RF Microneedling in Los Angeles

RF microneedling is a staff and client favorite for improving skin tone and texture and for tightening and lifting the face and neck. Collagen-building radiofrequency energy is delivered deep within the skin through a gentle stamping technique, while the microneedles resurface fine lines and wrinkles at the surface.

Because it works deep and at the surface at once, it's a strong choice for acne scars, large pores, rough texture and early laxity, and it's popular with men and women alike. We recommend a series of three treatments for best results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is RF microneedling different from regular microneedling?

RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy to the needles, delivering heat deep into the skin for more collagen and tightening. It's particularly effective for deeper scars and skin laxity. Our SkinPen® microneedling works at the surface without the heat.

Why do I need a consultation first?

RF microneedling delivers energy deep in the skin, so Dr. Aliksanian makes sure it's safe and right for your skin before you book. We can't treat anyone who hasn't had this pre-exam.

How many treatments will I need?

We recommend a series of three for best results. Your provider will space them to give your skin time to rebuild between sessions.

Does it hurt?

Most people find it very tolerable. Compared with regular microneedling, you may feel a little more warmth from the radiofrequency.

When will I see results?

Skin often looks brighter within a week or two. Tightening and smoothing build over the following months as new collagen forms.

Is RF microneedling good for men?

Yes. Men book it for acne scars, large pores and loosening skin along the jaw and neck. See all of our treatments for men.
