about 24 hours (sometimes up to 48), with temporary warmth, tightness or sensitivity, followed by possible light peeling.

What the research shows
FDA-cleared category
The U.S. FDA has cleared microneedling devices to improve the appearance of facial acne scars and facial wrinkles in adults 22 and older.
Better together
In a 2022 randomized split-face study, adding RF to microneedling led to greater measured improvement in wrinkles, skin elasticity and skin thickness than microneedling alone.
A strong safety record
A 2021 review of 85 studies in Dermatologic Surgery found microneedling relatively safe, with most side effects minor and gone within about a week.
Sources: U.S. FDA (2025); American Society for Dermatologic Surgery; Chu et al., Dermatologic Surgery (2021); Cheng et al., Frontiers in Medicine (2022). Individual results vary.
Your treatment
Two technologies, one visit
Prep
Your skin is cleansed and prepped with a hydrating, firming serum. A numbing cream keeps you comfortable.
Microneedling
A professional pen creates tiny, controlled channels in your skin. Most clients feel light pressure and a gentle vibration.
RF Firm + Lift
A soothing warmth, like a warm massage, as RF Pro works beneath the surface to support collagen.
Renew & protect
A smoothing serum goes on to support your skin as it renews, then I finish with soothing products and SPF.
How often?
I recommend a series of 3 treatments, about a month apart, at least once a year. Microneedling can be done as often as once a month, so you can keep going if you love what it does for your skin.
Before your treatment
- Avoid tanning and sun exposure for 2 weeks before.
- Come with clean skin.
- At your Skin Story, I’ll tell you exactly which products to pause and when.
After your treatment
- No makeup for 24 hours.
- No heavy workouts or sweating for 24–48 hours.
- Avoid swimming, saunas and steam rooms for a few days.
- Skip retinol, AHAs, BHAs and other exfoliants for 1 week.
- Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer, and wear SPF 30+ daily.
- Don’t pick or rub your skin.
What to expect: a mild sunburn-like finish, typically for about 24 hours (sometimes up to 48), with temporary warmth, tightness or sensitivity, followed by possible light peeling.

Have a deeper skin tone? Microneedling can be a great option for you; I take extra care to protect against pigment changes.
Because this treatment includes RF Firm + Lift, please also tell me if you have a pacemaker or internal defibrillator, an implanted neurostimulator, metal implants in your face, or reduced or heightened sensitivity to heat.
