RF Microneedling is an advanced skincare treatment that merges traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy. During this procedure, fine needles puncture the skin’s surface, and radiofrequency energy is delivered through these punctures to heat the deeper layers. This combined approach enhances collagen production and improves skin texture. RF microneedling is effective for treating areas such as the face, neck, and hands, addressing fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and loose skin. 

RF microneedling in Astoria, OR, is designed for individuals seeking to improve skin appearance and texture with minimal downtime. Results usually appear within a few weeks, with optimal improvements visible after several months as collagen builds up. The effects can last up to a year or more, depending on skin type and maintenance.
